Game One: QLD v NSW @ Etihad Stadium, Melbourne

[~knights1~]

honestly

I think we will get smashed by qld

just hope gids and jimmy mac play well and don't get injured

that's all

 

[Sammyyy]

That is a pretty big loss.

Im sure Laffranchi wont disappoint though. I wonder who will be the next 18th man then :think:

re Gallen Out of Origin 1

To be honest it's not much of a huge loss IMO. Gould nailed it on the footy show. Whilst he has been playing awesome for the Sharks - it's not hard to stand out in that side!!

Laffranchi will do the job.

If anything it has strengthened the side.

 

[knight-no-7]

No big loss. Saves us giving away a few penalties, if anything!

 

[Liam]

Gallen is a bloody good player he is a big loss.

Exactly, he was rubbish in game 3 last year.

Also, got my jersey and hat today.

how much did you get your jersey for ? laffranchi will do the job.

 

[bigdan]

how much did you get your jersey for ?

Speaking of, you can get a 2009 NSW SOO jersey and cap for $99 online at www.longpromotions.com. That's decent value. If I don't get anything at the game tomorrow, I might pick up a jersey.

It's my bday present but I'm wearing it a few weeks early

I could have saved $70..

 

[newcastle_fan_4eva]

i was in rebel yesterday and the S.O.O jerseys in there were about $160

i was thinking of buying one but my sister won't let me since i already purchased the heritage one. :noway:

 

[U23]

I've seen a few decent origin jersey deals around..

At Peter Wynns if you buy one male jersey you can get a second child/womans jersey for free.

Also, ticketek have an offer where if you order tickets you can purcahse a jersey for $70.

As for me, I probably won't get this years one. I've already got last years one which I'm than fond of. Got it for $80 on eBay.

That's an awesome deal. Almost seems to be too good to be true!

Good thing about origin jerseys is they can last forever, they are always going to be relatively the same design and always going to be predominately sky blue.

The unfortunate thing is that you are pretty much a walking billboard, that is what I felt like when I wore mine today

There is the big wizard logo (which I believe will be changed to Aussie after July 1), the harvey norman SOO logo, the wizard NSW blues logo and the nib sleeve sponsorship..

 

[Ms.Nobody]

NSW will name an 18th man today. I have a feeling Chris Houston might be it!

Would be so beneficial if he went down there and experienced even a day in camp.

 

[Denno]

Based on his performance yesterday, he wouldn't be out of place in the NSW squad.

 

[Sammyyy]

18th Man is Watmough. He'll be joining the squad tmrw.

They would have gone with someone who had a bye this weekend. Though Houston may have his chance next Origin.

True. I've got one from a few years ago.

Every sports jersey is like a walking billboard - when you wear a Knights one, really you're plugging Coal and Allied and NIB.

Anyway, I just realised I won't be able to watch the first half of it, nor listen to it at TAFE on Wednesday night - I've got an assessment.
