ORIGIN
Many of my readers are from Australia, so most of you will also know that State of Origin II just went by. Here are some other things that you may or may not know:
- NSW had yet another horrible start (18-0)
- NSW had yet another great 3rd quarter of the game (caught up to 18-14)
- QLD somehow managed to score the last try again ...
and in doing so made the scoreline a lot less respectable (24-14)
- The Blatchy Blues wigs are ridiculously itchy
- Wolfman had a shocker of a 1st half
- Jarryd Hayne had a legendary 1st half
- Jonathan Thurston is still a wanker
- The Maroons secured their 4th straight Origin series and made history
"I don't know what to say ... I'm shattered" said Blues Captain Kurt Gidley. Well Kurt, as easy as it is to point the blame at the captain, the coach, the selectors ... the whole team needed to put their best foot forward, and only a few answered the call.
With all that aside, being a part of the 80 000 at the near sellout stadium was definitely the best $60 I've ever spent. Being there at a packed stadium (see 1st photo) is easily the best way to support your team, the atmosphere alone is worth it. Other sporting events/teams I would love to hit up include:
- NCAA Final Four
- FIFA world cup finals (anywhere)
About the photos, both were taken with my Panasonic Lumix LX-3. 1st photo was a 4 photo stitch using Photoshop CS3. 2nd photo was a 12 photo stitch using Photoshop CS3, and that explains the distortion that you see in the photo.
