do you know what ''state of origin '' means
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

The idea of playing an origin game in england will not happen, or the fact that there is no need for it to happen.
But the swipes at origin from English RL fans crack me up, as if the RFL wouldnt fall all over themselves to have a similar concept that attracts so much publicity and revenue from just three games.

I am aware of what it once was and what the two states have turned it into, incidentally when it was first revived it was only done so on the understanding that it wouldn't be a trial for international selection unlike the sad state of affairs it is today.
