One thing is a certainty for me. It will be the greatest game of football I will ever experience. Confirmation came through the other day that I will have the honour of leading the NSW State of Origin team onto Suncorp Stadium as their team mascot, the cockroach.
At an NRL level, its a real privilege to take the team onto the field but this is something I never dreamt I would ever get to do and 1000's have wished they could do. Less than 24 hours to go. I am so pumped.
ARL marketing person : "Hey Gal, howzabout you antagonise those banana benders. Say something about 'two heads'…that should do it. Bogans will be incensed."
Gal : "Ok."
ARL marketing person : "Hey Cam. Keep your cool. You'll look the bigger man. The cane toad hordes will respect you for that. They'll race out and scoop up tickets to Suncorp. [Pretending to be an incensed Qlder] Oh…two heads, eh Gal? F*** you pal!!! I'm gonna be there and abuse the living s### out of you, you NSW scum!"
Cam : "Ok."
ARL marketing person : "Easy done! Should be a sell out on Wednesday now. Thanks guys!"
You forgot, seats still available ploy hasn't completely worked.......what next;
ARL marketing person calls the Wally
ARL marketing person: "Hey King there's still some seats we cant sell, can you use your profile to ramp up the redneck hate fever, perhaps write a column about NSW and Gal in particular still disrespecting us that should get us over the line"
Wally: "Ok, should I stand in front of my statue as well?"

Had Boyd for first try, NSW win, but I don't think I'll get Reynolds for Man of the Match.
Good game but f--- me dead the officiating in this code is a joke. They bounce between being too scared to make the tough calls to making some utterly bizarre ones.
In the end no one could argue that the best team didn't win.
