The Kiwis are shaping up to Australia the way Queensland do to New South Wales in the State of Origin. They are building a David versus Goliath mentality, using limited resources to their advantage and establishing traditions of performance that can be reproduced again and again.

Gee that's only like what I've been saying is the root cause of the "Queensland Pride" movement for the last several years. Where's your Rattue god now Maestro? Oh yeah he's HE'S IN YOUR NEWSPAPER AGREEING WITH ME! Laughing


In saying that, I hated the whole end of an era tone of the article. It may be true but it's everything I hate about Rattue's style. It's either one extreme or the other. If we lose another game, expect Rattue to rain hellfire and brimstone upon our boys. Rolling Eyes

whoops. Sry m8 wasnt ignoring you. Didnt see this till now, you know Im always up for a Rattue/League squabble....so allow me to retort Very Happy


Another excellent article NZ's premier sports journalist, and Im going to forgive him for his bit on the Queenslanders. Mostly b/c he doesnt actually utter the words that get you in trouble with me. "pride" "passion" Razz
