QUEENSLANDERRRRRRR!!
Today's pic will be from Origin, no doubt of me looking like a drowned rat (with curly hair, my straightener can't help me against this type of weather) from this torrential downpour we're having in Sydney atm. Crazy.
Super excited for tonight! Go Qld!!
Update: Origin last night was awesome, especially as the mighty maroons won! Yeeewwww!!!
Turns out the weather wasn't nearly as bad as we expected with none of the thunderstorms and only 1 heavy period of rain during the game. Thanks weather gods!
The usual things happened in the game - QLD were awesome, NSW challenged, a QLDer made an error (Billy Slater's dropped catch), NSW cheated and were awarded a try that shouldn't have been given, the ref lost his contact lenses, QLD got in front, NSW were awarded a few penalties in the last few minutes and staged a comeback, QLD were still too good for them and won the game. Sounds really familiar doesn't it? That's because that seems to be how most Origin games go, especially the part where NSW are dirty cheaters!
The Hoodoo Gurus provided the pregame entertainment from inside the stadium because someone didn't have the forethought to purchase some kind of clear tent to put over the stage so they could be out on the field. It's not like the bad weather came as a shock lol.
Was a fabulous night yelling and screaming and calling lots of people the less polite version of mofo's. ANZ doesn't have the same atmosphere as Suncorp, tho that could just be because there are more people to celebrate with in Queensland.
Wish I was going to be home for game 2, I have lots of fun memories of afternoons spent at the Caxton, watching the buses drive down Caxton St to the stadium and then walking down with a huge mob of people all yelling "QUEENSLANDER".
