Billy is fullback GOAT though, and somehow still playing really good.
Best karate kick in either code
that kid from the Highlanders begs to differ
Billy has quality and quantity, as far as we know the Fijian dude only has quality?
AND the kid from the Highlanders got caught and sentenced.
Ergo, Billy wins

When's the Sydney game? I have a line on free tickets, but I haven't watched a full origin game since the 00s I think. But, 90s me would have been all over the tickets so maybe I should go for the sake of that young dumb bastard.
Game 2 is at ANZ and it's on a Sunday (24th June)n a rare moment of sense from the NRL

I can't wait for Phil Goulds pre game wank fest when he sees how many times he can say 'Origin' while using the word as a noun, verb and adjective.
While simultaneously not being able to describe what any of those mean
He generally throws a few 'maaaaaaaaatttteeees' in and hopes no one notices.

Damn, I don't want to waste my Sunday, I was hoping just to head out after work. Typical NRL ruining things for me!

Expected NSW 17: James Tedesco, Tom Trbojevic, James Roberts, Latrell Mitchell, Josh Addo-Carr, James Maloney, Nathan Cleary, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Damien Cook, David Klemmer, Tyson Frizell, Boyd Cordner (c), Jake Trbojevic, Jack de Belin, Paul Vaughan, Tyrone Peachey, Angus Crichton.
If that's the squad it will be a 2-1 win to NSW.
-
And now Billy is out. If NSW can't win this they may as well give it away.

Year 12 Drama Student Blows Class Away With Gus Gould Style Monologue
WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | ContactA young man in the townâs north has today brought his classmates and teacher to tears with an inspiring rendition of one of Phil âGusâ Gouldâs famous pre-game Origin speeches.
Tony Martin (17) from the Betoota Heights area performed the first run of his 4-minute major work in front of the class today and drew rapturous applause form all who looked upon.
Featuring inspiring and upbeat classical music, a suited Martin strolled out onto the stage clasping a microphone and standing in front of projector playing a montage of inspirational origin moments.
After standing in silence for 30 seconds, the student began his spiel as a slow-mo of Paul Gallen punching Nate Myles on the chin played in the background montage.
âIf you look at history you will learn lessons. You will learn that you can never, ever write Queensland out of State of Origin,â Martin began.
âNSW might be favourites. NSW has the talent to win, they have the coach to win, they have the players to win. But do they have the mentality, the drive, the belief, the desire,â he continued.
âQueensland, the mighty Maroons, have the culture, the unwavering belief in their state and their mates, if NSW for a second take this for granted it will be over.â
âIt will be violent, it will be brutal. These players, these men, these warriors, they will enter the cauldron tomorrow tonight and will fight for it all. We will cringe at the cruelty, but it will be compelling viewing, you wonât be able to look away.â
âGiven the situation, given the players, given the nature of origin, it will be the law of the jungle. Only the strongest will survive in Origin.â
âIf I honestly ask you. Ask you NSW fans, sitting here in front of me, will the Blues win. Deep down, in your heart? See, right there, that tiniest bit of hesitation, that tiny bit of doubt. You hesitate out here you lose. You doubt yourself out here you lose!â
âYou have to believe. NSW have to believe. They have to. Tomorrow night is the night.â
âEnjoy your origin folks,â he said before dropping the mic and walking off the stage to tear and applause.
Martinâs teacher told our reporters that it was the most moving performance he has ever seen.
âWe have kids who speak about all sorts of experiences, but this performance, it transcended all social barriers. It was the most moving thing Iâve seen.â
More to come.

Really? There's a public holiday this Monday, but there doesn't appear to be one on the 25th ... but I'm not all that aware of the public holidays over here, I usually find out the day before.

There's not a public holiday on the Monday after Origin 2 in NSW or QLD...
