State Of Origin: Live Build Up 9:46 PM

Oh yeah babe it's almost 10:00 and you know what that means!!! STATE OF ORIGIN BEGINS!!! This year the teams look as evenly matched as they will ever be with star young gun Josh Dugan going up against the deadly Billy Slater. Also in the halves in form Dragon Jamie Soward is going up against experienced and the ledgendary Darren Lockyer. These battles are mouth watering and will surely make this game a terrific match!!!

This year people including me have been more interested in the New South Wales build up. NSW have chosen As many people say ''The game is won through the forwards" they are probably right, both forward packs have work horses and meter eaters. But I think that if the Blues want to win game 1 of the series they will need to have good impact off the bench. If you look at the Queensland side they have named quite a tough team. So if they want to wear out Queensland they need to have a lot of fire power coming off the bench. They will also need big games from the speedy looking backline. New comers in Akuila "The Thriller" Uate has been fantastic this season for his NRL club as is looking to put his name down as one of the form backs in Origin on the wing. Another advantage for NSW is that there are many St George Dragons in this NSW backline. Mark Gasnier will be very big in the New Souths hope for a victory. His experience in Origin should be a big boost for the rookies in the side. Jamie Sowards kicking game will also be a big factor in this NSW side, for the Dragons his kicks are absolutely spectacular, deep and in space, just what the coach wants!!! Queensland will surely be watching Soward go himself they all know that he is very quick off the mark.

This is the class of the decade, LET"S GO THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!

Late mail: Dean Young starting, Ennis Moves to the bench. (Come On the Tigers!!!)

The Kiwis: Can They Upset the Aussies Again???

The annual Anzac test is almost ready to get under way with the World Champions and the Four Nations champions, “The Kiwis” taking on a hungry Australian side. The Kiwis selection of players are more picked for defensive. I would also choose a defensive side with the Aussies choosing a very offensive team.

The Kiwis have chosen the likes of Simon Mannering, Sam Rapira and Ben Matulino all from the Warriors!!! The forwards for the Kiwis will be a big factor if the Kiwis want to win! Our forwards are one of the little ways that we can beat these very good Australians. We have chosen a variety of forwards, Sam Rapira, he is a very reliable forward who makes outstanding metres from his spectacular charges down the field. Fui Fui Moi Moi, he will also be another big factor in this Kiwi side. Stephan Kearny will surely use him properly as he can create big turning points for his side.
The Kiwis have also chosen a very fearsome back row. Jeremy Smith, Bronson Harrison and Adam Blair. All very well known players in the League world. But the one of the biggest factors would have to be have the current best player in the world playing in your team, Benji Marshall. He will be absolutely crucial to what will happen on the night. It’s a case of if he turns up on the night. I’m sure that he can lead our Kiwis to yet another victory. Let’s all support the boys as they bravely take on Australia in the Gold Coast. There playing this week on Friday. COME ON KIWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Tigers Have A Buy this week!)
