57% NSW
42% Queensland
Looks like a few Forum members like the Cam Smith Avatar.

I like the avatar, on NSW supporters. I'd hate it myself. And to be fair, it gets pretty confusing when there are half a dozen regular posters who are all sporting it! You actually have to read the names of who's posted stuff

I dread which one I might have to "wear" for three weeks if NSW win...

based on the current list, if (and that's a huge if) we lose then there will be even more people sporting the same avatar. I'm guessing its going to be Gallen's ass or something.

I missed the whole avatar bet thread before game 1 and been wondering WTF is this Cam Smith avatar all about?! lol
I feel enlightened! Haha

Rowdy knows where it's at!

Just heard on Triple m Sydney that during Nsw captains run at Suncorp,
Morons highlights were shown on Big screen.

If anyone is in Brisbane, and wanting to get to Suncorp for the 2nd SOO game on wednesday, you can get standing only tickets for the game using the password thanks when you book through ticketek (https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?pp=QPOND&sh=SUNSOOST16)

Queensland Fans are like Ramsey Bolton from game of thrones (a wanker psychopath the Nazis would be proud of that taunts his enemy's)/

I don't want that shit Avatar but by the time I'm finished typing this I will have clicked Blue.

Well played Flayed man....well played....

I've worn the blue at schoolboy level....as such Dave Snow is doomed to play.

Best you win Queensland, there is no way I am having that Pic (the two Grubs) as an Avatar.

Just saw an early 1990's SOO game, which the Blues won at Suncorp. Couldn't believe the game. NO penalties in the second half, no scrums for knock-ons, no block plays, fast, fast play of the ball. Game at pace the WHOLE game. What happened to my game???

I think you should redirect your question to Craig Bellamy...

Solid point in the herald - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11661160

"State of Origin has never been so desperate for a NSW win. Not even the pre-game hype could save Origin I from being a dreary, unloved spectacle and the prospect of a dead-rubber Origin III must have league bosses genuinely worried."

You know what that means!

Funny that Corey Parker announces his retirement 2 days before, smug pricks the Morons, can see them rolling out a legend to announce "this will be my last origin" before every series decider for the next 5 years.

Guess Gallen's trying the same thing, 'cept no one likes him.

Origin III, NSW vs Morons vs Bears?

Who wants to create the "State of Origin is rigged" match fixing thread? Be interesting to check the penalty counts tonight after the Blues whinge-fest after game 1 and in the media today...

If NSW win - all the Queensland supporters could claim it was fixed so therefore the avatar bet shouldn't count

On a more serious note... Has there ever been a State of Origin series where all games were won by the away team? If NSW wins tonight, you'd have to think they'd be series favourites heading back to ANZ.
