BTW in NRL 360 the night before i heard the reporter dude, name escapes me atm, say that he thinks its time they started to reign back in the hype surrounding Origin. He correctly identified players from other countries and states were starting to have a much bigger impact on the game and that as they had more involvement that the reality of a game between only 2 of the 5 states had less relevance. He did state that what made origin better than the average game was the players took it personally, but that it was overdoing it with specialist coaches and 10 days lead up where 3 of those days was just players sitting round resting etc...
