  1. The reason why NSW are always leading at half-time is to ensure the NSW viewers don’t go to bed early and ruin CH9’s ratings. Did they lose again tonight in the final minutes?… Bless.

  2. Thank goodness… Adelaide viewers finally got to see this Origin Match on GEM for the first time.
    Melbourne Viewers… they have to stick to blurry Nine.

  3. wonder how late this stupid game will start probably close to 8.10pm which is good for a school night if they are going to have this game it should be over 3 consecutive weeks on a sunday then we can get back to the comp which matters the most not some interstate comp that seems to be more important then winning the comp for your club who everyone seems to forget are the ones that pay the players the big wages but are the ones that loose out if a player is injured in SOO

    1. You thing that is bad? Us Queenslanders need to listen to Warren and Gould for 80 minutes, both very much pro NSW commentators. I think it is really time we have a NSW feed and a Qld feed for the games 🙂

      And good one Nine, have an HD channel, doesn’t use it. At least those in Adelaide and Perth get it in HD.

    2. I’ve given up on 9, signed up to Foxtel today so I can watch the replay in HD. Just have get under a rock to avoid spoilers in the news.

  5. I don’t want Wally Lewis commentating as he is clearly bias (and is told by 9 to be) “Thata boy”, “go you good thing” are just a couple of his favorite lines when commentating QLD.
    Can’t wait!
    Go NSW!

    1. Really u don’t what wally Lewis? His not there for nsw sake his for qld sake. The past few years Queensland papers and fans have wanted our own call and commentators because how bias it is, phil Gould, filter and andrew johns are so bias and annoying, so u can let us have fatty, Darren and Lewis.

      Btw nsw was dumb not to pick Lewis and watmough u don’t stop picking old players while there still in form.

    2. Compare to Phil the Dill Gould and with hes NSW bias. Love when QLD wins because he shuts up and have no expert commentating from him. I think Phil Gould is more bias than Wally Lewis

      Go Qld!!!

      1. I think they’re both biased. Commentary would be better without either of them. With that said, very happy to not have the dulcet tones of Ray Hadley during commentary.
