Howdily doodily neighbourinohs!
So I missed another week of posting - LAST WEEK OF UNI DON'T EAT ME D:
Now that time is getting on a bit from Storm's big win, I'm guessing we're all now feeling some pretty bad NRL withdrawls.
This is one of the many reasons I think that State of Origin should be moved to the off-season.
Another reason is that it seriously disrupts the premiership, especially for certain teams. You only have to look at the Broncos or the Storm mid-season slump that felt like it lasted a lifetime. Sure, the best players should get picked for State of Origin, but when certain teams in particular are hit pretty hard and are scrambling to find a good enough team to put out on the weekend, you have to question the timing of the State of Origin contest.
More to the point, this also increases the likelihood of injuries to certain players (e.g. Billy Slater) who work hard in every game they play, suffer serious injury and are written off for weeks on end. Now, Storm is much more than the Big Three, but when they are getting more and more exhausted in the middle of the season I think the blokes in Sydney really have some thinking to do. At the beginning of Season 2012, Brisbane Broncos looked to be set for an excellent season, but following the State of Origin contests, they just scraped through into the finals.
But hey, that's just my opinion.
Stay classy,
Storm Girl xx
