origin 2010: game day
May 26th, 2010I could easily write another post about the NSW Blues players bein’ awesome n shit. Because they are. I love them like my own little sky blue children.
And, if we’re being completely honest, the NSW equivalent of the kid who stays in his room all the time playing weird music I don’t understand has always been Kurt Gidley. We didn’t … get each other straight away. But today he spoke to the Herald about getting smashed in game 3 last year and it’s straight-up as though he brought me a bunch of flowers and breakfast in bed.
The Maroons put up a bomb from a penalty and Gidley, realising he was about to be set upon by four hard-charging defenders, stood his ground, caught the ball and ran headlong into the Queenslanders.
”I wasn’t scared. I wasn’t going to back down from it, that’s for sure. What’s the worst that can happen to me under that – you know, get knocked out? That’s probably the worst thing, or get an injury, but I was never going to back down.”
THAT’S MY BOY! That’s Origin.
So let’s share, kittens. Favourite Origin moments?
I’ll start with Brett White proving he’s no marshmallow in game three 2009. That shit got PRIMAL.
And in the words of the late great Jack Gibson:
“State of Origin matches are proof that the meek don’t inherit anything”.
