Sunday night the Queenslanders did what they’ve done often in the past: Picked a team chock-full of no-names (ten debutants, no less) that everyone thought would be sailing vacations out-skilled by the stars from down south. Then, in front of a sell-out thirty-odd thousand at Lang Park, the Canetoads belted NSW 34-16. The form guide went out the window. Similar to 1995 when Paul Vautin dragged up thirteen blokes from the Gold sailing vacations Coast reserves to crush the Blues 3-0, reputations counted for squat. The locals won on pure desire. Sunday night was a top game. Tough, open, you couldn’t help sailing vacations but enjoy it (despite Rabbits Warren descending into spin mode and defending the Sunday night timeslot). Still, is the annual showcase enough to entice back to the game the disillusioned followers of non-entities Souths, Norths, Balmain, etc, etc? Probably not. There’s still too much money stink about the game. There’s too much distrust of those in charge. There’s too many punters who don’t take the News Ltd journos seriously.
