Queensland = three professional clubs but the 17 best players in the country.

Born, bred and cockroach fed!

Back when the entire country was called NSW, we hated them so much we had to form our own state.

I don't like NSW, I HATE them. Can't wait to see the dirty cockroaches squashed into the turf.

Read about Origin history

The first New South Wales v Queensland clash took place on August 11, 1908 with the blues running out 43-0 winners. The Queenslanders did not start their own competition until 1909 so their team was made up of a small group of ex-rugby union players who had pledged themselves to the 'new game', however they were less than prepared than their opponents and were outclassed.


Souths winger Tommy Anderson's first of four trie was the first recorded in the interstate rugby league - after he had also scored the Rabbitoh's first try in the premiership.


Only the way years interrupted the annual clashes over the next 73 years before the series became a three-match origin affair - and the greatest domestic innovation in Australian sport.


The closeness of the two states has been uncanny as we approach the 27th Origin series between the rival states: the series victories stand at 12 each (with two drawn) while the match tally is Queensland 40, NSW 30 with two draws.


The state jerseys have been largely unchanged since the first interstate clash took place in August 1908 - News South Wales wearing the sky blue and Queenslend the Maroon. NSW's only departure from the plain, one color design was in 1997 when a jersey of sky blue (from chest high) and royal blue was used with. Queensland has had slight variations with the introduction of white bars on the sleeves, across the waist or down the shoulder over the past 20years.


Queensland is chasing its first 'three in a row' series dominance since 1989 when it goes into this year's Harvey Norman State of Origin series against New South Wales in the games's centenary year.

The traffic makes them nuts!

NSW Origin History

They are a bunch of latte sipping metrosexuals who get more fired up by shopping than a game of league.

We have King Wally. We have Prince Lockyer. What have they got? Not enough insect repellent!

Because the 'mexicans' from down south keep migrating to our beautiful state... don't let them in!

I hate nsw because Gus likes them

I love it when QLD pulls off an awesome move and it really shuts Gus up.

NSW = "NEVER STAND a chance of WINNING

There is only 1 good thing about NSW.. THE ROAD TO QUEENSLAND

NOTHING BEATS A GOOD, HARD...comback by the Maroons, and watching them NSW.

The arrogance exempts them from real passion.

Great Origin Highlights

They STOLE Wayne!!

They believe that the football universe revolves around them and them alone.

Do we need a reason? Can't we just hate NSW because we can?

Our worst is ten times better then their best!

nswhere?

They have 'girly yellow coloured number plates' to match their football style. What reason would you like NSW

I cannot stand their arrogance. It would be great to go down onto their own turf and flog them!!!

Even NSW people hate NSW... They keep moving up here in droves!!

When was the last time they won an Origin?

They can't sell out their home ground - where is the passion?

Cos we are born and bred to hate them. Which we do with pleasure.

No Welshie is as tough as Beetson, who got split open by a can of XXXX and said 'it don't get much better than this'.

my 3 older siblings were born in nsw ans they turned out a little crazy as 4 me im a bribaneite.

They want all the games down there, but they wont even buy tickets to fill the seats!
