So in a week that has the rugby league world on notice that they are struggling to compete with netball in the battle for hearts and minds, I am being dragged off to Brisbane to sit through the first State of Origin game for the year. I am keeping an open mind to this and going to try and embrace the spectacle and atmosphere of the whole thing, but remain sceptical. I fell asleep last time I tried to watch a game so unless an elbow in the ribs from Luke keeps me awake I could use the time to catch up on some well earned rest.
In the meantime, check out this hanger from the weekends footy
