Question

Just want to know why people get so pumped

Answer 1

Its the greatest single sporting event in da world. well u obviously dont live in QLD or NSW either that or u r a retart

Answer 2

Well... people get so "pumped" because it's state rivalry in Rugby League!!!  Besides "p**s-poor" Victoria and its 'g*y-Lord' AFL clubs, Rugby League is the best ball-sport going on in the nation or just the major east-coast states in the  nation. Show us ya "Muff", muffkit!! ....hahahaha *LMFAO* Also too, the 'State of Origin' competition is the best form of Rugby League in the world - even than international(because the Aussies don't have competition! And the Rugby League World Cup which is to be played later in the year after the English Super League comp, will be 'definitely a waste of time', as England are the only benefactors of the sport and Murdoch & co @News Ltd just make up teams from other nations; even Scotland, Wales and Ireland, Fiji and Samoa who don't even play the sport will be a laugh!!), and actually the sport became more popular in Australia 'believe it or not', when the Rugby League body decided to get a player named Dally Messenger from Rugby Union who was the best or one of the best players in Rugby at the turn of last century to "inject" some popularity stakes into the sport(mind u - Rugby Union is the truest code of Rugby and is the best at Rep level!). [The award - 'Dally M'(named after the guy) is awarded to the best Rugby League player of each season!]. I think that the NRL tries to go 'over the top' with their so-called "razzle-dazzle" marketing campaigns throughout the year, to make it out as if it's the best sport in the world with their hype and that's how most of the people in the major cities of both Sydney and Brisbane seem to "get-off" on it, and the NRL guys at News Limited or at Fox Studios in Sydney try to make it out as if it's better than even the 1980's series(which were the better days of the comp!).

PS.  I've always been more of a Soccer fan myself, of both the Top flight English(EPL) and Italian(Serie-A)!! ;-)

Answer 3

Not a sports fan i see, or otherwise you would understand.

Answer 4

Well Australia is easily the best country in the world at league (I'm not being arrogant I'm a New Zealander) and any people say they could produce 2 or more teams that could easily beat the nearest rivals. Therefore this competition is great because has the two very best teams in the world against each other and whats more they hate each other meaning the game has unheard of skill and feeling.

Answer 5

bring on the Tri nations. Go The ALL BLACKS!!!
