The Ampol SOO

[cochise]

Origin is going to suck this year. No way will the quality be as good. Most won’t have played a game for nearly 4-6 weeks.

I still would like the origin to be at the end of the season again next year

It just fits better imo


Will never work, you will have clubs putting pressure on the star players not to play to get surgery and recovery done over the off season.

The only other way is to stop the comp for 3 weeks during the regular season
Origin needs to be played over 3 weeks not 6-7 as well

I like the idea of stopping the comp for 3 weeks and playing origin and pacific internationals

It’s a fairer way imo
The way origin is now / pre covid was a drag and who wants to watch depleted NRL games ..?

100% mate, there would be plenty of things they do during that time to keep interest up as well. Choose 27 man squads like they have for this year and they stay together for the 3 weeks. It would dominate the sporting media for 3 weeks and not hurt the NRL has ithas in the past.

Has anyone sighted a Caltex servo that has been rebranded Ampol yet? I believe it was supposed to be happening by now.

I remember the Ampol Ads back in the late 60's or 70's when we had lots of petrol strikes and fuel shortages and their slogan was "why go past Ampol" and the reply was, "because they've got no bloody petrol!"

I probably have but I don't pay much attention to anything really

I think that’s a great idea. In the middle of the season. It would give those not playing SOO a decent chance to get over niggling injuries, ready for the resumption of the comp. A win/win.

No Pacific Islanders pretending to be QLDer's - we had to go through a ten year slump without them
and so QLD will have to do the same thing.

It is our turn for the 10 long years.

And it still doesn’t effect West’s Tigers either way lol

And it will give Madge an excuse to keep training the players.
