Nothing like it editionWOMENS STATE OF ORIGIN>GAME 1New South Wales v Queensland7:45pm AEST on Ch 9Replay 10:00pm AEST on Fox and KayoMcDonald Jones Stadium1.28-3.70>The 2026 edition of the Women’s State of Origin gets underway as current shield-holders New South Wales host arch rivals Queensland. McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle serves as the battleground for Game 1. Despite being situated deep in New South Wales rugby league heartland, this venue holds a complex history for the home side. The Blues will be desperate to break their Newcastle hoodoo. Queensland has managed to secure victories in both previous Origin clashes played at this stadium. In terms of personnel, both squads feature a mix of seasoned veterans and exciting debutants. NSW coach John Strange has named a relatively settled lineup for the opening game of the 2026 series. His squad features 14 players from the team that secured last year’s shield. The biggest inclusion for the Blues is prop Millie Elliott who hasn’t played footy of any kind for 18 months, due to maternity leave after giving birth to her first child. Across state lines, things are a lot less settled for the Maroons. Coach Nathan Cross has named five potential debutants in his maiden State of Origin squad. The team must navigate the retirement of Maroons legend Ali Brigginshaw and the absence of star halfback Tarryn Aiken due to an ACL injury. To fill this void, Cross has selected a brand-new halves combination. Young gun Chantay Kiria-Ratu will partner with former Titans teammate Lauren Brown. Can this changing of the guard for Queensland lead to a Game 1 upset? Or will the favourites New South Wales take the first step towards retaining the shield?NSW 1-12 2.85NSW 13+ 2.18QLD 1-12 4.50QLD 13+ 13.00NSW -10.5 2.00 QLD +10.5 1.81

would have more respect for him if he just came out and said "yeah the NRL is paying PNG stupid money so that they can pay me stupid money and i'd be stupid not to take it"
>>154429821I presume cash is the reason for anyone who goes there
There’s nothing wrong with what he said. That team will represent the nation, so it’s no different from going to any other club and saying the same thing about whatever region or idea that club represents
The PNG Chiefs have signed anon on a 3 year deal
>>154429804What picture?
>>154429804
>>154429502I don’t think the NRLW has a system in place like the NRL to stop 1 or 2 clubs from buying up all the talent.
>>154437411>the image that broke novakposter
>>154437428They are in an awkward position. They increase the salary cap to make it look like they care a out increasing pay for women players. But ultimately only the Broncos and Roosters can afford to spend the salary cap anyway.
>Jeremiah Nanai rules himself out of Origin to focus on the Cowboys You would NEVER see a New South Welshman do this
>>154438269
who wins tonight?
This is the reason why we have declining birth rates
>>154438146Those clubs give their girls jobs at the club outside of being a player, so they can be employed full time at the club while their seasonal/part-timers at other clubs. This is outside the salary cap until all the girls are officially employed full time as players for the whole year.
So AJ begged Russell Crowe(a White man) to stay at souths for unders?
She's back!

>>154441683They trick him every contract negotiation and say they don't want him, then he begs to stay and offers to take unders.
>>154437428>>154438146Thats not it, all the clubs spend their salary cap. The issue is NRLW has both a low salary cap and a high minimum wage. It means that the difference between the top offer and a low offer is only $10-15k (if that), so why not play at a good club? The financial incentive to move to a weaker club is not strong enough to distribute talent. One or two are also allowed to take jobs with the club as marquee players and top their wage up that way.
>>154441480They're only allowed to do that for one or two girls, although that's only the football club. Perrine got shifts receptionist at East's Leagues Club for example, untill Albanese forced her to pick berries in the wilderness as an plantation slave.
Albo must pay for his crimes

On 15 February 2021, it was reported that Lichaa had been charged with domestic violence offences against his fiancée. He was taken to hospital with serious arm injuries after allegedly being involved in an altercation with his fiancée and with former Canterbury-Bankstown player, best friend, and former teammate Adam Elliott.[37][38] The court heard that the incident occurred after Mr Lichaa caught Ms Childerhouse performing oral sex on Elliott.[39] Lichaa was acquitted in August 2022 after an 18-month legal case, as his fiancée declined to press charges, pleading guilty to the less-serious charge of property damage for the broken window.[40]"I couldn’t get the image of my fiancee performing oral sex on my best friend out of my mind," Lichaa told the court.[41] Lichaa lost 2.5 litres of blood after punching a window with his hand, with police describing the scene as a "bloodfest". Concerned neighbours, who reported hearing a man scream "I’m going to fucking kill her", called triple zero
>>154444833>I couldn’t get the image of my fiancee performing oral sex on my best friend out of my mindBased cuck kek
Elliot’s apparently got a massive dong too kek
Elliott fucked Millie in that restaurant bathroom in the SAME year btw
He wasn't with Millie yet when his best friend's fiance sucked his massive dong, that came a few months after
Why doesn't he put a bit of that energy into playing footy
Just heard the news. Craig Bellamy diagnosed with motor neuron disease...i thought there was something alittle off about him this year... no wonder the storm are nearly dead last....storm gonna be looking for a new coach in 2-4 years, cause thats the life expectancy of someone with MND sadly...
Could just be early sign of Alzheimer's i.e. slow on crossword puzzles.
>>154444842Add it to the song >>154444449
>>154444878RIPMND is one of the disorders you definitely don't want! Had an uncle diagnosed with it long time ago, it was 2 years of absolute misery for him. Im going to miss bellache and his antics in the coaches box thats for sure.
>>154444878They didn't specify MND just said it was a neurological disorder
