Its that time of year, state vs state, mate vs mate

Bill's team looks good, Lozza’s is strong, but who’s will be great?

Amongst all this the game is under heavy fire, the best judges have grave fears

All we can say at The Grapple.. we’ve been telling you this for years….

A year ago.. this sydney born, bondi raised pom could only dream of being suspended in an origin match

NEXT week… his dreams of completely ruining his teams fortunes comes true.. in a wash of sky blue

Northward… and it's a little blonde haired halfback from Ippy

That's right NSW… ANOTHER one., Go FUCK yourselves

Because Sam hadn't even Walked on to an origin field before the comparisons began

Driving the narrative… the rugby league media.. besotted with the fact a bloke who isn't very tall and has light shaded hair comes from a town with a population of just under 300K… and plays rugby league

COULD it be… that this one town… drenched in an obsession with the sport… could produce not one, but 2, little blond haired champion halfbacks in the space of 50 years, whilst the whole state of NSW, all 7 million of you half wits, struggles to produce 1

He’s blonde and he’s shorter than most… but he’s blonde.. and he kinda reminds us of another bloke. Whos name wasn't walker.

And don't forget.. Allan Langer also came from Ipswich. We could’ve dragged him home from an English Nursing home to beat you f&cktards..but we don't need to. Because we've got A LITTLE BLONDE HAIRED CHAMPION FROM IPSWICH.

Time to grapple with WALKER
