Only way to describe it, I mean, the tune, if you don't mind, Dr. Darley, New South Wales 22, Queensland 20.

And then Thursday, it was NRLW once again.

And even though the Blues had snared the series with match two, there was pride, pride on the line, pride oozing out of every pore of our great footballing sides.

New South Wales run in a clean sweep in the third prong, but it was still full of danger and glamour.

Tune plays Maestro Tico, the forgotten man of...

The sound of ABC and ABC Sport and ABC Local Radio.

Tune, New South Wales 12, Queensland 4.

In passing, should Origin team selection be a top-rating TV event special, say, Sunday nights at 6pm on 9?

I'd make that part of the new deal that somebody's hammering out as we speak at the moment, the new TV deal.

6pm Sunday nights on 9.

It'll be presented three times a year just before the 6 o'clock news, which may be, you know, contracted to just a weather report.

Presented by Danica and the stars of the current stars or the appropriate stars of Rugby League.

Maybe even call it Thanks Danica.

It'd give it a real twist.

And packaged correctly, I believe it would be must-see down the fork TV.

Incidentally, in team selection news...

Coach Laurie Daly, and this would be the highlight or, you know, this would be the sort of the quality of information you get, was asked, you know, why did they select a Victor Radley and asked about his inclusion in Origin 1?

The immortal reply came, well, we selected Victor to be Victor.

And Victor didn't disappoint on Wednesday night.

But how could I come up with anything better than that?
