As dozens of South Australians pretend to be excited about something they barely understand, residents from some other parts of the country are getting on their high-horse and trying to educate us about a sport of which their States can’t even host the first round. Pathetic.
When casually asked by a colleague if he would like some free tickets for tomorrow’s Rugby game, Syd Neesider just started going off his nut.
“Rugby?! No rugby being played here tomorrow night as far as I’m aware. Origin is League!” snapped Syd.
“So New South Wales and Queensland are part of a league? And that’s the entire league? The Origin League?” replied his colleague, Adele Aider.
“What? No! Rugby is a completely different sport played on the same field with the same ball. What don’t you understand? League is what they play in the NRL” Syd said.
“So it is Rugby, because it’s the National Rugby League” said Adele, half knowing this would just wind him up.
“No. Origin is League, like NRL is League!”
“So what does the R stand for in NRL?”
“Ru-, that doesn’t matter, it’s LEAGUE!”
“So AFL isn’t football, that is also League?” replied the smiling local.
This continued like an Abbott & Costello skit for about the length of time someone can be interested in a rugby game.
The argument finally concluded once Syd revealed he already had tickets to the Origin League Rugby, for which he paid MUCH more than what they’re currently asking on Facebook Marketplace.
