The NSW Blues and their fans are still celebrating after their huge State of Origin win on Wednesday night (as evidenced by Brian To’o, who held onto the moment by keeping his playing gear on overnight…) – but the brutal decider has taken its toll… At least 7 players from both the Blues and the Queensland Maroons have been ruled out of their NRL teams’ weekend games due to injuries and suspensions – and that number’s expected to rise. Most are due to various misconduct charges after the mass barney that broke out on the sidelines – it’s NSW’s Haumole Olakau’atu and Cameron Murray who are facing 2-match suspensions. Meanwhile, in an entirely different code, Aussie expat/Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou is rumoured to be in the running to be the next English team manager… Are there no heights that bloke can’t rise to?
