I don't get it, I haven't seen any examples of this gloating you're talking about, sure we have our SoO nights up here where we get together with our mates from both sides and make a night of it and if that turns to a bit of sledging, no one seems to mind. I sure can understand if Snappa, you said you're going for the underdog, because up until 3 or 4 years ago Qld always were considered it, but now for obvious reasons NSW would most definately have to be. But the so called classless comments ,. . I'm not seeing them.
I think SoO is all about a bit of fun, and if you're taking it serious enough to pass a judgement on the intent behind a bit of sledging or some celebration from the fans of the winning side, then you're right, probably not the game for you,. .
Me ,. . .I'm just about having a bit of fun, and making SoO noght with the mates some of the best ones of the year,. . [y][y][y] win or lose, it's only a game.
