Glad you guys are liking my photos. Heres some more:

Thanks 2bmechick!

The Blues at Play:

The week gets better and better. Minichello, Merrin and Stewart in speedo sighting, mmm mmm. The others aren't bad either, pity I can't tell who else was wearing speedos.

Oh my Golly gosh.....those pics...I'm not a blues gal but nom nom nom

*shakes head* one pet hate is chest tattoo's....Why Choc Why *tears*

So, another day, another Maroons meet-the-fans event at my local Amart All-Sports.

Alas school holidays. There were *so* many people there. I arrived an hour and a half before the players, and even bought a little Maroons football, but didn't get *near* the players.

But I got some friends to hold my place in the line, so I stepped out of the line and weaved my way through the aisles to end up *behind* the table where the players were signing stuff. No photos, but I was about twenty centimetres away from Billy, Corey Parker, Jharal and GI, with Cammy and Thurston at either end. So that was cool.

A young boy followed me through the crowd, and we wound up right beside a journalist from Hot 91 FM, so I managed to get the kid a radio interview, which I was pretty stoked about .

But I kept my spot, hoping that I could get some autographs as the players left. But everyone else was crowding them, and I didn't want to be too pushy, so I just clasped them on the shoulder as they passed -- Cam Smith, Ben Hannant, and Matty Scott -- and wished them good luck. Matt said, "thank you!" as he passed. He seems like such a sweety. But Cam thanked me as well, and Benny Hannant was just signing everything like crazy.

Oh, Corey as well. I really stepped forward to approach him, so he might not have appreciated that so much. If you're reading this Corey, sorry man .

The funniest thing was, after the players all left and there were *lots* of people who were a little unhappy about missing out, I was just thinking to myself, the only thing missing was a riot -- and there was a brawl at the back of the story. This woman started swinging punches at this teenage boy, and trying to tear his jersey off his body. And their families started fighting, it was a bit scary. Anyway.

The latest RLW

Just noticed they left Cam Smith grabbing onto Hayne...lol!

Bahahah Zord that sounds seriously nuts but fun.....

LOLZ Us Queenslanders just pop up everywhere!!!

More players in speedos on the beach on ten news this morning, Corey Parker in small grey speedos but the camera guy cut him off it could be repeated on tonights news hopefully so keep an eye out

from the website.

Thanks kingfish . I did catch footage on channel 10, and I wondered who the grey speedos were.



I know! I enjoy the occasional brawl on the footy field, but when it's the fans, it gets a little surreal .

Meanwhile...

The Footy Show tonight.

That thing with Beau Ryan.

Was I hallucinating or dreaming, or did that really actually happen?

Dayne Beams (Collingwood)

Good work irlanthony.

I *love* a man in Mossimos. Pity about the watermarks (silly AFL), that last shot is *amazing* .

what happened? i missed it.

nice pics but the tattoos put me off, last pic leaves nothing to imagination

I'm not normally a fan of ink either, but occasionally, something will divert your attention wonderfully. And that last photo does the trick nicely .



Beau was playing perfect partners, and his partner (not Chris Heighington, sad face) admitted that Beau has some rather ... interesting nightly rituals. I think, I taped it and will rewatch it tomorrow. But, yowza.

Plus there was more footage of Beau naked, and that's always fun. One of the guys in the audience actually shouted out, "Nice arse Beau!" Can't blame them .

Kingfish and Irlanthony

This has been one of the greatest speedo/undie weeks EVER!

I thought those days were gone but you guys are stepping up. Thank you!

I'm not a fan of overly tattooed guys but Daynes underwear choice and general look is cool plus I'm impressed with the bulge haha.

By the way who is the speedo wearer next to Corey Parker? and I guess Cam Smith only wears proper speedos at the pool.

OH MY GOODNESS.....I totally forgot that was on. I was in bed my 8:50 last night XS crud...will have to download it I think

That'd be Greg Inglis. Who is apparently related to half the NRL. IIRC, he's a cousin to Beau Champion, and I'm sure he's got more cousins around in various teams.

There's like a five-degrees of separation thing going on.

Cheers Zordboy, I'd never have thought it was Greg. But now I know I can see how it is him.

So are we ready for the Origin decider?

A reminder to UK viewers that it's live on Sky Sports 1 from 1030 - 1330 BST tomorrow (Wednesday 6th July).

I have to be in Brisbane today, on Origin day no less, and I'm not going to be wearing a shred of blue on me . It'd be awesome if I saw some of the players, though, where I'm going is near Suncorp Stadium.

That means you're going to be nearish me LOLZ

shirtless Mini: http://hotgogdamn.tumblr.com/post/73017084...ds-at-half-time

Good stuff FoR .

I'm glad that Mini's abs had their night to shine, even if the Blues didn't win .

As for Dave Taylor, I bumped into him in the city yesterday. I'd just gotten lunch and stepped out of the restaurant and Dave was just walking past up towards Queen Street (he was either getting lunch or getting his hair-cut). I'm surprised he wasn't mobbed, there were *so* many Maroons jerseys being worn in Brisbane last night as I was coming home . But you know how I recognised it was Dave? He was wearing those insanely bright boardies, bless him .

Some thoughts on the game.

1. Yay!

2. No dackings onfield, but more than enough shirtlessness in the sheds. I'm sure Cooper was sans his jersey in the pre-game Maroons footage, but isn't he always?

3. There was some feeling to that. Hayne and Slater came together a few times, and even Gidley (who is normally the sweetest, nicest guy) got angry in a few places. On Hayne, I think he was easily one of their best players (and I'm glad he did a great job in the centres). He scored twice, broke the line a few times, and had a great combo with Brett Morris. Which -- again -- begs the important question of why Ricky didn't pick him in the first game.

4. Yay!

5. I couldn't watch Thurston hurt his knee, although channel nine replayed it enough times . Poor bastard. And hopefully that won't hurt the Cowboys (who are a top 4 team this year), but it'll have to have some effect. I thought it was sweet at the end how they wheeled him out and all the Maroons came over and gave him a cuddle. When Cameron Smith hugged him right at the end, it looked like JT was sobbing onto his shoulder. I don't blame him, I was getting a bit teary-eyed then, but y'know, if you want someone to comfort you after a serious injury, Cameron Smith would be high on the list .

6. Justin Hodges had a quiet night, but he was still recovering from his injury, and he had a good night without being re-injured, so I was happy for him. It's probably for the best he had a quiet night, given the carnage Inglis was causing on the other side of the field.

7. Locky went out with a win. I *was* worried, particularly the last five minutes of the first half, but the champion fought for a happy ending and they got it. That was more important than the 6-straight thing, you know?

8. I love you Gal, but those calls *didn't* go against you. Inglis was playing the ball, and given he couldn't magically evaporate, it was nobody's fault but your own when Mini stepped to the wrong side and gave Cameron Smith room to scoot over the line. Hell, Hannant had a try disallowed that's been given in a heck of a lot of club games this year. That's a little irksome, people complaining about QLD's reaction to their loss in game 2 while the Blues react in the exact same way. It's like, no.

9. What happened to Michael Ennis? I mean, I still think he's kind of a tool, but he just vanished halfway through the first half.

10. Yay!
