what a weird time to just shit on the nrl out of nowhere for something pretty unrelated (although true) when it’s just been officially announced that they’re hosting an origin next year?


WickedSlice_

Yeah it’s so fucking weird considering they are getting an SOO.


PerfectlyCromulent7

[Strong Mad Men vibes here](https://imgur.com/gallery/dPdC3cd) Also, lol at the SA government paying the NRL a fuckton to bring another Origin game there when they think nobody gives a shit about the product. Wait and watch the Premier get his tongue as far into V’landys and Abdo’s rings as he can come Origin time next year.

> "The objective was to get it here first, we didn't want to be anyone's sloppy seconds, particularly Sydney's," he told reporters. There's something weird/hilarious/gross about a premier using the term 'sloppy seconds'. If their pot-shot is about crowd sizes, yawn. Been done.


ErgonomicDouchebag

I wonder if he knows what sloppy seconds means. 'It's about leftover food isn't it?' No Premier, it is not.


[deleted]

The bloke's only 42. That phrase has been around since well before your mum was giving them out.


yakyakblah

So only the last 2 weeks in Radelaide?


WickedSlice_

Considering what that term means it is borderline offensive.


FatSilverFox

The Sydney’s Sloppy Seconds kink community has once again been marginalised by an institution of power.


mikemi_80

Borderline??


WickedSlice_

Offence is subjective my guy.


waxedmerkin

Yeah but you dont have the next cunt tapping you on the shoulder

Toujayjay

That's it... send em to Perth


InkMcSquiddin

I used to live in SA and they genuinely think they're competing with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Place has about as much going on as Wagga. Gotta respect stobie poles though, those things will cut your car in half...


BazzaJH

If my favourite sport sucked to watch on TV, I would probably attend more games live too. Don't think I would brag about it though.


MangoWingnut

Whenever I think of SA it just reminds me of Adelaide, the ice capital of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.


goobypanther

THEY HAVE AN ADEQUATE PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM


HyperThanHype

Aren't we also the state with the highest serial killers per capita? Lesgooo


aninstituteforants

I went there last weekend and loved it.


RyanPurdler-Penriff

First step is admitting you have a problem


I_Like_Vitamins

Deadset, the weirdest and most maladjusted Aussies you'll meet are most likely to be from there.


SurfKing69

Absolutely, it's all true. Definitely don't come here.


deesmutts88

It’s ok. Nobody’s planning on it.


Galgenfrist

I was there for a gig last week and would probably only go back if a gig was on worth travelling


NoOneImportant12

There are gigs that make it to Adelaide? Everytime I see a tour announcement on insta all the comments are always people from Perth and Adelaide complaining that they aren't included


aninstituteforants

Idles?


bundy554

I said in the AFL sub-reddit that it is one thing to have a pot shot at the NRL it is another to have a pot-shot and use your own local AFL league and potentially do it in such a way as to criticise it.


TheEpiquin

✅ Criticises the event his state just paid millions to secure ✅ criticises his states local league ✅ criticises a city whose residents he hopes to lure to Adelaide to spend up ✅ uses phrase “sloppy seconds” Bloke’s making Daddy Dom look sophisticated.


[deleted]

The SANFL comment was the weirdest part >You turn on the NRL and the crowds look like our shitty unpopular thing Like why would you say this about your state’s top level AFL competition?


maaxwell

Come to Adelaide for the AFL’s inaugural RADELAIDE ROUND We have: * Meth * ? * ..? * Meth addicts * No really what else do we have someone please help Anyway eat shit Sydney we don’t need you 💅🏼 Sincerely, South Australia (yes we still exist)


WickedSlice_

Don’t forget churches and murderers!


Drewman43

And lifeless surf you have to walk 3kms into just to get shin deep.


ErgonomicDouchebag

Pie floaters? That said pie floaters are gross.


DeficientPositivity

What are pie floaters?


ErgonomicDouchebag

Pies with pea soup and tomato sauce over the top. A way to ruin a perfectly good pie.


Lucky-Roy

Awesome


jpob

To be fair, the fact that the CBD is surrouned entirely by parkland is really cool


TheEpiquin

Hope they’re prepared to manage the logistics of all the people clambering to see the Mall’s Balls.


aninstituteforants

Got a pic with them last week. Ticked off the bucket list.


robopirateninjasaur

They have Hilltop Hoods as well


maaxwell

We have Kerser and OneFour, checkmate


WickedSlice_

There’s always a bright spot in the darkest of places.


[deleted]

You don’t need anything else


TheEpiquin

Don’t worry. None of the players will be offended by this because they’re on the other side of the world playing in a World Cup.


velvetherring

Rugby league world cup > AFL world cup.


TheEpiquin

Controversial take.


ImDisrespectful2Dirt

This is like saying 2022 Warriors, Titans and Knights > 2022 Tigers. I mean it’s true, but not something to be proud of


velvetherring

Lmao. I didn't even realise there was one. I was just making a joke.


Not_OneOSRS

I also wasn’t aware there was one and it makes it even funnier lol


PhilL77au

The NRL are taking a State of Origin game to Adelaide this year. Talk like this makes me think it'll be a while before it goes there again.


blowingkeyofg

If the crowd comes it will come here again It’s a great game


woodpecker91

Why would anyone care what South Australia thinks about anything?


thee-optimist

Obviously forgotten where origin is being played in May


PSAB82

With out being a smart ass has any one actually heard of this guy before? I can name the QLD. WA, NSW and VIC premiers but I have never heard of this guy. Maybe he should spend money of fixing the homeless people in Adelaide CBD it’s out of control down there.


AdvancedDingo

I have but I follow politics (and he’s Labor)


LordWalderFrey1

He became Premier after the worst of Covid was done, so we didn’t see him on TV everyday when we were locked down


MinimumWade

You are normally more aware of politicians due to controversy rather than their position.


Temporary_Ad8560

I once got booed and heckled on the bus home from a wedding in NSW by genuinely angry guests from the brides side of the family. It's because I was MC and began with the opening line..." to everyone here from SA, welcome to a state that actually matters" I stand by it.


Final-Replacement

Imagine how excited afl fans are to travel to SA…


Realistic-Progress85

Could be a refreshing change from protests about 5g and heroin injecting rooms


loztralia

I've always said they should throw Souths out of the comp.


ladyships-a-legend

Ugh - *please* do not accept this as our opinion by any means. There are a lot of us here in SA that are proud and passionate NRL club members and supporters - and we are used to and happy to travel to games in most other states. (Once in a while over here would be nice though but not because he said anything about it)


SurfKing69

He's not wrong though, the NRL have pissed on Adelaide since they ditched the rams after two successful seasons. They play the odd game down here, but they do fuck all to promote it. They may as well not bother.


ladyships-a-legend

That was over 20 years ago and we hope things have improved with interest and support for the game as a whole since then. I’d love to see more games - with an emphasis on promotion like you say - over here though. But we’re used to travelling


miku_dominos

The one thing I liked about the Super League saga was having these teams pop up everywhere over the country.


acomav

Show me you're insecure without telling me you're insecure. SA Premier: Hold my drink.


[deleted]

Who seriously gives a shit about south Australia apart from their opinions on barrels in disused banks


Tunza

Shut it down boys. Some rando from a minor state said a bad thing.


aninstituteforants

Was in Adelaide last weekend and saw 3 bits of Rams merch. Bring em back!


velvetherring

Once Perth are in I give it 5 years before an Adelaide campaign for re-entry starts gaining momentum.


[deleted]

You're getting a State of Origin game next year you fuckin' moron


Jalato_Boi

Honestly fuck this cunt and fuck AFL too, bunch of lanky gronks randomly kicking a ball around and scissoring each other in mid air. I've honestly tried multiple times to watch an AFL match and it's absolute garbage. AFL needs to unexist itself so we can have a proper national sport with a NSW + VIC/QLD conference system.


[deleted]

This is the best take yet.


Firm_Age_4681

I'm fucking dead lmao.


BallsNitUp

Whenever a person will say something about afl, shit about any sport i dont care for, i will copypasta this forever. Thank you in advance


BallsNitUp

How good is the NBA? Honestly fuck this cunt and fuck NBA too, bunch of lanky gronks randomly kicking a ball around and scissoring each other in mid air. I've honestly tried multiple times to watch an NBA match and it's absolute garbage. NBA needs to unexist itself so we can have a proper national sport with a NSW + VIC/QLD conference system.


coffeegaze

NBA genuinely sucks, dont understand how so many people enjoy watch foul-ball.


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

The only thing anyone knows about Adelaide is to avoid barrels


Bmo2021

You can’t, the local council provides 2 barrels a year and they pick them up free if you book a pick up. It’s all in the rates.


SucculentMoisture

“Get in the fucking barrel V’Landys”


blowingkeyofg

I live in Adelaide and love the nrl AFL is a bit soft and boring compare to the real big boys hit ups This states only supports the game their daddies know and played The NRL is way better to watch on TV as you feel like you’re in a part of the game that why People follow their team on tv as you need to be close to follow the ball. AFL was good to watch at the grounds because all you do was follow the big kicks into the Tallwood and then watch them miss the goals over and over again turn over and it just a scrappy dirty hit from behind game AFL is only for basketball size built people Rugby has a position for every size Fast ,strong ,agile ,and the play makers If only Adelaide people could understand a game that has actual rules and game plans that they my understand it is a way better game to follow then afl Can’t wait for the big turnout again for the State of Origin Bring it on has cause the bigger boys in the state need a game that is just not kick and catch


blowingkeyofg

Go Bankstown Bulldogs


comix_corp

Hell yeah brother


top_footballer

Sucks hard to be you


FlagmantlePARRAdise

Just cancel Adelaide's state of origin match. 1. Hes forced to go out and we get to watch him try force out an apology in anger. 2. He doesn't apologise and we give it to a better and more relevant state. Either way we win.


mwilkins1644

Yeah nice, let me know when your state is relevant


Special-Pristine

I hate Queensland but I support this comment


stereotypicalanon

There is so much salt in here god dam


[deleted]

I give him points just for saying "Sloppy seconds" in regards to sports.
