In a move that shocks no one who understands the game of Rugby League, last drinks were called an hour early in the harbour city last night after NSW sank into their darkest depths in years.
The Advocate can report that last night the limitation of the sale of alcohol in Sydney venues was brought forward an hour with most beer taps being turned off at 9:30pm, coincidently about the same time Queensland winger Xavier Coates scored the Maroons 5th try.
The decision to close all venues in Sydney came from the State Premier, as New South Wales collectively reeled from the fact that they simply don’t get Origin, and should probably just give up.
Speaking to local investment banker and prominent soft-cock Henry Gordon-Cremorne, the man who conveniently digs up a Roosters or Manly scarf when one of the teams makes the finals said it was a pretty grim Wednesday for NSW.
“Yeah it just wasn’t our night hey,” said Henry, as he sipped on the final dregs of a mid-strength watermelon and lime seltzer on a Scandinavian designed bar stool at ‘Paddo Wine & Brie Co.’ a “pub” that doesn’t even have a pool table.
“We just weren’t in it hey, it was pretty trash.”
Asked for his thoughts on the next moves for his beloved Blues, Henry said the performance really lands on the coach, and has nothing to do with the fact none of the blues players showed any ticker.
“Yeah it’s all on Freddy, and those damn Penrith players,” sooked Henry.
“I think we need someone with international experience, like Eddie Jones, or what is Michael Cheika doing these days?”
More to come.
