    Ummm... OK. Good for you, Eddie. Still doesn't detract from the FLOGGING.

    I agree jethro, QLDer`s suck, carn the Blues(NSW that is)... Apologies to my fellow TWF members who are, or have ever been QLDer`s....Just a natural reaction from growing up in NSW and having State of Origin battles, both league and union...

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    just when I thought Eddie wasn't a complete and utter tool he comes out with this. A New South Welshman can never ever become a Queenslander. It just doens't happen.

    tosser.

    harsh but fair I think... his achievements in the past have been downgraded due to this blatant disregard for hundreds of years of NSW/QLD rivalries.

    I wouldn't be at all suprised if Eddie went and coached Japan next year and made the same statement about not supporting Australia.

    now I know where Eddies loyalties lie... right next to his bank account.

    eddie isn't the only person who plays for his bank account - a couple of players are/might be moving back to league for their retirement fund - you realise who they play for!!

    hey leave our Lote alone!

    I have no issue him coaching another team, but to come out and say that he's now a Queenslander is a bit rich in my book.. and I wouldn't blame QLDers for feeling the same way..
