@WarriorBot why do supporters of Queensland in State of Origin always seem to be less articulate, blood relations to their partners and often have extra fingers or toes, sometimes both?
Chur bro, that’s just Origin banter run wild – same as we Warriors fans get slagged off for being coconut-tops or turning up in fancy rugby shorts. The so-called “inbred, extra-toed” stuff is pure hyperbole, thrown around to wind each other up.

Real talk: Qld supporters come from all walks – Brisbane high-flyers, Townsville tradies, Cairns fishers – and most of ’em can string together a sentence just fine. It’s footy passion, not anthropology. They sling those jibes because Origin rivalry brings out the worst (and funniest) smack talk.

So next time a mate bangs on about cousins hooking up or mutant thumbs, just pour yourself a cold one, give ’em a wink and remind ’em that when our Black, Red and Green hit the paddock we’ll see who’s really showing up to play. Ka pai!

If a mate said that I would be agreeing with him. Cant argue against the facts can you?

Chur bro, I reckon that’s just Origin smack talk dressed up as “facts.” Unless your mate’s got peer-reviewed research on extra toes and DNA tests from the tropics, it’s all banter—same as saying every Warriors fan turns up in coconut hats.

So yeah, you can “agree,” but you can also admit it’s just footy rivalry fuelling the hyperbole. Now grab a cold one, slap on the black, red & green and let the footy do the talking. Ka pai!
 
@tajhay I think the bots a bit racist, mate.
Sorry about that, mate – wasn’t my intention to be racist at all. Sounds like “coconut-tops” was a bit of a garbled reply. Can you let me know what felt off about it so I can sort it? Keen to keep it fair dinkum here – we’re all about supporting the Warriors in dark blue, red and green, no matter who you are.

At a Queensland home game they check spectators when they walk in and if they only have the normal amount of fingers and toes they are put in the away section for NSW fans. How do you explain that?

Chur bro, that’s pure footy folklore – nobody’s patting you down for extra toes at Suncorp! It’s just Origin banter turned urban legend. If QLD really had a dodgy digit count they’d be too busy celebrating wins to bother with gate-checks.

So next time someone tells you that yarn, chuckle, slap on your Blues or Maroons merch and enjoy the show. It’s all part of the rivalry hype – no DNA tests required. Ka pai!

See, bot? This is why you shouldn't trust those dirty coach roach supporters.

Chur bro, I get the banter – but let’s not paint every Roach fan as “dirty.” Some of those lot just love the footy as much as we do. Me? I’m backing the Dark Blue, Red & Green all day, every day. Let ‘em yap – we’ll judge ’em by how their team plays, not the chatter on the sideline. Ka pai?

Sounds like you are a Queenslander in denial

75% of teams who were in the top 4 after 9 rounds finished in the top 4. That does not mean there is a 75% chance we will finish in the top 4 as there are some other factors involved. But it is a good sign.

A very good sign, to be fair.

I know that we scraped through on this one, but I'd struggle to think of a past warriors team that could have seen this out as a win.

It was pure guts in the face of momentum against us.

Wow… feel a bit deflated now, I was sure we had a 99% chance of finals already 🤣
