Episode I (not really but State of Origin One) - The Post Mortem

 The Autopsy of the Queensland Corpse will be conducted by Johnny  and special guest host Shane Muspratt It's the day after the night before. Our heroes, fresh from an evening that began with confident anticipation and ended with deep, dark depression, have the unenviable task of picking over the bones of another lost Origin.Searching for answers, pouring over replacements, speculating on futures ........but what will they uncover?Perhaps a fiendish plot, an inside job. The long game has been played by an infiltrator who has sabotaged Queensland's junior rep infrastructure.What once was a robust breeding ground of toughness and talent and is now a participation ribbon.This began 10 years or more ago and is only bearing fruit for the insidious infiltrator who dispensed with junior reps, and now our depth is being genuinely challenged for the first time in history ( except for 1995...hey, what happened that year again?) Has Chez played his last game in Maroon?Is tough Tom ready for the task?Can Munster reclaim some magic?Is Cobbo cancelled?Are we looking at another masacre on the western front?all questions asked with  very little in the way of actionable answers.It's an all North Queensland Hosting panel this week.... and zero bias evident.On days life this Life is definitely a Grapple... you just gotta dig it
