It is time for a cold XXXX and a pie or pizza, as we are about to witness the first NRL SOO for 2019. Now being a Queenslander, if naturally must barrack for the Mighty Maroons. As long as the Maroons give a 100% committment, that is all we can ask, as for the results. Well we will know by around the 10.0pm mark...
