Qld v NSW (in Victoria)

It's State of Origin time again - with game one of the series played in Melbourne. It's a situation that can confuse the occasional sports viewer. Why would a competition between Queensland and New South Wales be held in the state of Victoria?

Whilst Melbourne has a team in the national league, the game still hasn't entirely taken off in south-eastern state. What better way of showcasing rugby league to Victoria, than to show them the pinnacle of the sport?

Similar controversies happened even back in Jesus's day. People asked him similar sorts of questions, as he associated with outsiders - people who weren't considered part of the in-crowd.

This is probably the only time i'll be comparing rugby league administrators with Jesus, but perhaps they have also decided to "go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all people".
