Footy had State of Origin for years, the only reason it stopped was because they made the V.F.L the A.F.L and it wasn't needed anymore. SoO still exists at a school level for major states so I don't get why everyone is saying that it is exclusively Qld/NSW.

Also I dont get where all these random facts are coming from, because most of them are so wrong its not funny. SoO is predominately used to determine who the better players are in each state in order to create a team for national events. Its why it still exists at a school level and is one of the major drafting tools the A.F.L uses.

So lets leave it at that, the name is perfectly fine in a historical sense and in a practical sense. SoO exists all over Australia and no the ACT was never part of it, they fall under NSW. The reasoning is ACT has <500,000 people which makes it extremely difficult for them to field a competitive team.
