A proud Queenslander is making the most of grand final week.
Peter, who now works in Melbourne, will be heading to Sydney for NRL Grand Final festivities, while also watching the AFL Grand Final.
“I’ve supported the mighty Broncs since ’88, so as soon as the boys finished second, I booked my grand final tickets. On the off-chance we didn’t make it, at least I could have a nice week in Sydney and go to the footy. But having my boys in it makes it even sweeter! And our girls weren’t far off making it [the NRLW Grand Final] either.”
Though the rise of the Brisbane Lions has added an extra dimension to his weekend.
“I usually drown out the Aussie Rules talk at work, but like all good Queenslanders I keep an eye on the Lions. So I’ll find a pub to watch the AFL on Saturday. I’ve got a old Lions polo I can wear while I watch it.”
Peter has already made a nuisance of himself on various footy chat groups, boasting about how it’s been an epic year for Queenslanders – with another Origin win and twin grand finals.
“Origin wins are too easy now as the Blues are shit, but a double premiership could be on!”
Peter is also looking into a Vegas trip for Brisbane’s Round 1 game next year.
“The misso’s fine with me taking off to Sydney, but a trip to Yankeeland may be a tougher sell. See how we go.”
