Blues mongrel sinbinned over cheap shot on Queensland pooch at RSPCA State of Adoption function Broncos prop Ben Hannant tries to separate NSW mongrel Billy, who loves a blue, and Maroons mascot Alice for the RSPCA State of Adoption challenge. THINGS turned nasty at a State of Adoption function on Friday when NSW Blues mascot pooch Billy sunk his teeth into Alice, Queensland's fair-playing talisman. The State of Adoption is a shameless rip-off from the State of Origin rugby league series. Instead of playing footy, the Queensland and NSW RSPCA organisations try to outdo each other in how many dogs and cats are adopted. But as Broncos prop and Maroons hopeful Ben Hannant met Alice and Billy yesterday, the latter turned nasty, giving the Queensland pooch a nip on the kisser. It was shades of Game One on June 5 when Blues skipper Paul Gallen biffed Queensland forward Nate Myles on the dial. RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty said he was thinking Billy should be renamed Paul. "He carried on like the NSW captain," Mr Beatty said. Poor Alice was king bit. I expect revenge on Wednesday night against these blue mongrels and I'm thinking of sin-binning Billy. He's just lucky he and Alice kissed and made up after the photo shoot. Like their league heroes, Queensland's RSPCA staff are on a winning streak, having beaten NSW in four adoption challenges in a row. Mr Beatty predicts they will win by a whisker. So far this year, RSPCA Queensland leads NSW 738 to 536. Last year Queensland won 1831 adoptions to 1231. Adult dogs cost $90 to $200 and are desexed and micro-chipped. Adult cats are $20.
