I dont know that it was being picked young that impacted meyers career. From memory he had a series of heavy head knocks after his Australia debut. His confidence was shattered fir a long time after that and he never reached those playing hights again. As an outside observer Carl webb was...

Definite shortage of genuine rep quality players for Queensland, other than ones already discussed. A quick peruse of the Qld eligible players on the QRL website is pretty dire reading TBH. http://www.qrl.com.au/state-of-origin/eligible-players.htm A couple not really in discussion for some...

I guess the thing that has to be decided with the bench spot of Morgan v milf is whether its seen as a spot that is used as cover for multiple positions verse x factor impact to break open a game. Thats tough because you can't predict injuries but then do you waste a spot for a just in case...

I prefer to remember the 2001 maroons. Smached 3 nil and hand grenaded in 2000, brought in seven forward debutants for 2001 series and smashed the fuckers who thought they were about to go on a 1000 year dynasty. This talk of Hess not ready is ridiculous. Carl Webb played 13 nrl games and all...

yeah, well they fucking should... its a state of origin series saver, not a fucking coombya love in. hes terrible now, piss him off.

**** that... kevvie deserves the sack if he cant drop myles and lilly man. Thaiday is borderline as well. And why do people think Boyd can play centre... when did he consistently do that last if ever. Fullback was not the problem, and slater will add nothing. Experience only works with...

Harping back, but heres what we did in 2001 after being humiliated in 2000 2001 Qld origin forward debutants Game 1 Kevin Campion… nrl debut 1993 John Buttigieg .. nrl 1996 Petero… nrl debut 1998 John doyle … nrl debut 1997 Brad Meyers…. Nrl debut 2000 (23 NRL games (only 4 starting) prior to...

Need all three... Hess Sims and Wallace... we have three non negotiable forward duds to replace in myles lillycrap and guerra.... four if we count sammy, but I don't think Queensland has another forward to throw in the mix... maybe Ethan Lowe...we will lose this series for sure without these...

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet... the players he will replace are past it.. better to bring him in too early than too late.. said this elsewhere but in 2001 after the 2000 debacle 7 forwards debuted in game 1 and we smashed them. Kevvie was way too conservative and now instead of...

seriously, why all the worry, he'll be fine.... its state of origin and he's a queenslander... that will get him through

Always a lot of conjecture on here about how Milf would go to a new level with the right halfback. I know its a tough gig, but never gonna get a better opportunity to shine than when he's got Cronk and Smith orchestrating and he can just chime in when the moments are there. Hopefully he's not...

Its not ideal, but in 2001 7 forwards debuted in game 1... Kevin Campion, John buttegieg, Petero, Brad Meyers, Carl Webb, Chris Beatie, and John Doyle. Dane Carlaw also debuted in game 2. No problem with Lillyman and Myles if theyre best players available, but I think its time to move on, and...

think you can add Gagai to that as well... he will be better with class players around him, but he's a deadset pea heart for Knights and shouldn't be a walk up start. I'm over the whole loyalty and incumbency thing.. good deserving players who would do as good a job miss out because of it. I...

Kills it is an exaggeration... he does a great job, but he's never killed it... he's mostly a plodder that fills a role, I won't miss him.. its time to move on

I like this team with the exception of Gagai... he was terrible yesterday and has been for most of the season. Probably get booed down here, but i think Ricky Leutele would be a good fit... a genuine centre who defends well, can score a try, and has played consistently well for the past few...

not sure if serious????

Don't always, but I agree with Benny on this one. Walters needs to grow a pair of balls and get off the fence. Bennys probably still pissed when hunt spent the week in camp when Cherry had his bung whatever it was, only to make a call to play on the day before the game. Kevvie could be...

Can't remember who it was on one of the talk shows, but I think they made a fair point about this. They were talking about Hayne costing 1.2mill to play in centres, but he made the point that thats not necessarily a problem, its more about impact and balance in the team overall rather than what...

Yes and no to this I think. I don't think you could say the pathway is flawed because if you look at every NRL team you would be hard pressed to find a player (except international imports or debuted in NRL pre 2008) that has not come through the NYC system prior to playing Intrust cup level...

He would have stagnated here too. He wouldn't force out milford or hunt or his brother. He would be playing intrust cup just like he is now. He needs a club to develop at and then get a shot at nrl in the near future. .no way that's broncos. You can't stock pile talent. .the cap doesn't let...
