2019 Origin Discussion

Absolute cripple fight this year!

Yeah it's certainly shaping to be a very forgettable Origin series. I wouldn't be against just giving it a break for the year but the NRL would never do that in a million years.
 
Lots of pressure on an out of form Cleary in that case.

Walker isn't a game manager.

Cleary can be, even if he is fairly ordinary in everything else. I definitely think Walker is worth trying, so many things have just turned to gold for him this year. He was probably pretty close last year too.
 
So revised side if Mbye, Arrow, DCE, Ponga, Norman, Scott and Macca are all out:

1. Munster
2. Oates
3. Chambers
4. Gagai
5. Feldt
6. Milford
7. Morgan
8. Papalii
9. Hunt
10. Napa
11. Kaufusi
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Granville
15. Joffa
16. Wallace
17. Fifita

Yuck!

If QLD can match them up front, we'd be a damn good chance. Hopefully Wallace actually does something.
 
No real surprises for either team to be honest, given all the injuries so far.

Congratulations to Payne Haas. A stunning achievement for a greenhorn like him.
 
So Haas will be rested next rund, bummer.
 
I think it was a mistake to select Cleary over Reynolds.
 
Wighton at 14 and Morris centre?

What in the ****?
 
Not nearly as intimidating a team as last year for NSW. Very beatable I'd like to think.

On another note, who's missus has Jarrod Crocker shacked up with to not even be considered for this team?
