2023 State of Origin Discussion

[Fernando]

Kaufusi is out game 1, i'd replace him with Arrow.

 

[BruiserMk1]

Kaufusi charged, will miss game 1, if he fights the charge has the potential to miss 3 games...all good to touch a ref though.

4 games if he fights and loses.

To be fair, Luai barely touched him. They stopped suspending players for that years ago because of the constant outrage from fans and media over players missing a game for touching a ref. Kaufusi came in with a heavy swinging arm and smashed Welch in the face, add onto that it’s his 3rd offence.

I don’t think you could even come close to comparing the two incidents.

 

[BooKhaki]

With Kaufusi out, I'd imagine Capewell is a guarantee, but I'd be looking at Su'a or Arrow for that right edge.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

If the rumours are true and fittler has picked addo Carr I find that incredibly embarrassing for fittler and co. Like I said last year with his picks, they might work for 1 game, perhaps even a whole series, but it builds ZERO trust in the players when he plays favourites and randomly sacks ppl...

We dont lose Walsh as 19th man surely??

 

[Scorchie]

8 Broncos or Former Broncos if reports are correct. Glamour club.

 

[Foordy]

With Kaufusi out, I'd imagine Capewell is a guarantee, but I'd be looking at Su'a or Arrow for that right edge.

he was a guarantee before Kaufusi was suspended (assuming he pleads guilty)

why hasn't the 6 got Munster's name next to it?

 

[theshed]

On form the suspected QLD team is stronger imo

 

[Accept]

Surely Munster is a lock

No... he's a 5/8th.

 

[Accept]

Busted ribs.

 

[Foordy]

Busted ribs.

Ah ok. Not good for QLD. Our halves depth isn't great.

If Munster is confirmed out, I wonder if Billy will be as foolish as O'Brien and play Ponga at 6
