2023 State of Origin Discussion

[1910]

Cobbo out of Origin, aggrevated hip.

Broncos didn’t rule him out. Qld did.

Yep, Dobbo trying to start shit and implying that he's been dropped in favour of Coates. I daresay he does have a niggle that he could have played through but Billy has decided to go with the fit player instead. As a Broncos fan, I'm happy about it personally.

He hasn’t been dropped, but I know Billy made the call not the Broncos medical team. I think he’d play this weekend for the Broncos.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Dobbo trying to stir shit up though. Carrying on because the club said he would be right to play against the Titans and "what's a couple of days going to matter?". It's pretty funny when a supposed League journo doesn't realise we have a bye this week. You'd think he'd be across that.

Edit: You added the bold as I was replying lol. I agree, but there'd be no point in Billy risking that.

I didn't hear Dobbo's musings. Slater just won't carry guys that can't train from tomorrow.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Would have gone Gagai over Coates personally.

Mehh....I don't think we're that under the pump to have to try and rely on a proven fallback option.
Glad to see Slater looking ahead.

The real argument is Coates over Oates.
Oates isn't a spent force yet by a long way.......other than a recent return from injury (Oates) he's still in good form.
Its a bit of a head scratcher for mine.

Nicho is wondering why he couldn’t have played the bulldogs instead of the Storm this weekend

I'm just happy Moses played so well. It is Freddy though...you can imagine him overlooking that and still going with Reynolds tbh. All Hynes had to do was hold his own but Munster and Hughes absolutely picked them apart

 

[Alec]

Less Broncos players the better but I feel for Goates. He's been seriously excellent for almost 2 years now.

Reyno/Moses is a much tougher selection. Moses is IMO the best general kicker in the game, and a better ball runner than Reyno, but Reyno is more clutch and a better game manager.

If you're looking to the future, Moses seems better but in a one off must win game, I'd back Reyno to come in and perform over Moses.

Moses probably isn't really the future, he'll be 29 in September.

 

[Harry Sack]

Hell, I just want them to not pick Hynes purely for the outrage.

BECAUSE it’s Freddy I think he’ll overlook how rubbish the dogs are and pick Moses. Lol.

I actually think Moses wasn’t that great in the 2nd half, but defensively he was better than Reyno. So I think that’s why he will get the gig.

True, Cleary will come straight back in when he's right but Moses will be around a few years longer than Reynolds, so might as well get some xp into him

See my post above this. Looking semi-long term, if this happens again in the coming years you'd want to know you have someone decent to throw in when Cleary stubbs his toe again.

Moses is a certainty. I just hope they don't pick Lenui .
I reckon RCG is a chance too.

If they leave RCG out I think they're cooked as. Lenui would be fun, Fleger to throw a water bottle at him for the lols

Ennis says he has mail Lenui is in and TPJ is out. Keen for Lenui to do something stupid and get sent.

 

[BroncsFan]

Leniu is a bit overrated to me.

He plays like 15-20mins off the bench for Panthers and apparently that'll do to get an origin gig.

Trust TPJ to have a shocker 1 game early.
