2024 State of Origin discussion

[JayPee]

I'll wait to hear it from Billy first tbh. I'm sure I read an article earlier about Fifi needing to prove himself for Billy to pick him...considering he was excellent against us I'm not sure how you leave him out.

And he was selected last year!!!

 

[BooKhaki]

If we actually don't pick Fifita it's a truly horrendous selection blunder.

 

[The Don]

That's my boy Bill. Let the Titans run riot during the origin period. Too many cowboys though

 

[Super Freak]

Picking Cobbo on the bench because you're too afraid to drop Holmes.

Good one.

 

[The Boss]

Fifita must be injured to have felsise kafusi over him is mental

where did you get Felise Kaufusi from. he wasn't in the reported QLD side. I'm not sure I've even seen his name reported at all this year in relation to origin selection

Kafusi Piakura Mam are 18th 19th 20th man

 

[Bucking Beads]

If NSW manage to get up the lols about Cleary not being a top tier half will be fun,

They won’t be as we know firsthand that he is top tier

 

[Bucking Beads]

Slater leaving out Fifita would be one of his worst ever decisions

Again I ask where you read that. Because the team hasn't been announced, and I have only seen the top 17 reported

 

[Bucking Beads]

If Piakura is in the 20 man squad ahead of Fifita it is laughable. Worse than any of the NSW selections

Crazy that they’ve picked Luai when Cleary isn’t in the team.

He has played well in Cleary`s absence .

Ole Sproj reckons he`s the 10th best #6 in the comp .
He was MOM on Saturday .

I think he's playing better without him there.

 

[Big Del]

I seriously don't understand the Cobbo selection. It feels like Billy couldn't decide between Cobbo and the outside backs picked to start, so he just selected them all.

IMO you can't carry a hooker AND an outside back (even one that can also play fullback) on the bench

Cobbo can play 1, 2, 4, 6, 11 and 13 .
Remembering Ponga played 13 a few years back .
Fckin great utility if you were to ask me .

He did play well on the weekend. Reckon he’s still very much a one trick pony

 

[Big Del]

Nah , nah nah that`s not the narrative we are pushing .
He`s nothing without Cleary . And he`s going to be exposed at the Tigers next year . OK ? Solidarity at BHQ !

Luai got a man of the match award for one time in like how long and gets origin selection (which is never a great prover of any point - JUrbo is captain for goodness sake) on the back of Cleary, Walker, Moses, Wighton, Reynolds being unavailable - so yep 5th or 6th best half in the state. This does not factor in DCE, Hunt, Dearden, Walker, Mam, Johnson, Munster, etc either.

And I know comprehension is DEFINITELY not your strong point, goodness me sometimes it is laughable in fact, but I don't think I ever said he was the 10th best 6, I said he is a slightly above average half and given the FACTS shown above, I might have in fact overrated him, so...yep you sure showed me didn't you.

LOL !
