OFFICIAL 2025 State of Origin - Game I Discussion

Speaking of Fifita - dropped to reserves for the Titans.

I wonder what Des isn't liking about him. I wouldn't mind having a sniff around to see if they would be interested in subsidising him.

I'm not sure they'd subsidise him enough to get me interested

Weren't there reports of wanting to revamp the roster... wonder if this is a ploy to try and get him to walk.

Although why the **** would he... he's fleecing millions off them for years now.

Probably already got enough to retire comfortably... and big Dave is all about comfort
 
I'd be looking at something like:

1. Ponga (Knights)
2. Cobbo (Broncos)
3. Hammer (The)
4. Munster (Storm)
5. Coates (Storm)
6. Dearden (Cowboys)
7. Cherry-Evans (Sea Eagles)
8. Collins (Roosters)
9. Grant (Storm)
10. Carrigan (Broncos)
11. Su'A (Dragons)
12. Fifita (Titans)
13. Tino (Titans)

14. Hunt (Broncos)
15. Gilbert (The)
16. Horsburgh (Raiders)
17. Kris (Raiders)

When Kris comes on you either play him through the middle or shift Cobbo there.
Cotter is going to be in there somewhere for sure would think

Just doesn't look fit to me looks about 5-10kg to heavy

He's a downhill skier, to put it simply, he always has been.
 
You'd think Maguire would address that though.
He typifies everything that is wrong with most our team over the last 6 years or so.

You’d take a punt if you were a team like the Storm or Penrith, who historically have a well drilled team and high standards, you wouldn’t want him anywhere near a club like ours that’s on the brink of reaching that level
 
1. Ponga
2. Coates
3. Hammer
4. Howarth
5. Cobbo
6. Munster
7. DCE
8. Tino
9. Grant
10. Carrigan
11. Su'a
12. Fifita
13. Cotter

14. Hunt
15. Gilbert
16/17. Horsburgh/Fermor/Fotuaika/Arrow/Collins

This is what I'd be looking at, pending fitness of Howarth/Grant. Holmes is just way too weak defensively at centre, would consider him for a wing spot.
I like it but I wouldn't have fifita in there at all. But instead I have fermor
 
I think Hunt is in real danger for Origin here, he likely goes to 9 for the next broncos game but he will be head to head against Billy(Piax very likely cut) in a position he hasn't played regularly in club land, I feel who ever wins that battle probably gets the role in Origin alongside Grant, unless Mahoney get's picked, possible with how dogs are playing, but I feel both Hunt and Billy have much better heads up kicking games.
