POST GAME 2026 State of Origin

Going Cotter and Capewell over Luki and Finefeuiaki is certainly a choice

Shiba making the team is insanity as well.
The NSW defence will be terrified of their line running prowess... Meanwhile, NSW are rumoured to be picking Olakau'atu and Hudson Young. Good luck to Cotter and Cape trying to protect the 78kg Swalker and old turnstile Munny in d
 
Billy is ****ing cooked 😂😂
Surely he sent madges cv into the broncos. If madge was coaching the blues he'd get absolutely cooked with these selections. But its Daley, so, will probably look like sir Alex Ferguson on steroids.

Form matters*

*unless youre trent loriero.........

Cobbo has been the same, if not worse, than any year at the broncos but he wasnt good enough. Carrigan, despite the form, is a proven origin GUN, shiba is very, very lucky to be in 1st grade, flegler has been playing about 25 mins average ffs haha capewell and cotter ahead of BOTH finef and luki is absolutely cooked....Billy is trying to outsmart the ****ing room, any decent coach would destroy this team. I reckon tonga or samoa could be them easily. Luckily, a doorstop could out coach Daley.
 
Probably repeating a previous rant, but no room for the reigning CCM medallist and incumbent Aus FB because of form I assume, but Flegler who hasn't been in form for 2-3 years is picked to start. Nikora has also been terrible this year (he was dropped to the bench at the sharks a few weeks back...) and has always had a poor workrate: his speciality is running great lines against horrendous defensive sides at club lvl. Not to mention blokes like Leiro who absolutely don't deserve to be in the side.

Fine and Luki were also seriously dudded.
 
Walsh not in the squad at all according to the CM

I think today's game cost him unfortunately (and our team's performances in general)

Obviously the reffing was atrocious (so hard to watch) but our team/players are in a world of pain at the moment, so I don't think BIlly would want to take Reece as first shot in a big game at the moment.

(Especially when he has so much choice)

18/19 bench spot you would assume, but it sounds like he's going for MAM, and I guess strategically that makes sense (as Hammer/Ponga can already cover FB)

Personally I wanted to see Walsh in there, get a win and get some confidence/winning mojo and bring it back to the team... but doesn't look like the case.
 
Just because Billy walks around with a notebook doesn't mean he is a coach. That Shibasaki call is one of the most cooked things I've ever seen in sport. He should be the first person that plays Origin from Q Cup.
 
Seriously. first the Broncos then this. What a ****ing cooked weekend 🤣
