DCE for Game III?

[tommy]

I'm on the Cherry wagon, not that it seems much of a wagon. I think Morgan is best served staying as our bench utility. i don't see him as a 5/8 and haven't for a long time... he is serviceable and can do the job but I don't think it comes naturally to him. Saturday against the Panthers he looked like he was going through the motions, shovelling the ball around.. he's much better just going at the line. Likewise with Munster, if we didn't need a left centre for the game I'd be on his wagon but fact is he is a great fit to do the job at centre, and a million time better option than anything else on offer. For me just through elimination it leaves Cherry as best option. Don't give a **** that he speaks well and makes people uncomfortable, or has upset peoples moral code by backflipping on the Titans (within the rules that existed at that time). His form is great, kicking great, control great, defends well, runs well, passes well..... but oooh... he doesn't talk like a cliche knob... he backflipped to get a better deal for himself.... **** sake get a grip people... he's vying for Qld 5/8, not Prime minister..... He's the best fit for whats needed... definitely this game... 2018 is another matter.

Sorry but I don't think he's the best fit for what's needed if none of the other players like him. Of course I don't know who likes him or not but where there is smoke there is usually fire . I don't think people actually have a problem with how he speaks, they have a problem that he comes across as fake. He didn't just backflip on the Titans, he fucked them in the ass with no lube and didn't even buy them flowers, this and what he did in '14, insisting that he was right to play when blind Freddy could see he wasn't tells me he is a very selfish person.

I don't really give a **** who he screwed over to get his cash. It happens all the time in every sport.

If he is the best option then pick him - this bullshit about "oh he's not a qlder to dog another team like that" is exactly that - bullshit.

Who the **** cares he screwed over the titans? Pretty much everyone on here hates them anyway.

I'm pretty certain being from Mackay, North Qld, DCE would "get" origin.

PS - we give players shit because they can't string two words together, and now we're giving one shit because he is articulate. league truly is the game where you aren't a true fan unless you're bringing down at least one aspect of it.

Lol, this so much. Other reasons people are giving, yeah ok....but this one? **** the Titans

Mental note: Remember flowers for Tom.....

are you serious... this isn't junior footy where we all play and have a good time after together.... who gives a **** if you don't like someone... play the game.... Apparently Parker was a ****, but he still played for qld and got a job done... your playing footy, not marrying the fucker.

Maybe, but there must be something seriously off-putting about the bloke for Mbye to be higher up the pecking order than him. Especially seeing as he has actually been playing good footy.

lol @ mbye being above anyone.

I have given my objective reasons why he shouldn't be an option, but even if none were valid, **** him and his fake intellect, **** him and his lack of ethics, **** him and his selfish attitude on and off the field, **** him and his giraffe neck with a head on top that should only serve as a piñata.

It doesn't matter it's the Tits he fucked over, it's how he did it. I don't abide by the win at all costs mentality, and don't want to see a person of such disgraceful character wear the proud maroons jersey.

Fortunately there are plenty of people in camp maroon who think that way, and can't stand the idea of having him around...

 

[Unbreakable]

Is my profanity filter being forced on, or are people literally speaking in ****'s?

At this level there is no such thing as an honourable loss. No one is going to say, yeah we lost and we lost the series, but at least DCE didn't play and that was more important than any result.

I don't think we'll lose the series for not picking him, but if that was the case, it would absolutely soften the blow for me.

I won't stop supporting Qld for it, but I would vomit a little in my mouth while celebrating a win with him there, and be fucking ropeable if we lost.

He doesn't have the mettle or attitude for Origin, where you bleed for your mates, and none of the others would do it for him either.

 

[Renegade]

well, if that was the case you'd have to consider whether you're really a qld supporter or not.

seriously, if your hate for one player would determine your level of misery (if they lost) or happiness (if they won) ... maybe team sports aren't for you?

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Fancy any of us here talking about having the mettle for Origin. I like pretending to know what I'm talking about when it comes to football as much as the next person, but it's time for a reality check when you start making judgment calls on something as nebulous as mettle.

Don't turn this into hate for a player. It's about character.

It's all about how far one is willing to go, and I won't betray my principles for a win.
If you're willing to do that, power to you, but don't for a second think that makes you better suited for team sports than me.

Instead you should consider whether you understand the concept of sportsmanship, and question yourself how far exactly you would go.

 

[Renegade]

I play the whistle in any team sport - take that for what you will.

But I wouldn't support a rep team any more or less based on a players selection, which is what you've said in your own words - that's more my question of whether you should consider your allegiances. If a single player is enough to muddy the mental waters so to speak, then the water was never very clear imo.

This is not a forum for RL experts. It's a forum for fans to express their opinions. Look the word up...

Feel free to agree or disagree and express your own thoughts on the topics, but refrain from telling anyone what they can or cannot opine about.

A good comparison would be Michael Clarke - all the talent in the world, still a giant knob. Damages the perception of unity in a team.

And yet they picked him because he was a winner.

I'm saying you look silly by talking about toughness and mettle.

Feel free to take offence, but don't pretend that I'm telling anyone what they can and can't say.

 

[holdzy]

Both would be excellent politicians.

Remains to be seen if DCE will be selected - I don't like the beady eyed long neck but I'll support the team any way it goes.
