Bet keary wishes he stuck to his guns instead of becoming a turncoat.
Once you go blue, you never go back. We won't have them.

Someone from the qld team should send him a qld jersey with the name at the back “YOU WISH”Once you go blue, you never go back. We won't have them.
I'm not sold on the Walker selection.The Walker selection is an admission from the selectors that they got it wrong in the first game. They wanted Walker in the team, but just couldn't bring themselves to pick him after all Keary had achieved in the past couple of years. Had the series taken place mid-season, it would have been the right choice, but after the Roosters last three efforts it was clear that Walker was the better candidate. It will be interesting to see how Walker plays. He's shown he can come on and look likely when he doesn't have the pressure of building a game, but last year he really struggled to make an impact to the point where Fittler spectacularly dragged him off the field mid-way through the game. With this squad and the style they play, I honestly wonder if they'd be better off picking Wighton there and picking Crichton in the centres.
Nsw will forever whinge about GI ....hopefully we take this series and they can whinge about keary being a qlderBet keary wishes he stuck to his guns instead of becoming a turncoat.
Maybe keary was making the ultimate sacrifice in running a covert QLD operation by pretending to be a blue.Nsw will forever whinge about GI ....hopefully we take this series and they can whinge about keary being a qlder
I thought he might've been a more ready made replacement for Welch compared to Lui, if they wanted to go like for like.This lack of Carrigan in this side is disturbing.
It's actually ridiculous that he isn't even in the 21. Really mind boggling considering hess has even got a run.This lack of Carrigan in this side is disturbing.

Yes Lui Has had a good year but put him in the Broncos team this year and he doesn't come out looking anywhere near as good as carrigan. Plus carrigan is deadset made for origin, arrow fixing up the middle when he came on and the past 40 years have shown the players who are hard workers with 1%s, defence and tough hit ups are needed far more then anyone in your pack.
35mins off the bench? He’d be pretty damn good, he was playing wayyyyyyy to many minutes this year.Carrigan has a penalty or three in him and gets a little lazy when tired, he isn’t ready for origin yet, sorry Wolfie.

I dont agree he gets lazy. Its more he plays too much under fatigue. He never actually stops looking for work and probably tries to do too much. I wouldnt call it laziness. He is built for Origin imo, and i dont think Wayne would flog him into the ground like we have.
I dont really look at stats as i think they are mostly a load of rubbish, but it would be interesting to see how many penalties per game he gives away because i cant recall anything out of the ordinary with him there.
Yeah lazy was wrong, he understandably gets fatigued. If more players fall over, he’ll get in but I’m not unhappy at all not to see him in there. His time will come.
Getting paid $100k for 3 weeks work is probably how he went through with it (less now that he’s been dropped)Someone from the qld team should send him a qld jersey with the name at the back “YOU WISH”
I still don’t know how he went through with it.
Just on Arrow; I thought he was fantastic in Game I. He finished the year with the Titans playing nothing more than OK football, just seemed a little like his head wasn’t truly in it. But he really stepped up and provided great input and balance to an otherwise inexperienced (forwards at least) bench.I thought he might've been a more ready made replacement for Welch compared to Lui, if they wanted to go like for like.
I think Lui will bring energy if he starts, but how long can he go in origin...
Arrow probably the most likely to perform in the same way as Welch, but I can understand wanting to have a bit of experience to bring off the bench instead of leaving it to two rookies
