General State of Origin Discussion

[McHunt]

Is Origin even on this year? Can never recall there being this little interest.

Wait until Folau gets picked at #4, that'll get some attention

Fox Sports have been trying to drive up interest unfortunately they have so many NSWRL people on board that it's just endless NSW team lists... Kunt's, Matty's, Fletch and Hindy's (I assume don't watch any of the Matt Johns shows), Carrol's, Toovey's, Elias', Laurie's,...... I've only seen one QLD list so far which was Ikin's.

I'm wondering if Fox realise the bias they currently have... probably not or they dont really care anyway... NSWRL is the heart of rugba leeegue afterall

I guess they dont realise that their obsession with Sydney and token plugging of GC will actually lead to ending of the NRL.... but I'm not here to tell them that as it is only speeding up an eventual take over by super league

If TPJ isn't in the Blues this year for Origin Fittler is an idiot.

you as well as anyone from this club knows TPJ deserves a spot somewhere.

He sure does but I also hope Freddy has his NSW head stuck up his arse and doesn't pick him.

 

[Sproj]

I’m so conflicted. I love that it’s a list but I hate that it’s NSW. I care about the list but don’t care about the team.

Sounds like reed Mahoney will probably start at 9

You would think so with Harry likely to be missing through injury.

I think Reed would've been starting 9 anyway and Harry on the bench as impact.

Likely Bhunt takes the bench spot now if Harry is missing

or AJ possibly?

 

[BroncsFan]

I'm hoping it's BHunt, because we play dragons in Rd 13.... would be handy if they were without Bhunt on top of Dufty, Moose, etc.

 

[Fernando]

I think we are screwed for game 1

 

[DanG]

well updated looks by the sounds of things, could see them running with

1. Brimson
2. Coates
3. Gagai
4. Capewell
5. Holmes
6. Ponga
7. DCE
8. Welch
9. Mahoney
10. Tino
11. Kaafusi
12. Fifita
13. Arrow

14. Hunt
15. Su'a
16. Fotuatika
17. Molo/Wallace/ Napa/ Hess/ Horsbrough? who knows

 

[Mustafur]

Lockyer put Flegler in his bench, god help us lmao.

 

[Fernando]

All Origin articles are pushing the idea that the Blues are in crisis while QLD has Ponga, Munster, Grant on the sidelines with injury and Papalii and Collins already out

They're running scared after last year...

But don't worry, the Blues will belt us in Game 1 and they'll be up on their high horse again, ripe for the taking.

Reece Walsh to Partner DCE in the halves!
