2 have been cleared in the last couple weeks... Paix wasn't cleared last time we tried... I wonder which way things will go for us this time around

You know the answer to that.
Well I'm not one to usually make team lists in a best case scenario but here goes (just assuming Walsh and Haas only in origin and all the rumoured injured dudes available:
1. Mam
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Anderson
5. Mariner
6. Difference
7. Reynolds
8. Semu
9. Bunt
10. Willison
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan
14. Mozer
15. Francis
16. Junt
17. Bryce
18. Paix
19. Poates

I would assume Carrigan gets picked by Billy if he's fit... Laurie is also a moron and could still pick Staggs to sit on the bench doing nothing for 80mins.

Hey I'm trying to do best case scenario here.
And basically, the sooner we don't need to see Talentless, Tawful, Gosbackwards and Heartless in the side, the better.

This Mam to Fullback talk is...humorous lol You'd better hope he flops like Tedesco before the defenders get to him, or he's being dragged backwards 15 metres.

Willson looked pretty cooked even though the hit wasn't that bad. Be surprised if we get him passed to play..

only Arthars would get hammered that badly on a kick return.

Can't we just declare him unfit. Surely he needs to prove his fitness before an origin match
Anyone can apply; you need to show no symptoms for days afterwards and be examined by an independent neurosurgeon.
Cat two helps him, failing his HIA doesn't- he will need to show no signs of concussion all week- Paix was cat one and still showing signs and couldn't get it passed.

Billy picked Walsh for all 3 origins in 2024 and I don't think he played an NRL game between them... might've played 1 game before game 3.

“It was a bit of a monkey off the back,” Walters said.
“I got over early, it gave me a lot of confidence.
“It was pretty cool scoring there with a lot of friends, family and Broncos teammates here. I’m glad I had something to show them.”
Walters admitted he is ready if Maguire calls on him for Brisbane’s clash against Cronulla next week, but is equally happy to continue building match fitness if required.
“I suppose that’s a chat to have with Madge,” he said.
“If he needs me or wants me in there, I’ll gladly put my hand up.
“But I’m also happy building my game down here if that’s what he thinks is best. We’ll just take it week by week.”

Semu got through 38 minutes in his comeback. He was solid but breathing.
Coates was average again. Something is up there. He's gone from 10 tries in his first seven games to four minutes against PNG and now not scoring in three games and barely running the ball yesterday.
Francis- was off too, like all the Bears in the second half, his fewest minutes in his four games and missed a lot of tackles.
Walters- no strapping, ran well, didn't look under any discomfort and scored a determine try playing half on the right but came over to the left and just moved wherever he wanted played about 60 minutes.
Verhoeven and Bukowski won't even be considered based on today. Verhoeven replaced just after HT and didn't come back.

He actually didn’t look too bad there when he filled in a few weeks ago. Don’t know how I feel about him there for a full game though.
