The cost of 1 Isaako.
yep ... we got ourselves a bargain
The cost of 1 Isaako.
That kick..
What?In case Walsh needed any more motivation to keep up the types of performances he put up on Friday night ... Ponga is giving it to him.
What?
the QLD full back jersey will be Walsh's for the taking ... especially if Ponga can't manage to get through a game without a HIA
HIA might not even be a factor if Walsh keeps playing like he did for us. I don't know how teams defend that, you'd need your centre/winger to be very quick themselves.
We have to play Warriors in rd 13 in NZ... so if we have Walsh available that would help.The fact that QLD are very big on loyalty and giving the incumbents first crack the following year (especially after a series win) could work against Walsh if Ponga strings some games together
Selfishly, I don’t want Walsh to play Origin yet. I’m sure there will be someone to fill that spot it Pings keeps getting his head banged every game.HIA might not even be a factor if Walsh keeps playing like he did for us.

Also ... of course we would have to play the non-origin team in origin week and away from home... yeah I'm sure that is a total coincidence
I'm absolutely convinced Cameron Smith threw origin 1 when Walters didn't pick Slater.Walsh won't get picked bcos of loyalty... but Oates won't get picked bcos of..... dearden will get picked over mam bcos of loyalty too. Flegler will start getting picked regulalrly for a spot he's deserved for years once he goes to the dolphins. Carrigan will go back to the bench bcos ummm impact/best for team
I love origin, but I'm over it big time the last few years. Storm players run it and you'd have to be an absolute fool to think they haven't spent their whole careers despising the broncos, and an even bigger fool to think it doesn't have an impact on who they pick. Subconsciously or consciously, take your pick..
