Coming soon.

Luai seems like a such a complete ******* bell end.

As a Queenslander I hope NSW pick him every year.

 

[Gigantic]

Will be a good thing if he cops a week or two - Hynes should be the 5/8 without a doubt.

At this point, Hynes and Campbell Graham are must picks. I can't see how you can overlook them.

NSW pick teddy or Edwards?

On form it’s a no brainer but Teddy has been so good for so long feels hard to leave him out

They’re not dropping the captain because of form.

Hes gonna get dropped at some point because someone has overtaken him or father time has caught up with him.

Doesnt seem a ridiculous question at this point in time given Edwards is clearly outperforming him at club level.

As good as Hynes is there’s a danger he won’t work with Cleary. He’s a halfback for starters. Graham will be picked whether it be centre or wing.

If they were to move it surely is for Mitchell anyway.

Would have thought Mitchell plays in the centres as per usual.

Either way it seems perhaps the convo about some going past Teddy isnt a ridiculous one.

Guess it depends how you rate the centres coming through. Mitchell can play either but after Teddy I’d play him at FB

 

[phantom13]

Teddy been unbelievable tonight, keeps the 1 off this for sure now

 

[balmainforever]

Api might join him as the starting hooker after his performance against the cowgirls tonight.

 

[sosos]

Bit surprised Freddie kept the job after Billy destroyed him last year.

 

[GC2015]

Wasn't sure where to put this so I apologise if it's in the wrong thread.

What's the deal with this push to allow players who spent minimal time in QLD or NSW to play SoO? It seems like people just want the best RL players competing and don't really care that it essentially defeats the whole purpose of SoO. At a certain point it goes from being an SoO game to being an All Star game and then you have players donning the jersey that aren't as passionate about it because they identify somewhere else as home and it hurts the game. The NRL needs to be really careful because they could potentially do irreparable damage to their showpiece event.

Hard to pick a winner in game one, so maybe QLD by 2.

 

[Allezjuel]

Stoked with the NSW backline, altough would be swapping Hynes for Luai. It's the same 1-7 that put on a combined scoreline of 76-6 in games 1 and 2 in 2021; think having Turbo and Latrell back this year will make a big difference.

 

[eddiesmith]

QLD 2-1 with NSW winning the dead rubber after Fittler gives up on his failed team.

 

[Jatz]

God I hate Freddy. 1 good performance from Teddy and Turbo all season and they're straight back in.

Beyond stupid selections that I hope bite him on the arse again.

Klein Ref for Origin 1

Klein Ref for Origin 1

Yuck.

 

[moto748]

It's weird. Obviously the authorities all agree Klein is the lead ref right now, he gets the big games.

And yet somehow, all you guys know better.
