State of origin 2025

[betcats]

If those dopes at the nrl cant realise no one wants to watch Klein heavily influence who wins origins then i hope the ratings plummet and they f**k off the whole thing. FMD so much build up only to watch the same shit ref ruining a game or two every f**ken year.

 

[betcats]

Also f**k Daley the clueless merkin. Your got a half back who had to fake kick all week because of an injury, f**king dont play him you dope. Nath is the potential goat HB but even I think if he cant kick in game his value to a team plummets

Options if Nathan is out game 3:

6. Burton
7. Luai

6. Luai
7. Hynes

6. Luai
7. Reynolds

Not too flash. I'd take option 3 I guess.

Katoa

Would be interesting to see. Not sure if he is held in that regard yet.

 

[betcats]

They need to get Katoa into the system asap.

Money , Money, Income ,Revenue and PVL gets to rub shoulders with more millionaires.

Player welfare is not considered.

FWIW I turned the "Ashley Clown Hour " off before half time. A bit surprised at the final score.

I was the same. Klein needs to get his own show.

There should be a

It's unbelievable how the rugby league world just allows this happen.

SOO will pay him ~$90k a year.
Panthers pay him $1.2m a year.

It's a dumb risk, for very little reward. And it looks likely to blow up in our faces.

Surely when we have 6 players in the squad, we should be sending some of our own support staff along to keep an eye on things.

Bizza doesn't train at all Mon-Thurs last week. Passes a fitness test Friday, then gets put back on ice for the rest of the campaign. And Cleary can't kick in the captains run.

Yet they still go out there and play 80mins of the highest intensity football of the season? Make it make sense.

There should be a cap and limit per club

Got to be Katoa.

Who ever said make Origin every couple years I like, but NRL want money. Really should be a cap on club players
It's like back in school when you let someone borrow something and it comes back broken, this is the case with Nath and Brian.

 

[Sime_11]

unpopular with NRL but would be good if Origin became a standalone fixture every year - 1 game only

 

[Girds89]

I think it should just be played in the middle of the season. Over 3 weeks. All teams have a 3 week stand down.

Allows some players with injuries to heal up etc and no players missing games like ours this weekend.

We need a miracle this weekend and wed have been a chance of beating the knights if wed been full strength. Bloody hard during origin if your a club like ours that gets 5 or so players in every year.

To'o has a tear in his LCL. Hope he doesn't play. Plus I'm hoping our other boys don't get injured and derail our season..

We have a clone in Alamoti. No matter what happens in Origin we bite the bullet and give To'o a rest.

The others we honestly can't afford to rest right now unfortunately. Cleary/Yeo/Edwards are irreplaceable. Laurie had a better game against NZ but we have no one in the same ballpark as Cleary and Yeo.

Martin doesn't look like he needs a rest. Seems to be doing fine physically. We've also got a few options in the backrow. Once Sorensen returns we can maybe look at Martin.

This is my concern it is like they will play 2 origins in quick timing with the Dogs game being of high class.

 

[maple_69]

Definitely need to rest Biz for a few weeks after Origin, I think we'll be fine with Alamoti, Tago, Milky, McLean all going pretty well. Edwards looked as good physically as he's looked all year against the Dogs so I'm hopeful he's coming out the other side of whatever has been hampering him. Yeo I'm sure we can find a game to rest or just actually bench the guy occasionally to reduce his workload. Cleary is the challenge given we really need to use these next 5 softer games to get some fluency going in attack.

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Agree with Yeo, he's looked more gassed towards the end of games than I've ever seen him look.
