    Shoutout to Kevin Walters

    Sacking Kevin Walters after one series loss would be stupid in my opinion. The roster is at it's end of its tenure. Gordon Tallis suggest it's Wayne Bennett causing mischief wanting the job back. I remembered it differently that Queensland asked Paul Green to be coach, and Bennett suggested in...

    Paul Carter sacked

    Mitchell Pearce is not really fair considering some of his critics say he is a good club man but not worthy of state of origin selection. Whatever you think of Pearce in terms of NSW selection, you could hardly call him a scrub barely able to stay in first grade. Daniel Mortimer on other hand...

    Will Queensland ever win another Origin series?

    Gus Gould takes aim at Queensland forwards suggests the cupboards are bare particularly in the front row suggesting the future looks bleak. I think its nothing new for Queensland the depth in the forwards has struggled at times to match NSW. These things go in stages. The dominance of NSW from...

    Paul Carter sacked

    Roosters have let Paul Cater go, it's been understood they haven't been happy with his commitment to training but there could be more to it. "Paul Carter's immediate NRL career is in major doubt, with the Sydney Roosters becoming the third club in four years to release the utility forward...

    Rumoured Signings

    Teams who have already merged are likely off limits being forced into another merger and so they should be. In terms of marketing it would be disaster. Fans who have faced one merger to endure another would walk.

    Qld changes for game 2

    Former Queensland greats go BOLD, call for Billy Slater and Valentine Holmes to play and have only two forwards on the bench. Despite Cory Oates form they have also moved him to the bench as a utility. It's a risky selection there is more in the link. 1 Billy Slater 2 Darius Boyd 3 Will...

    Ben Hunt

    Wow. Ben Hunt has been dropped for the clash against Souths. What has gone quietly unnoticed is that the Broncos went on a successful winning streak without Hunt. Milford has also looked better also without Hunt in the line up when he has been partnered in the halves with Kodi Nikorima. I know...

    QLD Team 2017

    I agree Valantine Holmes should have been in the orignal team, but Corey Oates played well enough to keep his spot. Oates and Dane Gagai on the wings stood tall when other parts of Queensland's game struggled particularly in the forwards. It will be either Oates/Boyd on the wings or...

    Andrew Fifita compared to Arthur Beetson

    What about the Bulldogs? Remember Fifita was going to sign there, but spilled the beans about his regret leaving the Sharks and suggested he would like to play rugby. Bulldogs pulled the offer, and Sharks improved their bargaining position by giving him a lower offer. I think that was how the...

    Andrew Fifita compared to Arthur Beetson

    Clips shows Beetson tackling prowess, but doesn't show much of his attack that he gets herald for in his career. Also people have to remember that Beetson like Fifita had his criticisms about him as player during his career. He put on weight in midst of his career with some whispers about his...

    Andrew Fifita compared to Arthur Beetson

    I'm pretty sure that was a comment made by Bob Fulton in the papers. It was hardly a consensus of commentators that agreed with that. Greg Bird at that stage of his career was considered a part time five-eighth, and a natural secound row enforcer which is what he remained. No one seriously...

    Andrew Fifita compared to Arthur Beetson

    Andrew Fifita compared to Arthur Beetson is a big call considering Beetson is an immortal. Fifita has suggested that Beetson was before his time so he never got to saw him play. I didn't either, 1980 state of origin doesn't really count Beetson was in his twilight years then. It should be noted...

    QLD Team 2017

    Andrew Johns suggests Queensland needs to make wholesale changes, just sitting on their hands and being patient won't be enough. 4. QUEENSLAND MUST RESPOND Legend Andrew Johns has called for Queensland to make immediate amends. “I thought it showed just the young legs in the (NSW) team,”...

    Bulldog Will Hopoate will not play rugby league on Sundays for religious reasons

    Will Hopoate resigns with Bulldogs and will play on Sundays. "HOPOATE RE-SIGNS WITH CANTERBURY Another re-signing, this time Will Hopoate. Must be a nice day for it. Hopoate will stay with Canterbury until the end of the 2020 and the club has confirmed he will be avaliable for Sunday games...

    NSW Team 2017

    Gus Gould it made an interesting point he seemed to think NSW has the biggest edge over Queensland in the bench. He suggested NSW had 'game turners' on the bench but he couldn't see that in Queensland only players who could exploit Queensland's advantage when things were going well. Gould is a...

    If NSW lose this years series should Laurie Daley be sacked?

    The talk of whether Laurie Daley should be sacked may become irrelevant. There is talk that even if NSW wins the series Daley will leave because he wants to focus his career on club coaching. I've heard talk Brad Fittler is interested in the position. Either way Daley probably wont be coaching...

    What gives? Sportstab suspend State Of Origin Betting

    Interesting fact this is the first state of origin since Andrew Johns and blues won game 3 of origin in 2005 that NSW are odds on favorites in a state of origin playing at Suncorp Stadium. The loss of players for Queensland players in key positions and the aging the forward pack (Myles...

    Origin in Townsville - Game 3 in NSW a "Financial disaster"

    Its a lame comment. People have short memories pre-2014 where tickets would be sold out from Queensland fans in a couple of hours whether it was one or two games. QRL then jacked up the prices in 2014 in such a opportunistic and money grab way that people were burnt by the mere opportunism of...
