    The casino will need an 'All You Can Eat' buffet to keep up with Fatrell.

    QLD Maroons 2024

    I can't wait for Kalyn to resume playing in a QLD jersey. Game 3 in Brisbane piles the pressure on the Blues to shut QLD out with victories in both G1 and 2. One slip up where the Blues buckle under the pressure will set up a nightmare decider at Suncorp. A first time Origin coach will be PR...

    QLD Maroons 2024

    Gilbert we will miss. Hess should only ever be present for an Origin game as a spectator.

    QLD Maroons 2024

    Matt played QLD dummy half in Smith's stead for one game in 2010. Without checking, by memory I think it was Game 1 in Sydney. QLD won. That 2010 series was our most recent 3 game clean sweep.

    Tree hugger on an Odyssey? Forest psychiatrist? Chimp for all seasons?

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    I didn't mind Tamou because he had all the impact of a powder puff and played for the Blues. As soon as anyone laid a hand on him he dived for the turf. Great asset for QLD.

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    Play for Italy. Play for Lebanon. Play for USA. No problem. Play for Samoa. Hayne, Minicello, Moses played for these minnows and qualified for Origin. I never had a problem with that. Not NZ. Not UK. NZ and UK don't need assisting. So Origin isn't a magic bullet which fixes a problem those...

    If we leave things where they are now, for all time, I have no complaint.

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    Once and for all it needs to be enshrined that the beating heart of State Of Origin rugby league is the rivalry between QLD and NSW. This is the core reason for the existence and concept of State Of Origin. The unrivalled popularity of the series is anchored in this combat. At its essence...

    2024 State Of Origin series Game 3 at Suncorp. We can't wait. Oh yeah. The Trophy gets raised on Home turf.

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    Look at the one sided view presented here: www.nrl.com/news/2021/03/29/why-letting-taumalolo-play-origin-could-boost-international Take note of the date. March 2021. Lots of talk about ' taking a burden off the players' 'unfair to New Zealand' 'boost international football' Not much about the...

    One more thing: Why is there so little discussion on the topic via Youtube Fox Sports Freddy and the Eighth.

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    What should be stated is that this is not a proposal. This is an agenda. Call out the predetermined nature of the agenda. Expose the sneaky tactics and force Pearce and Vlandys, the agenda makers away from being final determiners. If anything broaden who gets to contribute to being recognised...

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    The exemptions for the small lower tier national players was done in an effort to invigorate international rugby league. That's all. The intent of the allowance that players could play for Lebanon and still play Origin for instance only effects a tiny group of players. Once the allowance is...

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    Is this the first time Wayne Pearce has brought forward this matter? Or has this been put to bed? We can't keep getting this worn out bad idea trotted out every year. If it has been officially proposed and rejected previously that must be respected. If it hasn't been quashed previously it must...

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    Technically with the Pearce/Vlandys proposal the entire NSW and QLD squads could be composed of players ineligible to play for Australia who have pledged to play for UK and NZ. Farce Of Origin Series

    Again? ARL Origin eligibility rules.

    So don't add to the dilution of the concept. It was brought in mainly for RL World Cup purposes. NZ and UK have multiple first grade players in the broad Aussie and English premiership competitions to select from. Not so much the tiny island nations. What we need to understand is that Origin...
