'13 | Origin I | Wed 5 Jun | NSW 14-6 QLD | ANZ

[Grapple]

I hope NSW win, and there's a few fights.... but mostly i'll probably be too tired by the typically dragged out start time here in NZ and proceed to fall asleep at halftime as per usual.

 

[kia ora storm]

I hope Hoffman knocks Slater into tomorrow...

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Geez the banter has been light-on this year.

Is it because that Fourex gimp has gone MIA?

 

[blaza88z]

NSW are favourites, QLD are underdogs

:lol:

might need to invest a few dollars into the account I think

 

[SharkShocked]

Yep what a great price QLD

 

[Card Shark]

NSW are favourites, QLD are underdogs

:lol:

That goes without saying. We are always favourites. More punters in NSW??

 

[Sleep]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Carney/Maloney combination. :shock:

 

[BunniesMan]

Have a bad feeling about tonight. I feel like Queensland will absolutely smash us.

But the thing is a narrow loss would be much worse than a 50 point loss. We'll need to lose by plenty for Laurie to have the balls to make the necessary changes before another year is wasted.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I will be.

 

[jamaman]

The first hit up by Fifita will start an all out brawl!

God damnit, f**k you!

What changes would they be ?

 

[BunniesMan]

What changes would they be ?

Obviously people will put this down to hopeless bias but Sutton is the form five eighth of the comp and Adam Reynolds is twice the player Pearce is. Picking on form or on talent, they should be the halves.

And literally any NSW eligible player in the NRL would be better than Blake Ferguson.

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

:lol:

Adam Reynolds has nothing besides a kicking game inside the opposition 20.

You're right about your halves tbh. They should be there.

Ferguson on the other hand you are totally wrong about. The guy is a freakish talent. Watch him tonight he will carve up.

My issue is with Josh Reynolds selection. I see merit in resting Farah and Reynolds is the sort of guy who can make an impact in a short amount of time but we would simply be better served with an extra big body. Especially in light of QLDs smallish pack.

I still think we'll win.

 

[Liddell]

So based on that, more than Pearce.

 

[ceagle]

f**k QLD

 

[mongoose]

Who, Merritt, everingham? :lol:

 

[Scotty03]

I honestly believe the below side would kick the crap out of the current;

1.Hayne
2.B.Morris
3.Jennings
4.Ferguson
5.M.Gordon
6.J.Reynolds
7.Carney
8.Gallen (c)
9.Farah
10.Grant
11.Lewis
12.Watmough
13.Bird

14.Tamou
15.Merrin
16.Fifita
17.Sutton


Ok, maybe theres a few risks but Pearce and Hoffman? Come on.

Anyway.....LETS GO BLUES!!!!

 

[Tommax25]

Should be:

Stewart
Tafua
Cooper
Ferguson
Wolfy
Buhrer
Pearce
Fifita
Farah
Mannah
Watmough
Gallen
Stewart

Kite
Lewis
Sutton
Rose (would have been King but he's out for the season and need an impact prop)
