[Scotty03]

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)

We're trying to get them OUT of a dirty maroons jersey, not keep them in one!

Love Manly much? Geez....

Tom Symonds?

 

[Shorty]

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.

Yeah they are very sneaky like that, it was once upon a time 7:30, then it was 7:45 and it is now 8pm before we see kick off....and they stuff as many commercials in as possible.

It will be closer to 8:15 I bet. They just 'over-paid' (in their opinion) for the rights, I'm betting they'll want to get as many ads in as possible and extend that pre-games as far as they possibly can to make that happen.

Tom Symonds?

Tbh he's not ready. Maybe if he had 2 or 3 more games before origin perhaps I could have considered him. Plus who can you drop? His time will come. Is Brenton Lawrence a NSWelshman? If so, drop Gallen to the bench, drop Lewis, throw in Lawrence and promote Kite to 12. He played backrow quite a bit for Manly, he can handle it.

They paid overs for the cricket so RL fans will have to pay for that too

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Last year they were kicking off around 8:12pm, can't imagine it will be a second before 8:10pm tonight.

 

[Sleep]

Quarter past for sure. It's a joke.

 

[Card Shark]

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.

I'd definitely have had Sutton over Josh Reynolds. As for Adam, he needs another year or 2 in the NRL before playing origin.

Fergo is made for origin.

 

[The.X.Factor9]

No Knights players in the blues team, so we should win. The Knights players only turn up against my team.

Predictions:
- Blues by 4
- FTS: Ferguson
- Crowd: 77k
- Hodges to grab his hamstring at least twice during the match
- Thaiday will run 3rd man in.
- Pearce will put up a bomb at least 7 times during the match
- The refs will make a controversial decision
- During the commentary Gould will unleash his inner closet Maroons, praising everything they do and Wally Lewis will say "imperative"

 

[God-King Dean]

[Noa]

Qld by 12.

Inglis QLd best, Fifita on debut to be NSW best

 

[Grapple]

I think Josh Reynolds will thrive in this atmosphere but hope he doesn't get hurt. Play safe Josh... But play hard!



.....but mainly, play safe.

[I Bleed Maroon]

You know what will be more blue than ANZ Stadium after tonight? All their candy arses after we're done whooping the shit out of them.

You forgot one:

- At some point during the game, one player on either team will dictate terms.
