2014 Origin - Game 1

[Sphagnum]

Daniel tupou will get pushed back 10m every time he scoots.

Weak as piss.

Good jumper though. Watch Failey and the halves not have a plan to exploit that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

only 2 props

Just like QLD. It's becoming a bit of a theme.

Don't understand the love for Luke Lewis - just came back from a longgggg lay off - needs time to get back into match fitness and game speed. Would have preferred Josh Jackson.

Big game player, will no doubt step up.

Deserves it.

 

[Craig Johnston]

Hodgkinson will get owned.

by a lymphoma?

 

[Twizzle]

Lewis has enough credits in the bank to get a run, he will never let the Bloos down

 

[parra-matters]

i have no problem with lewis on the bench. too many back rowers like Qld.
Shame Fifita is injured.
At least people who complained for years that NSW picked on form can't complain as much, the spine are all in great form at club level.

This Team looks good on paper but no match for the QLD spine + Inglis.

The SOO has been a focus for me for the last few years as Parra were Piss Poor.

But now I don't give a toss. In fact I might actually go to my daughter's violin recital.

My focus is now on the Eels vs Dogs match that appears to be scheduled on the eve of SOOII.

Am I correct in saying that SOO players will sit out of this match?

Yes.

 

[T.S Quint]

Pearce is a better player than Hodkinson and Reynolds.
And he has failed every time. These guys will do no better (Reynolds did f**k all last year).

Mullen is the best half NSW has and never gets a look in. Sutton would also go better in Origin than the Dogs halves.

Hoffman and Williams getting picked is ridiculous.

This team is shithouse.

 

[Noise]

They (the halves) just need to ensure Hayne gets lots of ball just like in game 1 last year.

 

[eel01s]

I don't get the Hoffman love either. Has he ever done anything at rep level?

Also agree with the above comments on Tupou. If the plan isn't to cross kick to his wing on most sets, what is he in the team for? Hopefully the NSW attack isn't that one-dimensional.

 

[Noise]

I'm most concered about our edge forwards. Scott and Hoffman do not offer much in attack in terms of busting the line.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I wish Parra had players like Tupou, Hodkinson, and Gallen.

 

[Eelogical]

As good a team as NSW can put on the field, though I am disappointed by the inclusion of Williams. I still think we will get hammered in game 1 though.

didnt you see him rip straight up the middle of us and score a 80m try in round 6?

reynolds didnt play a single minute you goose.

 

[Haynzy]

We've beaten them three years straight in the under 20s so hopefully that portends a change in the fortunes of the senior teams.

Most of those kids will be queenslanders by the time they're ready for Big Boy Origin.

Well Mr T.S Quint was sort of right then.

Suity

 

[Maroubra Eel]

lol true.
