2014 Origin: Game 2

[Ron Jeremy]

I don't trust Daley as a coach, never have never will

 

[T.S Quint]

daley seems to have a man crush on dugan and looks for whatever reasons he can find to justify his selection. dugan did well to be in the right place to score three tries against sharks but put into perspective, it is the current sharks which, until they get a big chunk of their good players back, are pretty ordinary.

i would have picked hopoate at centre and pat richards on the wing.

Mansour on the wing for mine.

 

[Parra Pride]

Hayne will chime in and cut Bogan out, Hoppa in the corner.

Not quite, Hayne will cut Bogan out, then Hoppa will show his class with some beautiful little pass back inside that sends the Bogan in.

 

[TheParraboy]

Dugan will go alright at centre, him and Jenko will cause them no end of grief if they get early ball. Defensively Dugan will go alright, he is a FB that reads attacking plays real well, no dramas him at centre.

I think Hoppas old man was right, his son isn't quite ready for origin, and I agree. Hoppa is our weakness

I would have gone Dugan at centre and Mansour or Richards 5

 

[hineyrulz]

Jed Bogan the most overrated player in RL.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Jed Bogan the most overrated player in RL.

Nah mate. He is just the most maligned. Big difference.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Jed's a pretty good player, not sure that many people over-rate him. Not saying I'd pick him at centre or wing in SoO (but as I said on Sat Night.....Lozza's gonna pick him now). He is a also bit of dick, but he has been the main victim of his own dickness.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Jed Bogan the most overrated player in RL.

I don't see how he can be overrated if most people don't rate him.

He was probably overrated back before people knew he was a c**k. Since getting sacked by Canberra he's friendless.

 

[The Colonel]

Not sure how one good game at centre against the Sharks gets you selected for Origin. He is f**king ordinary and has been for most of the season. Even Benchy looked good against the Sharks. Hopoate should have been selected in the centres with either Mansour or Taufua outside him.

Coz Lozza decided on Sat that he wanted to pick players with Origin experience.....you could see him setting up the excuse for picking Doogs a few hours earlier on Sat arvo when interviewed.

 

[Twizzle]

Obviously picked on last years form

Dragons pack has been ordinary, and we know how that effects the outside backs

Defensively has been brilliant couldn't have done any more, with a bit of ball has been able to sniff out a try. He will go good

Im actually worried about Hoppa

 

[Noise]

Stop stressing you panicky merkins. Hayne is fullback. All will be fine:thumb

 

[Twizzle]

We'll probably find that Hoppa and Duges will swap around anyway at various times of the game.

 

[lingard]

Dugan plays well against a team that if we put together a team of members from this parra forum would beat, and gets selected at centre.

Please at least swap Hoppa and Dugan around come the start of the game.

Can I play five-eight? I'll play just like they did back in the fifties.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nah mate. He is just the most maligned. Big difference.

He's been picked in origin on the back of two game's in the centres one against NSW Cup quality and the other were he was terrible. If thats not overrated i don't know what is. He's a good player but hardly worth the wankfest that goes on about him. He should be nowhere near origin.

 

[Joely01]

Can I play five-eight? I'll play just like they did back in the fifties.

Left or right half?

 

[Eelpout]

Could we see them change positions when attacking?

 

[hindy111]

Dugan is class.The game against us he was by far the dragons best.
Hoppa cant tackle.No strength in upper body.Needs the season.BA even was saying the same thing

 

[yy_cheng]

what will be good to see is that ingles at centre runs all over Dugan and scores a hat trick

they then put hayne at center and dugan back to fullback. then Dugan goes on and scores a hattrick
