Fulton by goooooone

 

[Clifferd]

Who cares

 

[Someone]

zzzzzzzzzz

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

NSW. All eyes are on clubland now and QLD have nothing to play for

 

[some11]

Origin is dead.

 

[snoozer]

i'm keen to see what sort of wankery daley serves up.

if jennings gets picked i'll know it's gee up.

 

[Spot On]

Daley needs to make at least 5 changes. Surely G. Bird, Farah, Tamou, Fergo and Jennings have played their last Origin.

 

[Charlie124]

NSW probably, who cares really? QLD shouldve been able to lift the shield in front of our home crowd a couple of weeks ago.

 

[snoozer]

Daley needs to make at least 5 changes. Surely G. Bird, Farah, Tamou, Fergo and Jennings have played their last Origin.

i'm iffy on bird(like gal - one more game) but the rest can f**K right off now.

 

[Spot On]

I just can't see any reason Bird should be there any more. None.

 

[Leber]

Scrap this game and play a test match

 

[McLovin]

Stuff this game... Would rather not lose 4 or 5 of our best players to a dead rubber and potentially snap a 12 game win streak tbh...

 

[Clifferd]

Apparently gonna be

Ins: Tedesco, Graham, Dugan
Outs: Moylan, Walker, Greg Bird

Only 1 game late lol

 

[TheFrog]

If you are going to swing the axe for a dead rubber, swing it hard. Jennings, Ferguson, Tamou, Farah were all liabilities in game 2, moreso every one of them than Moylan, who at least attempted to do what he was chosen to do. Woods somehow keeps getting picked, despite better options being available elsewhere. Gallen can only have made the side for sentimental reasons. Queensland won't be rejoicing that Tedesco has made the side, but they'll be wetting themselves with excitement over the remainder.

The question now becomes, will Tedesco see enough ball to make a difference?

 

[T.T]

great changes.

Some dead wood in Moylan, Bird, Walker gone.. Bord Cordner also out

 

[snoozer]

jennings still there.

wtf daley?!

you had one job....

 

[Captain Apollo]

Cordner also out

He's still out injured from the problem he picked up in Origin 1.

[McLovin]

He did ok cutting off some of the dead wood... But, it's not enough. The longer he persists with softcocks/plodders like Woods, Tamou, Farah, Jennings, the longer NSW will have to wait...

 

[GongPanther]

Thank god this meaningless speed bump is nearly over.

For what it's worth,and to think this seriously is for the lolz,N.S.W. to lose by 34.
