Get f**ked. Ponga better not get hurt he’s got a real team to play for on Saturday night.

Better NSW sides have lost to worse Qld sides on paper.

All it takes is a few injuries a few 50/50 calls and a few players that do and don't make the step up.

perhaps he feels he wasn't up to it. or perhaps he wasn't asked at all. 'apparently' carries just as much of an assumption

"Apparently" was my wording, they reported it as fact.

I still take it with a grain of salt though. They didn't report sources or quotes. Which generally means its second hand info at best.

If Qld get a better than even share of possession and the forwards really aim up, we could be in bother.

Just read in the tele that Cordner said this about Cleary:
"He shows all the qualities to be a great Origin player like Cronk, Thurston and Mitchell Pearce."
Load up on the maroons-the blues captain isn't just incapable of breaking the line, the massive foreheaded mong has no brain.

Thankfully he didn't add Boyd Cordner to that list.

Poor Queensland. Everything is going wrong for the poor dears.

 

[Sime_11]

Qld siege mentality in full swing = fully expect them to come out on top tomorrow night.....

if NSW win though - everyone comes out of retirement for one last huzzah to send Slater (& Smith) as winners....

QLDer logic:

If NSW beat QLD it'll be because of an injury crisis.

If QLD beat NSW it'll be because they have more passion

And yet the only ones mentioning passion around here are Blues fans.

Obsession.

Queensland playing media games at an industrial scale.

Will be a cracker of a game.

Incompetent referees always make for good watching.

The Maroons can still win they have a good side

The betting on this is just getting stupid now. Qld $3 NSW $1.40

I’d be loading up on that $3 were I not a blues fan. No way the Blues are a $1.40 chance. Some of the new selections look good on paper but could go either way. Some of the backs are not exactly known for their defence.

You’ll see a shift before game day.

With gagai potentially our also it would mean the final QLD side won’t be known to the general public until game day.

This will likely see odds settle to a more even field.
