I fear Mitchell and Carr will get owned in Origin badly
QLDs backline has temperament, is sleek, fast and very experienced

I can see JAC being decidedly Merritt-esque at Origin level.

High quality NRL player but that's no guarantee of success at Origin level.... He's a bit of a lightweight.

Not sure Tommy Turbo is a winger either, and on form I wouldn't have picked him

Tom played in the WC on the wing I think.

People saying that Fifita has made his choice so let's go with players who want to be there... but how many other players had to choose between playing an international game or origin? Not many I suspect.
I chose to give my alliegance to NSW and freddy still never picked me ... merkin

I think our backline has alot of potential errors in em .... but we need something in attack .... we have tried to tough out SOO for years n failed

Personally i would have picked: 2. Cotric 3. Latrell 4. Turbo 5. Addo-Carr .... but i think its still a good team

I have far more confidence with Freddy in charge ... he might not have been a successful nrl coach but i reckon he is great for SOO .... and now that cam7t6278r is done - kick ass!!!

Agree to an extent, but we cant pick guys not playing as good as the debutants just because they have experience. Surely you don't want Woods, Dugan, Jackson, Ferguson there just for the experience?
Experience in losing?

Fifta would be my pick to be there though if could, QLD would hate it, and on current form the guy is blitzing it and played some big minutes.

Dugan has always stepped up in Origin. I would of picked him. W.Graheme I woukd of found a spot for also.

Cordner isn't doing much

So the Blues are at a feed the homeless thing... I mean really? Is an origin camp the time to teach players that there are more important things in life than footy?

A backline including James Roberts and Latrell Mitchell?

Rainy Plane Boy will have a field day, even at 64 years of age!

Dugan? Steel?

The bloke spends half the game on the ground wincing cos someone hit him too hard ffs. He's the new Matai, but even shitter.
