2019 Origin Game 1 thread

[Twizzle]

so Kent doesn't like Fergo now that he plays for Eels

gee there's a surprise

If Turbo Tom was fit he gets a spot.
Carr I dont rate but he hasnt done much wrong so gets one.

I am a big Cotric fan and he would be my winger with Fergo if Tom wasnt fit.

I just don’t get the Nathan Cleary love. He looks like a virgin at a toga party.

But he broke the game open last night with a magnificent solo try. Beat us on his own.

Good on him for being Johnny on the spot for that try. He is not an origin half. Does not create plays for his team. Yes he can defend. Yes he can find the grass with his kicks. That’s it.

Jack Wighton?

WTF am I the only one who see's nothing in him?

Commentators wet themselves over him and I don't see why.

Eels are getting harder to spot that a platypus.

How does Crichton get a gig over Sims? He’s a solid first grader and nothing more. Sims is a gun in both attack and defence.

Tough as nails.

Teddy plays off halves. I can see Walker having a stinker and Cleary plodding along and NSW not being very creative.
Qld have Ponga,Munster,Morgan and DCE. I think if their forwards c an atleast compete they'll win.

Just out of interest, I looked at the list of all Origin players since its inception. The last person to debut in Origin while playing with us was Tim Mannah, back in 2010.

Any other sides without an origin player.
