Can't snap a clean one off, eh?

Edit/ already mentioned

 

[Gazzamatta]

Shhh. Gutherson may want a massive upgrade on this news.

I wonder if a "19th man" selection will be sufficent to initiate Guthos SOO selection bonus? Bang goes the salary cap.

 

[Incorrect]

I wish the darker blue was our normal /default strip. I hate the light powder blue....

Go the sky blues !

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this has been done before?
I'm not a fan, I prefer the traditional sky blue.

Think it was the faux NSW team in the Super Leauge war.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

An alternate strip in a three game series. Odd and an excuse to flog more jerseys to fans.

 

[TheParraboy]

The sky blue needs to be without the double V, don't know why they persist with it

Im not a fan of the navy blue

Like if the eels went from canary yellow to dark tangerine

 

[Snoochies]

Go the sky blues !

Does Batchy order new wigs now? I think he saw this coming and decided on a colour right in the middle.

Axed Blues centre Latrell Mitchell is reportedly so disillusioned with his dumping from the NSW side for Origin II that he may make himself unavailable for representative footy in the immediate future.

The Sydney Morning Herald revealed that people close to the 22-year-old believe he will not make himself available for NSW duty if recalled for game three.

The 2018 Grand Final winner learned of his demotion from Brad Fittler’s side after being told by Roosters captain Boyd Cordner following their 38-12 win over the Bulldogs on his birthday.

On Monday merkins close to him said that he has had a rough few weeks with the death of a few family members, so cut him some slack. On Tuesday merkins close to him say he's pissed and telling Freddy to jam it. My guess is that journos are just joining the dots.

 

[T.S Quint]

Is this like when Blake Ferguson was blacklisted from the NSW team because he chose to train with his new teammates instead of going to a piss up?

Media were spot on there.

 

[TheParraboy]

i think Latrell is unlucky not to be there. I think Maloney is a better fit for him.

Wouldn't have had Fergo, wack Tommy Turbo on the wing. Keep Wighton on the bench, keep JMorris

I think Freddy has handled it poorly.

 

[Gronk]

I think Freddy has handled it poorly.

I don't agree with the wholesale changes, then again I didn't agree with his halves selections for game 1.

Last year the team was picked on club form. This year it was also on form, except for Cleary who has a special exemption. No idea why. Is it a team picked on form or is it a pick n stick team ? This is the problem as you can't have both.
