2021 Game 2: State of Origin Sun 27/6 - (plus Womens Origin Fri 25/6)

[I'm a loser baby...]

This 'Origin audition' shit is barmy. It's one f**ken game! Brandy suggesting it should be a 7 to replace Cleary, and the two best are Moses and Reynolds. Cronk thinks Moses has two hands on the jumper. The boring merkin.

From what we have heard across the board (Gus, Cronk, Anasta, Brandy, Joey) its Mitch's to lose.

Providing he plays a decent game tonight (especially kicking) and comes through unscathed, he'll get his origin jersey

I hope he does. Should do his confidence good. More upside than down.

Luai is out of origin 3.

Wighton will replace him at 6 (courtesy of Brandy on fox)

Combinations.

I bet they’ll go with Reynolds and Walker.

brandy already said Wighton will be 5/8th, and they are looking for a new 14

Anyone else concerned that if Moses gets picked and we lose he will get absolutely caned by the media / fans and his confidence will be shot?

Yep, but he deserves a shot. Brad needs a No.2.

Johns on 9 seems to have changed tact. Friday he was all about Moses for NSW. Now saying the big tick is the Souths halves.

Seems Moses misses out purely due to Luai going down

Do you feel the 12 x NRL games are effected during these periods? I know plenty of friends who don't bother watching during these times.

eh? It’s Been affected for 40 years. Sounds like your friends only discovered league this year.

The revenue Origin generates is insane, pinnacle of our sport and you want to reduce it to two matches to avoid a dead rubber?? I see where your coming from but in reality it’s very poor business management.

Otherwise the format gets changed decades ago or Origin fades away. Neither look like happening anytime soon

yeah seems everyone is saying that in the media

tbh I think Walker has been entirely meh in origin ..... I don't think he should be in line .... but then wighton hasn't been sensational either

I wouldn't begrudge Reynolds getting pickked over Moses - I think NSW need a good kicking 7 who can get the ball out to Tom/Fat guts - reynolds could be better at that than mitch

All the Titans players are coming off the bench for QLD. If they don’t get big minutes there is a chance they all play against us.
