2022 Rabbitohs State Of Origin

[callmack1]

It's that exciting time of year again and Origin is just around the corner so time to make a thread!

NSW named their squad last night,

Murray and Cook return for NSW Blues: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2...urray-and-cook-for-their-nsw-blues-selection/

The 'tough' call on incumbents, Bronco's 'outstanding' rise - NSW Winners and losers: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/st...c/news-story/d3d956a4b51a2d7c9317fffc2932fca2

It is a pretty strong squad, even with a few changes. Congrats to our boys, Cookie and Cam for making it! I think Campbell Graham has been pretty hard done by, he deserves to be at the very least in the squad over Suaalii. Very disappointed he's missed out.

Haven’t got much time for this shit anymore, Fittler showing his Roosters & Penrith caps
Graham is a better centre than both those blokes, also the dropping of the Fox to bring in a taller (roosters) winger, if he’d had Graham defending kicks out wide with the fox there’s plenty of height
Also bringing Suaalii into the squad is a joke but uncle Nick might have insisted his boy Bradley did it

Jai Arrow named in extended Maroons squad: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2022/05/30/jai-arrow-named-in-extended-maroons-squad/

Congrats to Jai on being picked in the extended squad. A bit of a shame to see him not picked in the starting 17 but I guess it's good news for Souths if it stays that way because it means he'll be fresh for Round 14. I think he's been in good form this year and deserves a spot but obviously Slater still thinks he has some work to do.

Otherwise that's a very strong Queensland squad, probably the best they've named on paper in years!

The day has arrived!! State of Origin is here!! Happy Origin day everyone!

I'm going for Queensland tonight but will of course be cheering on our Rabbitohs Cookie and Cam too!

Just hope it's a great game and a great spectacle. Should be because on paper I believe it's really, really even.

Enjoy your Origin Football!!
