Brandy has obviously changed his tune in 3 years.

Must have been the 2 months he spent as a panther.

If you played for the panthers your half a chance.

Unless your Reg

Has Cam Murray done anything this year?

Has Cam Murray done anything this year?

Murray is a workhorse. He does a lot of stuff that doesn't get noticed.

He is the best forward in the game imo.

Everyone talks about Turbo and latrell not being there but it's also no coincidence in 2020 we lost when Murray went down after 5 mins in Game 1 and missed the series.

Then last year when he got knocked out early in the decider.

Both times we missed him dearly.

You only have to look at the Townsville origin when he nailed fifita all night.

You’d have to think if they weren’t injured all of RCG, Lane & Matto may have been there given then shit Freddie has named.

I reckon Murray is the closest thing we have to Ray Price in 2023.

Just like the closest thing to Silver is the Lone Ranger's nuts...

 

[Gronk]

I think Freddy knows his footy, but like Bozo, Brandy has lost the plot as a selector and is poisoned with bias and agendas. This is obvious with his bitter commentary on fox.

I think Freddy has picked up some bad habits from Brandy and now we find ourselves in Bizarro World.

Turbo's best days are behind him, surely

So true. Fittler, where once a jovial type of dude is now full to the brim with Panther Smugness. The look on The Ventriloquist Dummy yesterday when asked about Turbo and SOO was like, yeah we picked him cause we know better than everyone. I really dislike Alexander.
Ennis is even worse. Nothing would convince me he left Our Eels on good terms such is his vitriol towards The Eels.

Thank you Billy about time you looked after Parra - Deardon can't play this week along with Cotter, Holmes & Taulagi.

Would have been great for Hopgood to get a run but atm our depth is thin in the forwards and its just not a great time. Hopefully he gets his chance down the track.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yeah, a little early for Hopgood imo, just as it's a little early for Penisini on the NSW side of things.

Good Qld side - no obvious clangers or weaknesses to target. Sensible to leave out HIA regular Ponga too. I presume Tino escaped charge/suspension then?

It was only Mahoney he elbowed.

I am happy for him to get off

 

[King-Gutho94]

Freddy is a tosser trying to play mind games.

Naming it in Alphabetical order.

Do you reckon Billy gives a flying toss.

 

[the phantom menace]

Alphabetical order - how stupid, especially when including the 18: next to Campbell Graham's name.

I don't think it's anywhere near as strong as the Qld line-up.

Tedesco
To'o
Trbojevic
Mitchell
Addo-Carr
Luai
Cleary
Haas
Koroisau
Paulo
Martin
Murray
Yeo
-
Hynes
Frizell
Pangai Jr
Young
18: Graham

Graham could be telling Freddy & Brandy to get stuffed by not picking him haha pulls the injury card so he doesnt have to sit around camp.

Reckon he plays on Sunday for souths.
