[eels_fan]

Don’t blame him if that’s the case. Should been first back picked

How is Pangai Jnr the next best prop behind Jurbo ?

Gotta keep Gus happy.

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.

Cant believe Welsh didnt make it. Dropping Ponga should be compared to dropping Tedesco. Brave move. I guess its why Slater has a future and Fittler dosent.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Those selections baffle me, but arent surprising from Fittler. Pick blokes who are capable of playing good in Origin, dont worry about club form. Was it him that made an excuse for Pangai's early form because of the World Cup, even though he didnt play? lol

I look at that Queensland pack and can't see who's been out of form. If Tino is suspended they basically throw in Welsh. Scary!!

Freddy is a tosser trying to play mind games.

Naming it in Alphabetical order.

Do you reckon Billy gives a flying toss.

No mind games. Cleary/Hynes on the wings

 

[84 Baby]

Didn’t take long for injuries

Campbell-Graham out

Stephen Crichton 18th
Stefano 19th

At least it’s not Gutho

 

[T.S Quint]

Nicho Hynes is the form player of the NRL by a mile. He has to start and play 80m. So who does he replace ?

He can play 6 and replace the grub from Pennys. Or he plays 7 so he can run the team, but who plays 6 ?

If he plays 6, will he have enough involvement?

Playing him at 14 is a waste.

Run at me.

Looks like Freddie isn't going to take your advice.

Chricton is the third wheel for the bum buddies from Penrith.

How is Pangai Jnr the next best prop behind Jurbo ?

More that he is the only prop not injured behind Junior perhaps? Strange selection either way.

Liam Martin and Frizzel are not in my 17. Either is Luai.

Walsh is a wild talent. Edwards is a great player but doesn't have that spark.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Played for Penrith and has approval from Cleary.

 

[emjaycee]

Played for Penrith and has approval from Cleary.

And Gus.

Gus must have called in a favour. Get his man some extra $$$

We shall agree to disagree on this one mate. Im a big fan of Edwards. I agree hard to drop El Capitano though.

 

[eels_fan]

Edwards is super consistent, but he’s not X factor.

Gutho is more X factor than Edwards.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol Frizzell was the most laughable one, he takes soap with him into the field he’s so washed up.

 

[hindy111]

Edwards is super consistent, but he’s not X factor.

Gutho is more X factor than Edwards.

Neither are x factor. Gutherson has absolutely none bar in defense.

Fittler yesterday “and by all reports from the Bulldogs, he’s a good trainer and all the boys love him. Apparently he’s a great leader.”
