Spencer Leniu will get the callup i suspect before Reg.

He is perfect for the dynamic duo of Freddy & Brandy.

Leniu currently plays for Penrith and is headed for Roosters next year.

Its Freddy's wet dream & Brandy can big note himself another Penrith Junior has cracked origin.

I went to that game at the SCG as a kid - go Parra, er... I mean NSW. Parra players scored all of our points too.

If cook got injured, who's next?

 

[Gazzamatta]

If cook got injured, who's next?

Brailey was in camp.

 

[JokerEel]

Brailey was in camp.

Only because the Sharks had the Bye.

Robson will be next up.

 

[eels_fan]

Well if Hudson Young was playing to retain his spot he’s lost it
Big Red has been ok but don’t see him getting picked anyway

 

[parra pete]

The big Manly second rower Olakau'atu

should replace Hudson Young, Garrick should get No 18, and Lachlan Croker come in as a back-up to Cook. Turbo is a 'shoe-in' for a centre spot, and Keppie is another for NSW to look at... Bullemor has done enough for a Qld spot on the bench

 

[Gronk]

 

[King-Gutho94]

If Moses gets picked for origin it will probably cost us a finals spot tbh.

Thats the fine line

Games against Manly and Warriors at Home where we should win

if we lost Moses to NSW duties that's probably 4 points tossed down the drain with teams we are fighting for a spot in the 8 with.

 

[hybrideel]

I didn't really pay much attention but just assumed we had a bye before the 3rd game until you just said that.
Then I looked and found that we are the only team to not have a bye before 1 of the Origin games. Add that to the 5 times we have to play teams coming off a bye and 3 five day turnarounds which are both the most in the league.
We really got screwed with the draw.

on the positive side, if Mitch plays I wish him well

Yeah I suppose someone had too.

In saying that next week against Manly should still be winnable no DCE or Turbo for Manly and they are a completely different side without them.

Should be a big crowd next Saturday old boys day apprantley.

Dylan's night out at Double Bay last week is looming as a monumental blunder if Moses is unavailable for 2 crucial games possibly 3 if he gets picked for NSW & he can't back up.

Injurys and now Origin. At least there will be plenty of excuses to choose from at seasons end if required. Its very exciting.

if BA gets this lot into the finals, he'll have done well from here
