2023 State of Origin ~ Game 3 *12th July* ~ Team List

Origin should really be played on a weekend - it wouldn't take much to schedule three stand-alone rep footy weekends into the draw, and ensure other games sufficient to meet broadcast deal requirements:

e.g. NZ Maori v Pakeha (or North vs South, or possibles vs probables) series
A Fiji vs Samoa and Tonga v Cook Island round robin series
The NSW v Qld women Origin series (3 games)
One-off NSW City v Country (NSW Cup) / Qld City v Country (Qld Cup) / maybe PNG v other non-NSW/QLD residents games

There's 5 games to almost fill TV slots on each of the stand alone rep footy weekends... that should suffice to rack off the unfair nature of byes before/after Origin out of the competition?

If NSW lose I can’t see Moses, RCG or Gutho ever being picked again which would be great news for us.
It’ll depend on who Fittler’s replacement is, but yeah possibly even if they win, I don’t think they’ll ever be first pick

Fmd that team is aids.

Bradman Best is a turnstile in D. Steve Chricton has weazeled himself into a permanent position it seems despite doing sfa in 5 origins.

Kotoni staggs has mungrel wtf has he done wrong this year to not get picked.

Cody walker seriously is 34 failed at this level multiple times. We have already had to send out 2 search parties for Cody in origin.

One front rower on the bench.

Junior getting dropped is good news for Parra he has been coasting for too long and deserves the axe tbh. He hasn't stood up in 11 origin games so far.

Gutho being picked has really f**ked us for this week. But I suppose it's a reward for him personally for the effort he puts in week in week out and he has stated he would never knock back a NSW jersey when others have.

Stefano getting dropped reinforces another Freddy f**kup picking him In the first place.
