2024 State of Origin Series (Mens Edition)

[Pazza]

And that's the thing - the media carries on like Joseph is the next Hayne.

Hayne played First Grade at 17, turning 18, and played for NSW at 20. Twenty!

Sua'ali'i played Origin for the first time at 20, turning 21.

Hayne won his first Dally M at 21.

What's Sua'ali'i done?

He went to kings and is friends with will penisini.... incase you hadn't heard

I have.

And that's the extent of what he's achieved to date.

12 men for 73 mins. What did anyone expect?

media always need a scapegoat

Hynes had his chance: The four changes NSW must make for State of Origin II

When presented with the moment to dispel a perception that he requires a pack of Strepsils when the lights are on him, Nicho Hynes instead got lost in them.

agree with the first 3, not sure I'd go with Latrell though

The wording, go cap in hand.....like f**k right off.

If he needs some kinda restitution to play, you don't want him there.

 

[the phantom menace]

They should pick Lattrell for game 2, and then leave him on the bench for 77mins as the backline injury cover...

 

[Incorrect]

I probably would. Like Hayne when he was playing in shitty Eels sides, he seemed to use Origin as a platform to showcase how good he was. I think with Souffs basically going through the motions right now, if he had a chance he'd probably try and show what he's actually capable of...

Yeah I can't stand Latrell but he is an elite centre.

That's been the problem at Souths he isn't a fullbacks arsehole.

He is a great centre though.

Throw him in on the centres and I reckon he would make them very nervous defensively.

Lol

"I haven't reached out yet, but I will, because I truly care."

Wouldn't you reach out right after the game, if that were the case?

Further proving via dipshittery, tbh.

 

[yy_cheng]

He couldve used a different tackling technique

 

[Sensei Cobra]

not sure what this result means for API … he tried hard … but a flogging doesn’t help

 

[Parra Cheeses]

What do you think he'd say?

I like your hair

Why pick Latrell over Bradman Best, based on today's performance?

Why pick Latrell over Bradman Best, based on today's performance?

Madge told Latrell he was in yesterday at the Rabbitohs reunion gig, so Best never even had a chance to show his worth

 

[yy_cheng]

Not that it matters but does anyone know why the blues team is named before the maroons?

I would. He will attract attention woth or without the ball. Can play fb, centre, 5/8th.even edge forward at a pinch
