Can Smith can get f**ked!
I don’t want Rheed playing for QLD. I want him playing for us, ffs!

I tend to agree except for one thing, the invaluable experience that it will give him to play in such a death match pressure cooker arena.

If he could be part of it here and there I think it will bring him back to us an even better player long term.

It would b good for Moses to get a taste of origin as well as I think he needs it to understand what elite is. But it’ll take a few injuries for that to happen

reckon it would only take one - Cleary.

Moses would be next in line

I feel dirty for agreeing with that balding cheating grubby POS, Rheed has been fantastic for us this year and playing origin can only help his game go to the next level. Grant is also a bit iffy in defence from what I have seen.
Everyone knows it should be Rheed starting with Grant on bench.
So Queensland will start Grant with Hunt on bench. NSW will still come up with Origin level bedshitting

I can't see Qld playing both Rheed and Harry .... would you play em both on the field at some point in the game? ...... Hunt can cover dummy half adequately and the halves - surely he is #14

They ran Friend at 9 with Harry off the bench last year and it worked well for them. I'd rate Reed more highly than Friend skill wise (not leadership wise as yet). TBH if Cam Smith thinks its the best option, i'd take his word for it.

I'm not a fan of origin and care even less so for the "passion" of it. But the biggest difference in the game was the QLD team relished in the fact they were called the worst ever origin team. Munster imposed himself on the game like you haven't seen for years, and on the other side you had nathan cleary just continue to provide nothing in the big arena.

And Freddy had Nathan "All passion" Brown and played him for 2 minutes in the 3rd game, whilst he had the game's plodder Jake Trbojevic playing 80. NSW love to pick a big ol loser in that #13 jersey.
