That 50 difference is because they are a good attacking team which will hurt us with our edges being so unstable due to all the shifting.

They are just further along with combinations then we are. We are 4th in attack which is pretty good considering the issues we had

I agree. It's still a threat though.

Of course they are 1st but we will keep getting better

22,500 was the 1st round crowd. I see no reason why this week won't match that

Are you sure? I was at the game and thought I recalled them announcing 18,000 ish? It certainly also didn’t feel like a 22,500 crowd (which I remember from back in the day).

It wasn\y 22,500 that number is no longer used as sellout. It's a bit over 20,000

It was over 20k.

I am sorry I was wrong. Just looked at D/T 11/3/2018 Dean Ritchie. Sell out crowd 21,504. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...s/news-story/e2c0d1b7459488e7accf1361a174217e


I should have checked the figures first. Apologys.

I thought it was 22500 but that close enough

This is the crowd given on the NRL stats site too. There appeared to be empty seats in the corners of the eastern stand but it was a hot day and people were probably underneath watching it on the TV screens.

The figure was quoted in the D/T article. They would be for those who went through the scanners at the gates

Did you catch Gus' Origin team on 100% Footy? Basically all the eligible players in our first grade team. Probably just trying to fire them up for Saturday.

 

[OldPanther]

Gus would know what the NSW team and he's picked this. Either he's a trolling or we'll have a fair amount of representation.


Edit: didn't see blues riff comment. This can add to it

Lol. No David Klemmer and he has Mez and Tamou ahead of him?

Klemmer is a f**king beast. Even putting aside his run metres. He's big. Strong and aggressive. Has been good for NSW before and is someone who strikes fear into the QLD forwards. If he's not our first forward picked we dont want to beat the QLD pack..

Im happy to start fresh. But Maloney and Klemmer are the two best in their positions this year regardless of that still.

Its crazy that Cordner is the only former Blue who looks a certainty when he's in shit form. f**k him. Make Maloney captain. (In Fittlers team. Not Gus)
Also Gallen is taking the piss just as hard. How about removing club bias for team selection.

Duges and Graham. Tamou and Mez... these guys are along way from form demanding Origin spots again.

Mez would probably be the most likely out of those four

I can at least see what Gus is getting at. He's taken from the top 2 teams in the comp. Makes sense in a way.

Gallen is just taking the piss. Dugan, Fergo, Graham with a bench that has Peachey AND Cook.

 

[mxlegend99]

I agree. Hell we could probably win with all 4 so long as we get the halves right.

QLD will never be more vulnerable than now though. I think we need to get the best possible team out there and to tinker with it as needed for the next decade.

Our pack is easily where we can destroy them.

 

[soc123_au]

Using Penrith bias, I'd have Yeo ahead of Aussie Jim & Mez. Not in the front row obviously, but in the team in general.

I think Klemmer for Tamou and Gus has named the team.

Edit: although Cordner bound to be named also.

 

[MrBlack]

Here is what I think the forwards should (will) be.

Front Row: Fafita & Klemmer
Hooker: Cook
2nd Row: Cordner (will concede that he will be picked) and Frizell
Lock: Jake T

Bench: RCG, DeBelin, Vaughn and Peach
