Should be Johnson IMO.

 

[The Joker]

Gavin Cooper as a darkhorse? He's been in great form for the Cowboys all year and has a combination with Thurston

Should be Johnson IMO.

Pretty sure Teo will be on the bench, Parker will be the 13.

What did Johnson do to get punted from the team anyway?

Was a part of the threepeat squads wasn't he, and there was all that bullshit about him being the personification of the "QLD spirit" because he got KO'd twice in a game of some nonsense.... then he was punted like yesterday's news (despite all that apparent loyalty stuff the maroons have).

Johnson left to play Super League (forget the club). He wasn't there the last 3 years, Harrison was. I would not complain if Johnson was picked, won't let QLD down, I just feel a more attacking lock is needed.

I reckon Teo will get it, always more of a show for selection when your a Bronco.

The snubbing of DJ due to his defection to England is fair enough, but to select Folou after he announced he was going to AFL, shows that there is one rule for Broncos players and another for non-Broncos.

In all seriousness though I don't reckon DJ has been in consistent enough form to warrant selection (mind you I would argue the same about Gillet also).

Harrison is no big loss. QLD have a few decent back rowers of his quality.

 

[hutch]

Disgraceful selection! If he gets selected he will be the first player who moved to Australia for rugby league purposes and play for an Australian state! He has played for NZ under 16's, junior kiwis, NZ train on squad and has played a test for Samoa which should lock him in for them! And this is all aside from the fact that he isn't good enough anyway!

Fair enough, makes more sense like that I guess.

What crap teo is as qld as they come! Moved there from no when he was 16, moved to Sydney 18 months later for 3 years and has been in qld since

The bloke is geniused, likely to give away a stupid penalty, dropped ball, missed tackle to allow nsw to win

He wasn't even in the country.

DERP.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Didnt Teo pledge his allegiance to Qld a few years ago thinking he'd get picked for origin and didn't :lol:

 

[beave]

T'eo....... sigh.

 

[Snappy]

Unless Gillet is getting dropped, Teo wont be in the team. He may have been called into the squad as cover, but wont be in the 17.

Parker will replace Harrison.

Thaiday is back so Dave Taylor will be back on the bench.

 

[Ladmate]

As a NSW fan, I am absolutely thrilled at Ben Teo playing.

 

[DeeJ]

oh god i hope he doenst get picked. His form this year hasn't even warranted selection.

Well then you'll be disappointed because he wont be playing.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

LOL Origin's a joke.

This has the makings of a classic LU thread - Tigers fans still hating on a former player who's doing far better at another club, idiot Blues fans trying to decry QLD's loyalty for not selecting a player who went to ESL, and Kiwis blowing up about Origin selections - all based on speculation from journalists looking to fill space on their page.
