QLD no loyalty dropping Taylor.

 

[user_nat]

What are they meant to do? Keep playing him and hope he gets injured?

He got 4 (?) chances, that's enough loyalty for me. Same goes for Gillett, don't perform on Wednesday and he shouldn't be certain of keeping his spot.

Agreed. Taylor was given plenty of chances, and then was given even another chance to prove himself against the Broncos last week when he knew his spot was on the line, and what did he do? Made about 5 errors. Te'o should be a good improvement provided he doesn't have any brain snaps.

Derp.

The Loyalty QLD speak about in in reagrds to picking a team at the start of the series. Loyalty to the incumbants and players from the previous year.

QLD showed Dave loyalty by picking him for the first two games. Performance must be maintained to remain in the side.

[Big Pete]

Queensland no loyalty?

Then explain the Civoniceiva selection.

 

[The Gambler]

Really surprised Teo was in the frame.

I don't rate him at all. Seems to think he is some kind of enforcer, however I can only ever really recall him smashing smaller blokes. Forgive me if I am wrong.

Alex Glenn, Gav Copper and Dallas Johnson are classes above Teo in my opinion. And at the end of the day, I probably would have stuck with Dave Taylor.

 

[BunniesMan]

Dallas Johnson is another Ashley Harrison. You can't drop DT for someone like them. They have to put in someone that can do something special.

I understand people are already hating on him because he's going to us but he is Brisbanes best backrower this season.

Glenn> Teo.

Nah, he doesn't discriminate, I remember him smashing a few Newcastle props in 2010.

Seeing as most Kiwis love wearing the Maroon you'd be surprised to hear Glenn is 100% Kiwi. He'd never think of playing for Queensland.

Johnson is past it at this stage.

Cooper could be considered unlucky. For mine in a very similar position as Te'o and you'd be splitting hairs to say who is better.

Still not sure about Taylor. He's been given 6 Origins and hasn't produced anything. Neither he or Gillett deserved to be in the side IMO.

 

[Fast Eddie]

I'm expecting Teo to carve up tbh.

 

[Mader45]

Im generally behind the 8 ball with this stuff so i figured it would be discussed already. As in Wiedler saying Taylor was dropped because of domestic issues between his wife and the bump on his head wasnt from falling out of the bed.

Australia says no to violence against simple coal trains! It could mess with the origin FFS

At the same point, and jumping to awesome conclusions, imagine the outrage if a female swimming star was dropped from the olympic team if her husband was hitting her.

 

[Big Pete]

It's really a 50/50 bet with Te'o.

He'll either play well and pull off a few fantastic individual plays or he'll be rarely sighted and try and put on big shots when they're not on.

Hopefully it's the former.

There you go - I just assumed that all Kiwi's played for Queensland now. My bad.

:lol:

Smashing Newcastle's 2010 props. Dan Tolar, Ben Cross and Jesse Royal? Wow. Jamie Soward could flatten all 3 of them at the same time.

 

[Big Pete]

:lol: yeah, I know. Your forwards have practically been the s**ts for the majority of the Knight's existence.

But the myth was, Te'o only targets players smaller than him.

Cross wasn't smaller than him.

I don't keep tabs on Te'o putting on big shots. He's done it so many times it's hard to keep track.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Maybe in your own bizzaro world.... but the reality is, he isn't.

Not saying he hasn't been good, but IMO, way too inconsistent to be considered the Broncos best backrower this season.

Glenn and Thaiday have been more consistent and even they have been a bit hit and miss at times.

I like Teo. Was super impressed with that shot he put on against the Dragons. Realised just how much bigger he got over the last pre season. Big and fast......

goes missing too much though

I regularly have to question his mental toughness

and I have to admit to being a little apprehensive regarding his naming in the QLD side
