Is Idris ready for Origin?

[STG-Dragon]

idris is a classic media hype player .. like dane laurie ..

So true Bitch tits is so overrated it not funny! I hope they pick him and he gets showed up BAD for the overrated player he is!

 

[God-King Dean]

Out jumped? Idris was back expecting a bomb, he had to turn, run in field and still almost got there. Do you honestly think if Creagh and Idris were up against one another in a genuine contest for a high kick that Idris wouldn't out leap him? Please..

It's not that far fetched.

That's the 2nd try Creagh has scored in that manner this season. Used be a winger & was a talented basketballer in highschool.

idris is a fantastic leaper, but he is absolutely sh*t at catching, timing his jump, or even getting in the right position to catch it.

 

[ByRd]

Well the kicks he has received this year have been average at best, we can never get them in the right position, they are always too short or too long.

I dont think Idris is ready yet, the kid has talent and will be something special but needs more time to learn the game and work on his flaws. I can see why they are calling for him to be in the side as NSW need to look to the future and try something different to defeat QLD but atm he isnt ready, maybe next year.

Picked on the bench.

Now heres what I just don't understand...
Jamal Idris played for Milperra Colts,Berala Bears and St Johns Eagles

He went to La Salle College, Bankstown

Bulldogs didn't pick him for Harold Matts or even any development teams..
He had to try out for S.G Ball for the 2008 season.
So as a teenager he made 1 rep team,the Bulldogs sg ball 2008.
From that season i dont know what happened to him,but he went on and made the Oz schoolboys played 20s,played first grade.now origin

Some1 1st tell me how he is classified as being from the "country",when he played junior footy in the bulldogs district for years and years.
Also why doesn't any one menshion how he got to where he is,all within a year? he was a unknown just poped up over night!

I reckon he pulled all the Dogs officials pants down IMO

 

[Ridders]

Yeaaaaaaaaah. Origin try on debut.

Dude, you got some of your information wrong. His junior clubs were Forster, Bankstown Sports, Berala Bears and Chester Hill Hornets. His first junior club was Forster in country NSW, then the Bulldogs scouts recruited him. So he is rightfully a country rep.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Idris#cite_note-1

He did play for Milpera Colts also mate,and No they didn't recruit him at all,they didn't offer him any contracts at first,he was just picked in the ball squad,he was a bulldgos junior.Alan Fry who was the coach of the team that season did not expect idris to even go to 20s.
Injury after injury he got his shot,then played well in the 20s,then same thing injury and injury, plus the dogs were dead last at the time,he got a couple nrl games..
The point is,who ever was in charge of the recruitment at the time(2008) is a dead set fool,they didn't pick him for any junior teams and then his playing 1st grade within a year.

You got your info wrong actually. He started in the local Bankstown Comps as has been stated already. He then went and lived in Foster in the mission played junior footy for quite a few years. Then came back and played SG Ball for the Dogs and begun his rapid rise.

Terrible misread for Inglis' try - you could just see it coming.

QLD had a 4 on 2. Was always going to be a try

Nope, if you have a look again, Lyon had the second rower covered (Myles?), Idris should have been on Inglis and Hayne was covering Boyd

Lyon may have had Thurston covered but not much else. I have seen it several times.

Even if Idris did read that wrong, keep in mind, the kid is 19, you can't expect a rookie to be squeaky perfect. Even people like Darren Lockyer make mistakes.

Exactly, he did read it wrong, but he is 19 so it's not entirely his fault it can be expected, but it is the selectors fault, because he shouldn't have been in the team.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that
