More reasons to hate state of Origin.

More reasons to hate state of Origin.

origin is the very best of rugby league

 

[Pommy]

origin is the very best of rugby league

it’s really not.

 

[cumbrian Mackem]

origin is the very best of rugby league

As a product on the field I agree but it’s to the detriment of the greater game of RL.

I'm hoping Coates chooses PNG in a world cup year.
Based off comments Papalii and Tino have made in the past I wouldn't be surprised if they choose Samoa.

If anyone is interested, the ARLC has released a Kangaroos merit team this arvo..No real surprises I suppose..

Tbh if thats the best the Roos have at the moment the WC is far from a certainty.
I've been saying for the last couple of years that with no heir apparents to the likes of Thurston, Smith, Inglis, and Cronk, there might be a period of vulnerability for the Kangaroos.
Tedesco and Munster are good but not in the same tier of almost-untouchable greatness.

NZ could name:

1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2 Ken Maumalo
3 Joey Manu
4 Charze Nicoll-Klokstad
5 Jordan Rapana
6 Shaun Johnson
7 Jahrome Hughes
8 James Fisher-Harris
9 Brandon Smith
10 Jesse Bronwich
11 Tohu Harris
12 Kenny Bromwich
13 Joseph Tapine

14 Dylan Brown
15 Braden Hamlin-Uele
16 Isaac Liu
17 Nelson Asofa-Solomona

and England:

1 Sam Tomkins
2 Tommy Makinson
3 Oliver Gildart
4 Jake Connor
5 Tom Johnstone
6 George Williams
7 Johnny Lomax
8 Alex Walmsley
9 James Roby
10 Tom Burgess
11 John Bateman
12 Elliot Whitehead
13 Luke Thompson

14 Jack Welsby
15 Mike Cooper
16 Liam Farrell
17 Liam Watts

[myrrh ken]

Haha what is? Roos thrashing poms every 4 years?

I think Ted and Munster are getting close.

It's the rest of the team that are underwhelming and honestly only there cos there's no one better, except maybe papalli

Worst halfback since Ben Hornby, and a captain that is basically in medical retirement.
