ORIGIN 2023

[Blues Riff]

Settle down. Nicho's time will come. He was only ever a realistic chance of replacing Luai. Unfortunately for him, Jarome's playing well. If someone takes off Romey's head (highly likely), Nicho will be straight back in for game 3.
Anyway, I have to come to terms with cheering for Mitch Moses. That's a first.

 

[Frailty]

I feel for Nicho, but I'm also happy he is away from the Blues atm.

Fittler and the NSW coaching/selection staff have no idea what they're doing. Honestly, feels like it's more detrimental to be there then it should be.

And especially if we lose Game 2 - would be made a scape goat no doubt.

Yeah he'll be bummed but hopefully no more distractions and just focus on the Sharks.

Prove them wrong.

Freddy and Brandy will go down as the best comedians NSW has ever had.
Many of us could see that NSW needed Cook on the bench in the first game, and if Nicho wasn't in the run on squad best he be left out.
F & B went on and on about how the two hooker system didn't work last year, and yet here they are now picking two hookers, one of which wasn't even part of camp last time.
I would say thats the funniest part until I saw the selection of Hudson Young.
Young was hooked after 30 mins, never to come back on, after he made errors and gave away penalties that lead to a try(s?), and yet he held his spot.
That there is comedy gold.
I'm going to get in earlier this time....
Bye bye Freddy!

Gus did not miss Nicho with some of his comments. f**k the Panthers love fest.

You picked a half and gave him 7 minutes in the centres with zero planning around how to use him now say he isn't ready. Get f**ked.

Agree with all that: I think that was one of the worst things of all to be said.
We will see how Fragile Freddy goes when it goes tits up North.

 

[shadowboxer]

Burton misses out too. So will be playing us

Hopefully sending bombs into the mangroves. If Burton made the squad and Hynes didn’t, it wouldn’t too surprised me.

 

[DJDL]

I read somewhere the other day where Burton reckons he is twice the player he was last year.
After my initial though of 'WTF?' I realized he's probably right: two times zero is zero.

Now watch him tear us a new one on Sunday...

Nah, if I were a Bulldogs supporter, I'd be very afraid of Nicho this weekend.

 

[bluefox68]

Maybe we should be calling Freddy & Brandy “The Biden Administration” as they are clearly struggling.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

So we are going into the game with 3 props.

With one of those the Rookie Prop on the bench.

At hostile Suncorp stadium.

One of your best Fittler.

NFI

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Hudson Young should of been pissed off.

Don’t need the extra backrower.

Spencer Leniu & Saifiti
On the bench.

Adam Reynolds in for Mitchell Moses.

It’s not rocket science.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Mitchell is out.
Crighton back in, Burton 18th man.
No Burton for the Dogs this weekend

 

[Miller was a legend]

Who cares about Origin anyway? It’s a circus and Freddy is the chief clown.

Boo hoo Mitchell is out hopefully spells the end to Fittler as coach

Pfffftt
Former origin coach Daley right on cue.
FMD what a waste of time the great game has become

Sof O players ..Elite Athletes ,Elite Footballers , Elite Competitors. Pick the right in form players, that meet that criteria. Leave out the club loyalty, combinations crap that NSW relies on. Stick to them as much as possible for the series . THEY Are Representing THEIR STATE.... Their Families Their people.
QLd has this thing in their marketing strategy where different players come on and say they are doing it for people in their postcode .... Their people . People they grew up with ,people that made them what they are. For mine that raises it all above the club loyalty combinations argument . It is the reason they grow two heads. Even though if they win , the day after, they just become ONE big arsehole with TWO little heads.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Burton at 18th man is a good excuse - means he won't play for the Dogs this weekend and therefore guarantees a Sharks victory.

 

[Ozzi_78]

How f**king good for Cronulla. Latrell out, NSW will lose, burton 18th so won’t play us. Talk about the perfect scenario. f**k origin

When has "perfect Scenario "ever worked out for Sharks ? We are more governed by Murphy's law !

 

[Chimp]

I’d not be happy if I were a Bulldogs fan. I said at the time during game 1 that Burton should have been brought on under the HIA/sin bin clause and not Nicho (given it was a centre NSW needed), if they didn’t think to use Burton then, there’s next to no chance he gets a game next week, yet the Bulldogs miss him this weekend to sit and warm the bench. Awful concept.
