ORIGIN 2023

[BatteredFlake]

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.

Great Concept if thats how it plays out for us. Maybe Sof O will be a serious concept if the rules become hard and fast. birth and raised eligibility AND have players state their allegiance at a set time . Hard and fast. Anyway Bull Flogs should be in state of shock right now. Spent bulk dollars bought high profile players , got best media flogs to back them .... Still F**ked.

At this late stage why would not Fittler pick a player from the teams having the bye, he does not care about anyone but himself

I tell you what’s still f**ked… the fact the dogs are absolute turd, even with Burton, but given we are the masters of shitting the bed, I actually think there’s more chance of us losing facing them without Burton, our boys will be high fiving and joking around today now that the bulldogs are ‘even weaker’ without Burton….
This is typical Sharks shitting the bed territory.

Indeed.
I think it's a real test of where their heads are at this weekend.
Surely they've been read the riot act during the week.

I would hope there are no signs of complacency at all, and anyone who gives anything less than 100% for 80 minutes is given time in Reggies to think about it.

The message has to be clear: losses are acceptable, pea-hearted performances are not.

Ready, set, go......

I'll be shocked if Freddy gets them up tonight

I'll be shocked if Freddy gets anything up.

So glad Nicho not in team Turbo off injured already he would have been playing centre and it would have been his fault.
Instead Damien Cook is now playing centre

I'm quite enjoying this.
Watching the game through 9now and only through spider cam.
No commentators.
All I can hear is the ref, the crowd, the announcer and the hits.
Way better than through the main channel.

Isaiah Yeo is not a State of Origin player, fantastic club player, not Origin.

I’m pretty sure Liam Martin would be a better centre than cook.

Spot on Stake. Cook taking a bath out there - poor bugger.
Tedesco should hook himself.
Turbo just retire.
Not a bad watch. The fallout at this stage should be great.

I've known that for years. Always thought he was a flog.

Like most of the Riff players.

He should quit should we lose tonight.

 

[txta2]

Same shit every year. Talk themselves up and come out and play like a rabble

 

[txta2]

Moses has his own plays and not the team plan. Won't ever win anything

That pass from Fifita was as forward as !!!!

And how whats his face Cotter was allowed to stay on the paddock after being knocked into wobbleland was beyond me.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Fittler master class.
