Origin II - NSW v QLD - *LIVE SCORES* 8pm. Gameday Info Post 136

[lockyno1]

Good QLD side. For those bagging Farah..honestly he either plays 80minutes or not at all. Simple, and he didn't help himself last night!

 

[Pierced Soul]

so have myles and webb played like 2 games between them in the past 6 weeks?

 

[lockyno1]

What is wrong with them? Webb played well on Saturday and Myles has done it before at origin level!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Myles, shouldnt be there, not for the 1st game and not for this one.

 

[lockyno1]

Yes he should, as he averages close to 10m per run in the nrl, and has the ability to play prop and 2nd row. That is a massive advantage in origin. No-one else would come close to be honest. If you are saying he is a wrong selection fine..give me someone else who can play 2nd row/prop..and don't say Matt Scott as he is just back from injury (he'll be in contention for game 3).

 

[dallymessenger]

no farah, and kimmorley for mullen means nsw are worse off than game 1, even though hoffman for toupou is a good one.

queensland close to full strength with webb in for kaufisi.

queensland stronger team than game 1, nsw weaker.

the only hope NSW have is their hoodoo over Queensland at Telstra.

on paper, Queensland look specials to shut it out.

very silly decision not to go with farah, the thinking being that he can only cover a few positions whilst bird has more utility value. the way i look at, NSW need match winners, farah can do that, bird can not.

at a pinch, i would pick farrar over buderus if it came down to current playing form. as nsw need buderus at captain and for his experience, farah had to get the utility spot.

think the blues selectors have just handed over the trophy to the bannabenders

 

[lockyno1]

Why exactly? The most stupid decision of Origin 1 was to bring Buderus off..so why does NSW need Farah. Buderus was simply awesome on Saturday and is a "origin type player". Farah will get his chance but IMO Farah either plays 80minutes or not at all. You want a utility Craig Wing is by far the best one.

They do it every Origin and it sh*ts me Bedsy is an 80 minute player and the team looks so rudderless and weak its pathetic, like Farah either 80mins or not at all.

 

[bobbis]

Lyon hasn't done anything to deserve his place and King isn't a winger, presumably Lyon is only there because he kicks goals, theres a few centers I'd have in front of him. The solution is simple drop Lyon, move King in, Grothe to the wing, then drop Kimorely and play Orford who in my opinion is a better half, he can conveniently also kick goals.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

monaghan is better than orford and kimmorley combined - which isnt too hard though

 

[Mal Meninga]

Bird and Hoffman are top selections and won't let anyone down. Don't really understand the amount of bagging towards Kite, he'll have a big one i'm sure.
If anyone will lose it, it'll be the halves just like Origin I.

 

[Christmas Ape]

Myles, shouldnt be there, not for the 1st game and not for this one.

Agreed.

 

[Christmas Ape]

give me someone else who can play 2nd row/prop.

Scott Logan.

Orfod's goalkicking has been awful this year!:lol: And he chokes in big games!:lol:

 

[lockyno1]

Scott Logan.

Um no..he is a prop. Not versatile at all.

Being an 80 minute club player doesnt mean your an 80 minute origin player.

The reason they do it every origin i very much doubt 'bedsy' or anyone for that matter can keep up at full intensity for 80 minutes in an origin game. it would be like playing 120 minutes of club footy.
Smith may play 80 minutes of origin but he also has age on his side. And probably doesnt play as much of a pivotal role as buderus does for NSW.

 

[salivor]

As a Queensland supporter all I can say is thank you NSW selectors for keeping the likes of Gallen and Laffranchi out for the second match in a row as well as keeping a nuffies like Lyon and Anasta in your backline.

Cameron Smith did it in Origin 1. Buderus can do it easily!

 

[Dutchy]

Monaghan for Kimmorley
Watmough/Gallen for Ryan and I would be a happy chappy
