Heaps of plodders play for Australia because they have so little competition. A few plodders end up getting a gig in Origin as well, because there's usually fewer than 34 Origin quality players in the game at any given time. So they fill half a dozen spots in each team with plodders, usually from the top NRL clubs.

They're cheap while they're young, but once they have about a hundred games under their belt there is often some demand for them. They can be a cheap way to keep some leadership in the squad, e.g. paying Finucane an extra $50k rather than paying Cronk an extra $200k to stop him going to the Roosters.

Anyhows someone told me to say HI to yourself.
I can't mention his name. But he used to post here a lot until recently

You’ve lost it. Season hasn’t started and you’ve gone koookooo.


I don’t read his posts no more, but couldn’t resist after reading your comments. Hasn’t he said, in the past, after we lose a semi final, that we lost the game because the opposition had more origin players? Now origin players are plodders. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

surely he needs help.

Blake is our most explosive back when fit and in his position. People on here love to hate on him. But with a little space and 15mtrs out who in our backs is better? Maybe Sivo but I rate Waqas feet as much better
Butter fingers under the high ball though. He was a head case last year. Hopefully he sorts that out.

Agreeing with Jake the Snake. Great minds think alike ffs

I said there's not enough Origin quality players to fill two teams, so they fill the remaining spots with blokes who aren't Origin quality. Those players (including Nrown, Gutherson, Matterson and RCG) aren't 'Origin players'. Neither is Liam Martin. It's not f**ken hard, unless Jake is your kindred spirit.

Though comparing him to Martin at the same age they had achieved about the same. Doorey debuted much younger but for a worse team. Keen to see how he recovers from the horrific injury at the end of 2021. His work to set up that try was pretty good.

Yeah but Martin is s good as Crighton from the Roosters or Kikau. He plays f**king tough. He runs hard and hits hard and hurts opponents. He reminds me of N.Brown at his peak with a touch more power.

He’s a lunatic. His rantings are worrying yet funny at the same time. I’m sure an asylum somewhere is looking for him.
