No, however it doesnt make your hypocrisy any less

Hypocrisy? He clearly wants to play for NZ and not Australia.

Giving shit to Qld for picking players not born in Qld.

Along with the many Kiwis picked over the years that were not born in NZ, you also endorse Ponga playing for NZ who himself wasnt born in NZ

Hypocrisy

I'm just saying that you can't fill a team without picking Kiwis. You have plenty to choose from, and we don't. You reduce our selection pool substantially. Nsw don't really do it at the level qld does.

You even try and cheat to get more kiwis.

"You"? Sorry, are you under the impression that I'm a Qlder


Any way, Id be more worried you're fellow countrymen are wanting to choose an Origin jersey over their country of birth. Sounds more like a you problem

It's a lot of $ in Origin Axe bro.

I'd only expect Qlders to stand up for Queenzland around this time of year, but you're a good dude for defending the other state

@Bobby DIGital For your attention.

@Bobby DIGital For your attention.

Thanks bro. The QRL must not have looked at this document on their own site before picking Ronaldo huh?

Walsh was good last night but not the answer for qld. Injury question mark. If pongs is moved to the bench, hamiso to 1 and Holmes to centre, add a winger. Cotter into the middles and the dolphins edge forward into the 17. Corey in for loiero

Sounds like DCE is going to be axed for game 2... Whatever happened to pick and stick QLD??

Yeh hammer at fullback would be great

Along with Dce getting punted

Josh Papalii recall?

I don't have the time to watch every game every week so might be a bit of a funny team but this quickly put togeher seems stronger than the game 1 team:

1. Ponga 2. Coates 3. Holmes 4. Tabuai-Fidow 5. Taulagi 6. Dearden 7. DCE (C) 8. Fotuaika 9. Grant 10. Tino 11. Cotter 12. Nanai 13. Carrigan

14. Walsh 15. Horsburgh 16. Jai Arrow 17. Kurt Capewell

18. Kurt Mann

---

- Toia unlucky to miss out but Holmes has great experience at this level and probably a more suitable choice at centre as opposed to a 13 match rookie player.

- DCE remains because I feel it'd be detrimental to the team to drop their captain and best half from game 1. Obviously the early reports are that DCE will be dropped though, I'd be waiting until next year to do that. Munster misses out as he was absolutely awful in game 1 and has been for quite some time from memory.

- Mann unlucky to miss out on the utility spot but as a NSW fan I would definitely be more afraid of Reece Walsh coming off the bench with 20-25 to go compared to Mann.

- Horsburgh, Arrow and Capewell seem a lot more intimidating than Fermor, Loeiro and Collins as well. The forward pack from game 1 needed desperate changes.
