Queensland team?

It's been reported tonight on the ABC that Queensland are open to having four forwards on the bench adding Dylan Napa. The argument is the ANZ Stadium can be a bit more wet and suits a forwards game and Queensland could benefit from having an extra forward. However, by saying that I think you're probably right their more likely to bring Michael Morgan as a utility and keep Napa as 18th man. Morgan provides that flexibility on the bench that you don't have with adding Dylan Napa.

Massive risk if we go in with 4 forwards and cop an injury in the backs. That said I'd support whatever decision they make. If anything Gillett should buy a lottery ticket, and his Origin past performances haven't been that great anyway.

some just ALOT more than others

It's not QLD's fault players want to play for them more than NSW. Like I said get your head out of your own arse before you fall off that high horse.

It's easy enough to go through the teams histories and name players not born in the states they represented. For example, Peter Sterling, Ken Nagas, Willie Mason.... Origin was created in 1980 so that QLD would have all it's players instead of having to play against them. Hell NSW Blues are even trying to claim Beetson as a "true blue" now, he'd tell them where to go if he was still alive, thankfully his family and foundation are telling them where to go.

We all know that both states pick played that aren't from there, it's pretty much accepted, were the criticism comes is for anyone who watched the teams selections had to go through this

Team announcer in angry rant: 'IF YOU ARE NOT A QUEENSLANDER OR NEW SOUTH WELSHMAN, YOU CANNOT PLAY STATE OF ORIGIN'

two minutes later,same team announcer: from Bowraville, Greg Inglis. From Nhulunbuy, NT, will chambers

Give it a rest Diego. We all know that its just because Queensland is more passionate about Origin than the Blues/NSW Supporters.

it's ironic you bring up beetson, because the origin concept was born from qlders whinging to the get the likes of him to play for their proper state. fast forward 20 years, the toads have no issue with players that do that. epic whingers

as for your pissy little list, give me something remotely close as long as this?;

Owned now let's talk footy or do you want to keep crying like a little bitch from your shaking high horse Craig Johnston Because as proven again it's very hard to look down from a high horse when it's half a km down a hole.

And that them playing for QLD is CHEATING?

We think you qlderp merkins are merkins and you think us NSW merkins are merkins.

Let's just play some bloody footy.

This. Everyone are merkins, some of the merkins from NSW are merkins from somewhere else and some of the QLDers are merkins from somewhere else. Some of those merkins are homegrown merkins. Every single one of those merkins wants to play for their state with their fellow merkins. If they'd wanted to play for the other state with the other merkins, they would've.

So it'll be 17 passionate merkins v 17 passionate merkins. May the best merkins win.

And may the rest of you merkins give the boring qualification shite a rest.
