State Of Origin 2016

[Philip_Smith007]

No Robbie Farah in chat with the NSW on locker room camera with the 6,7 and 9 with Blocker Roach.

Gillett got it

Channel 9 hasn't said it yet, making me wait till after break.
Good on him, just use to 9 giving it to Smith or Thursdan.

Gillett got it

34 tries! (Match stat shown on screen)
I can see why he got it!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I would pay RTS levels of money for Matt Scott, truck of a man

12.30am finish in NZ. Obviously that will have to change if they want to ship this game over there.

Let's throw the chequebook at him.

Yep - while some might not like the quality of the game, the 1% stuff and desperation was self-evident - wonder if the Warriors were watching?

The last time we defended like that was the Storm playoff in 2011

Kevin Walters asked Lockyer who they were giving it to and he said Gillett- kinda ruined the surprise

Get your cold NZ hands off my NQ'er.

Onya Bull.

That saves us from the prospect of the Warriors having no Origin reps in a series since...?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Wade Graham in for the Blues as well, which only makes our job easier v the Sharks when he, Gallen, Fifita and Maloney will be backing up 3 days after Origin 2.

If we don't come out of this period firmly imbedded in the 8, it'll be one of the most golden opportunities wasted.

Look at our draw this year - we've played 14 games in NZ and only 10 O/S. We've had the Broncos and Sharks, probably the two biggest representations in the NRL, after Origin, the Knights and Roosters twice...gee whiz, if you want to make top 4 those are the conditions you do it under.

Dream run for us, and a few respected posters here think we're better off without Bull anyway

Well deserved for Lillyman, he's as honest as the day is long - no frills, but to me a fine prop who's strangely underrated by some Warriors fans

When you go to a game you see (and feel) his true worth. He hits so hard, wins the physical contest and is a real presence.

We've said this on this forum a lot.

Bull is awesome, I think it's nuts to say otherwise.

And definitely agree on the draw. On paper (famous last words), we have a team and a draw that should allow a stroll into the eight and get in the faces of 5 and 6 on the ladder. That's even despite bits of atrocious footy this year.

Unfortunately Wade Graham is likely to be an angry bastard the next time he plays.

We're two points behind 5th (I'm calling the Dogs 5th on account of we all know the Eels will drop back). Top four is gone, because the top two are streets ahead and 3rd/4th are the Cows and Broncs. We should be aiming for 5th. We'll start favourites or near upon for every match until the rd 18 bye. Then after the bye, it's not a bad run at all either. If we can't crack top 6 the coach should go. It's really as good a run as you'll ever get. 7th/8th and out is a massive, massive failure given it is basically a top 9 this year.

When are the Eels points being stripped? Is this still happening?

It's being held up by the Eels Board challenging the decision, is it not? I've not studied much into it at all.

All I know is the points will be well gone by when we play them in rd 26. So that's handy.

Meant to come into effect by the end of this month.
