State of Origin 2025 (Mens Edition)

[Soren Lorenson]

Earlier in the year I was happy with our origin draw against manly thinking they’ve have Turbo, DCE and Haumole in.

turns out they only lose DCE whose been pretty shit tbh and isn’t that much of a loss for them!

Turbo and Haumole will tear us a new one

Turbo is lame and Haulome will probs come in for someone. Still, we are not a trustworthy team without Momax.

 

[senior]

i don’t think you guys understand how busted turbo is, he made 6 errors on the weekend and could barely jog

Watch him make an ultimate recovery and score a hattrick

 

[TheParraboy]

Gee it's tough being a chooks fan having 5 blokes picked for Origin.

And then you have to play before every origin.

Fmd

Thats what happens when your the bravest team...

 

[Gronk]

Mole says that Jake has a grade 1.

 

[King-Gutho94]

If Manly and Jake Trbojevic are serious about concussion.

He shouldn't be playing again for at least 6 weeks.

 

[JokerEel]

Holy shit I just realised that with Lomax playing SOO and with Simmonsons Injury as well plus Dunster Mia Tago is next in line his defence is not good not good at all..

Only other option is to move Samrani to centre and play Penisni or Russell on the wing...

Might see Samrani on the wing (outside of Penisini) so as not to break up the Russel/JAC combo on the left edge which seems to be working in attack and defence of late.

not a bad shout actually...

I'd prefer JAC to be up against Saab than anyone else

 

[Gazzamatta]

Big Sam L's stats look terrific from the weekend. The ultimate smokie.

 

[eels_fan]

I'd rather us give Richard Penisini a shot than use Tago or Dunster on the wing. Samrani is just developing well into that role as bench forward, would not be changing that.

I'd have to kick him out of the Kent Club.

Are SOO coaches really coaching but??

This. Laurie is no worse than Mal Meninga. Up to the players to perform.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Surely coaches do all the game planning, tactics and adjustments, and training to bring together combinations from different clubs so that they gel successfully?

Otherwise it's just a batch of talented individuals going out there and playing free style - like a Sunday training game in a local park. That's not what Origin looks like.

You don’t think the best players in the game discuss tactics with each other?

Moses, Cleary and Yeo will have more influence on the game plan than Lozza.

Just like C.Smith, Turdston and Slater had more influence on the game plan than Mal.

This. Laurie is no worse than Mal Meninga. Up to the players to perform.

Everyone talks down Mal's club coaching record.

Its 52.9% with only 1 losing season from 5.

He has the 2nd best Winning % as coach of the Raiders behind Tim Sheens in there history.

I thought it was Stephen Kearney like but its nowhere near it.

TCT was up in arms about the possibility of BA being overlooked for Mal in Perf.

TCT was up in arms about the possibility of BA being overlooked for Mal in Perf.

Someone should tell them that Mal even has Brad Arthur covered on win% when it comes to coaching NRL club level.

And then Mal has all the Rep honours to add to his tally.

The only thing Mal hasn't won that BA has is a wooden spoon.

Mal Meninga

Brad Arthur

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Mal will be fine over there, the man of feathers will ensure he has a good team around him. BA will get a job at Newcastle, nothing surer. If you really want to go tinfoil hat, maybe even Dylbo had an idea this would happen when he signed.
