State of Origin 2025 (Mens Edition)

[lingard]

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...

That's what I'd do. Put Penisini on the wing.

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

I think they were more up in arms about Mal being a bit like Madge. Tasted success of a team full of guns, but not having built a roster from scratch.

I think BA is the right guy for that, but not the right guy for Perth of they need a big personality. who can smile tell jokes and win everyone over with his charm. BA has all the charm of a brick.

BA is very used to batting off bad press and wearing the woes of a team on his shoulders.

Sam Burgess definitely not.

If Mal can attract huge name assistants who can run a club and coach a team (ie; do what BA can do) then he's the right guy. Bit of a bludge though, he gets to coach the greatest QLD sides ever, switches over to the Kangaroos and if he gets this gig, the highly paid assistants will do all the work.

Could Dylan even playing the (very) long game in trying to hook up/settle down with that third Arthur sibling...?

Just on Origin.
Edwards, To’o, Lomax, Crighton, Mitchell, Moses and Cleary.

Just on that, and only that, we are genuinely unbeatable.

What makes Origin so great is that is a favourite is never a certainty.

And expect the unexpected

Queensland are exactly where they want to be underdogs at Lang Park.

I am never confident at Lang Park

Look I get the history but take my word for it. NSW will be so utterly dominant this series it will rewrite origin history.

I wonder if they will go Panthers on 1 wing and Barbarians on the other

I think you blokes are more likely to win too… the issue is we’ve all thought that before. Loads of times.

Well hopefully that's the case.

I just have seen us with awesome backline's previously and at the end of the day it means nothing if the forwards get bashed up.

Not much Moses/Cleary can do from there own 20.

And at Suncorp the canetoads generally come out full of Red-Bull and red cordial on some destroy mission while NSW have just woken up from a nap.

Qld have probably there most forward in Tino back this year.

If there was one player QLD missed the most last year was Tino. His there forward leader.

And for mine never underestimate the loss of Cameron Murray. I feel he has been NSW most important forward over the years.

Payne Haas carrying a niggling injury doesn't help either.

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Agree … Haas injury swings the balance massively to the cane toads … if he’s fit and firing I think the blues win but if not the qlders a huge chance
