State of Origin Bolters

[c_eagle]

From a Manly point of view, Scott Donald for QLD, Sam Harris and Daniel Heckenburg for NSW. I doubt any of them will get selected but I think Scotty really deserves it.

I dont think Nutley has a hope in hell, sure he makes a few tackles, but he isnt a talented player and would be out of place at the origin level.

As for Mark Minichiello - I think you guys should look at Ashley Harrison first, he has been the much better south sydney backrower.

I just really think that Nathan Hindmarsh should play, the guy has been the best backrower in the comp this year yet we are constantly bombarded with rubbish like "Waterhouse should have been picked ahead of him" or "Timmins is the better option"

Deserving it has nothing to do with getting selected. Honestly C Eagle, if Scott Donald had played for Roosters, Broncos, St George or Newcastle he would have played Origin years ago. Not saying I think he should get selected. Far too small for the physical origin footy without much open space.

 

[Paullyboy]

I dont think Donald is worthy of it to be honest, he has speed - but so do lots of players. Billy Slater has speed but he isnt worthy of an origin jersey, Joven Clarke had even more speed yet he was not even good enough for a club jersey. To make origin you need more than just speed.

It don't matter what we want, it's what Phil Me Groin that gets to pick the Squad.

My Bolters are Cooper and Thommo, Only if Saints can Win this week vs the Rorters. If they do, and these guys play some part, they will improve their prospects signifigantly.

Why would they pick Amos Roberts. He like Blkacklock was never picked, But hey, I think both are Supreme athletes and Amos on Form deserves the spot, But there is Rooney, Lewis ahead of him, and Tahu is a Favourite of the selectors for some reason.

Preston, Forget him being picked at origin, Phil is all talk, he wont pick him.

Orford, since he will be at the Roosters in 2005, Will be picked at Half, and Barrett now that he has decided not to go to the Rorters, may get overlooked for Gower.

Dead right there mate.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I don't care how well Cooper is going. Unless he cuts his hair he should never represent.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I can't stand rats tails either!

It dont matter what we want...well there's a scoop! Would you prefer a poll on nrl.com to pick the side, Jill?

 

[woodgers]

No. A coach with no affiliation to any club would be nice. Same with the "selectors"

Just like Russell Fairfax trying to get into Easts Leagues during you "Glory Days"?? :lol:

Cheers,

[Southernsaint]

I think the reason Tahu gets picked is because of the combination he works with Gidley, another "selectors pet".

Cheers,

:lol:

Did you even watch the game last night? The Gidley-Tahu combination was once again excellent and resulted in a great try- and they were once again sound in defence.
They do it everytime too, so I don't know what you're complaining about.

 

[richie8u]

my back 5 for SOO
1) mini
2) amos
3) cooper
4) lewis
5) grothe

That was some great defensive positioning off the scrum wasn't it?

 

[simon says]

I reckon that was Lockyers fault at the scrum.He let the player get outside him and that brought Gidley in.

 

[chemicalbrother]

Orford, since he will be at the Roosters in 2005,

Source?

Probably was but Tahu should have tried tackling low, a good chance it wouldn't have worked but a body to body tackle? What was he thinking?

 

[simon says]

Wow,I thought Tahu made a great attempt to pull the Volcano down.I thought he was too close to the line to try and go low.I reckon Tahu really put his body on the line and had a real dig.......

Cheers.
