State Of Origin Selection

[Frenzy.]

He'll get off. Queensland will cry. He'll play SOO, NSW will lose and Blue Corduroy will be back for the dead rubber

 

[Frenzy.]

I think you lose 5 carryover points a game though.

Correct. 13 x 5 to come off. Will still have 28 carry overs.

Careless high is 75. That's the lowest for the offence.

What about loading for similar previous offences

 

[Card Shark]

SOO I believe

Yes

SOO will save him missing a game for us.

 

[Frenzy.]

Well......

If the player has been convicted of the same or similar offence in the two-year period immediately preceding the incident, the player is liable to an increase equivalent to 50 per cent of the base penalty for each previous offence. The exception to this rule is Grade 1 offences where the player will only carry the loading for a 12-month period.

His previous was a grade 2 careless (125 points)

 

[Eion]

Yes

SOO will save him missing a game for us.

Good, wipes his carryovers win/win.

 

[Card Shark]

Bloody oath....f**k SOO, although I feel sorry for him if he doesn't realise his dream.

 

[coolumsharkie]

f**ken nuthin innit

 

[Sharkman05]

Hope he plays he deserves it.

Will be good for him and us, good luck mate.

I think its in our best interests that the Blues lose game 2, Gal is busted and if game 3 is a decider I can't see him playing the next 2 games in between and who knows what happens after game 3?

Of course he is likely to play game 3 even if its a dead rubber but may at least be more focused on a Sharks flag and ensure he is right for the remainder of the season.

But no matter what happens, I would be shocked if he lines up against the Warriors

 

[McLovin]

How good is it... Have we ever had 5 NSW origin players during a single season? Ennis should really be there imo...

Maloneys face looks busted...Gal close second...

 

[Card Shark]

Kyle Feldt into the Qld squad as a backup for the struggling (with injury) Gagai.

Could've been Val....

 

[roboshark]

Wish we weren't playing nz during origin

 

[Stake Removed]

Wish we weren't playing nz during origin

Agree but now just 3 backing up, plus game at Shark Park is a big plus.

And if goes by game 1, Fifita wont get huge minutes

 

[Stake Removed]

NSW U18's team we have a shark in there

Isaac Lumelume a winger has made the team, good to see we have another player moving through rep teams

 

[Madsharkie]

Wish we weren't playing nz during origin

Better than playing them before origin (I.e. Definitely without our origin stars).

 

[Griffoshark66]

Kyle Feldt into the Qld squad as a backup for the struggling (with injury) Gagai.

Could've been Val....

I reckon Val would've been there over Gagai in the first place. Will he turn out to be better than ET?

 

[bluefox1968]

Maloneys face looks busted....

Yes - classic case of not looking like much of an athlete, but being a great footy player...

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Maloney and Gal taking hits for the team.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

so just on that
I think it would be worth it to rest gallen the next two matches.
we have the warriors and eels at home.
I think we can win without him those games. and give him a rest.
obviously he will play origin three, but his knee looks a bit gimpy

we have JSL to bring up or Capewell from the jets or whatever.

anyway, something to think about.
that said, Wade wont be backing up I would be expecting a supersayan performance from him
