State of origin series

[Exsilium]

Cooper Cronk had an idea to have Reynolds and Luai but swap Nicho in for Luai during the match as the game determines.

So a wasted bench spot?

Sounds like the recommendation of a former Queenslander…

Oh wait

 

[Black Diamond]

When we were in the final stages of signing Maloney, he let slip something about our TPA's in a media interview. That meant we had to shed some more cap space and Latu was the one that had to go. If Maloney had kept his mouth shut, we (allegedly) would have been able to keep Latu.

Oh yes, I remember that, thanks for the memory jog

It also throws away a few years of building combinations

 

[Fangs]

Suspected fractured jaw for Korisau.

Guarantees Cook if true. The Reynolds conversation is well known. Add in Cody Walker's form.

I'd say Luai is gone? Great news for us tbh. I'm done with Origin already.

 

[Flashstep]

To many injuries for NSW, must win game at Suncorp it’s looking dire may as well start looking to the future.

*cough* f**k Tedesco and Turbo off *cough cough*

Be interesting to see the MRC make of the Tino forearm.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Tino is such a deadshit. merkin of a bloke

Was it illegal, I’ve kinda been more focussed on the cricket.

Was the same thing he did to Reed Mahoney the other week. Raised his forearms carrying the ball

He got of that one, probably get of this one too?

 

[Kilkenny]

I guess that rules Luke Brooks out of SOO.

 

[Munky]

Brooks in SOO II would be one of the great rugby league stories if NSW won.

1 in a million and all.

The Maroons have there issues, but I don’t envy Freddie there is not that much left to pick from in a do or die game.

I have no idea which way he is going to go in so many positions not just replacing Cleary. Cook for Api is a given but otherwise good luck to him he is on a hiding to nothing.

It’s really going to hurt big time if Spencer gets picked for game two. I only hope he has a big clause in his Roosters contract which upgrades him if he does. They should never have been in a position to sign Spencer, just makes a mockery of the salary cap.

He got a fine for that.

It does raise a flaw in the system though. Attackers can do almost anything and it is allowed whereas defenders are losing all their weapons to defend them

Freddy won't change much at all, NSW has built up combinations over a few seasons now.

A fit Cleary
Api
Murray

Are walking back into the side when fit, No reason much gets changed

 

[Fangs]

Cody Walker in doubt now.

So perhaps Luai remains in (Unless Hynes starts with Reynolds). Shame for us if true. We really need him in the team with Cleary out.

Cody Walker is a good club player, but he's not an origin player. Hynes and Reynolds for sure.

Btw did anyone see Fatty and Cameron Smith defending Tino after breaking Appi jaw? I thought that was really low and nasty. Qld will pay for that.

To not pick Adam Reynolds with his Rabbitohs/Broncos connection is a huge shock. I'm sure this is Freddys last Origin.

 

[Sime_11]

Freddy, Brandy & Co are swayed by NSW media - not alot of faith in their original decisions

Hynes fed to the wolves here unfortunately.

if we win against the Cows - Great - but if we lose- that Critta 18th Man for NSW is gonna be so frustrating
