Superthread LXVII: Honouring Morgan Freeman on Helium

[Jason Maher]

A decent team for a change. Williams is a concern. I also thing Tamou is wishful thinking. Would prefer someone like Mannah.

Tamou was in the Australian team, so was always going to get picked. He's been in good form over the last month too.

 

[Joker's Wild]

So, it looks like Ill be in Sydney for Origin 1. Any good places around the city to watch the game?

Cannot believe they picked Beau Scott. He's the real Admiral Plod

 

[Drew-Sta]

Agree Hoffman is unusul. I thought Watmough, Gallen and Lewis is a good 80 min back row, with Merrin as respite if something goes wrong. Then three strong front rowers and an impact second rower like Williams.

 

[muzby]

ahh.. Sydney.. You've turned on your good weather for me today..

 

[muzby]

and keeping on topic, game 1 will be closer than most expect..

I'm expecting 40 - nil. So are you suggesting it could be 32 - nil?

 

[Misanthrope]

Judging by the new 'Honouring' status, is Pisshands back?

 

[Twizzle]

I'd be happy if we won by 32 points.

I'd be happy if we won by 1 point

I wish people would stop putting so much weight into reputation and make form the priority.

T-Rex is in form. Lewis is not. Why are people sooking about T-Rex's selection but so supportive of Lewis's. It's ridiculous.

 

[Dutchy]

Both good selections. Just like not picking Sutton was a good choice.

 

[Abz]

I'd be happy if we just f**king won the whole damn series!

 

[ek999]

Mannah's biggest strength is his ability to get a quick play the ball. At Origin the refs let the players lie in the ruck for as long as the want and he doesn't really provide too much

 

[Dutchy]

I am now officially at war with the Lycra wearing cycling douchebags.

Except on women, right?

 

[Dutchy]

f**k them all. Don't pay rego or insurance, don't follow row rules.

THey can all drown in a bath of acid.

Luke Lewis has done the job time and again for NSW. He has earned the right to be picked on reputation. She-Rex is apparently showing a bit of form (finally), but there were other much more deserving players who should have been picked ahead of him.

 

[RHCP]

Yeah, we need to pick on form, not proven performers who consistently lift. Those times we did that with Peter Wallace, Michael Ennis, Ben Creagh, Jarrod Mullen, Dean Young, Jamie Buhrer, Jamal Idris, David Williams, James McManus (the first time), Ben Cross, etc. worked out brilliantly for us!
