Tariq Sims

The point that sticks in my craw is the side is not picked on form it is picked on the thrills of yesteryear and mateship.

.

Completely agree. I vomit every time I hear this “origin player” crap.
It’s supposed to be a representative game, with each position represented by the years best player.
It’s why players like Blacklock were always overlooked despite being clearly in the top 2 wingers in the state.
Just pick the best players on CURRENT form for each game and return some value and credibility to the jersey.

Not a fan of Tariq?

He’s the Asti Spumante in the specials bin and unfortunately some people still think it’s champagne.

He’s made for Origin

1. Frizz (may get ruled out but to be not named very strange)
2. Start with Martin (who if Frizz is out then I would have started with Martin) and put Koolamatngi on the bench
3. JT out of prop to 2nd row and select a real prop.
4. If they can pick FB's as centres then Brown at lock and Yeo to edge (where he has played plenty)
5. IMO any of the above is still better than picking TS.

The point that sticks in my craw is the side is not picked on form it is picked on the thrills of yesteryear and mateship.

Picking TS was akin to Mc Fookknuckle saying Latimore was great to have around the team.

1. Frizz would’ve been named but didn’t because he was injured and they knew that after the game yesterday
2. Disagree te Martin but that guy from Souths has had an Ok year but so has Sims in comparison
3. No JT a middle
4. True but they said today Tariq’s energy and how hard he plays was the deciding factor
5. See 4 above but agree he is just about last man standing
But the more I think about it the more your argument doesn’t wash
it’s his aggression that they want and it think he’s the right selection
only the fact that Victor Crichton and Frizzell are unavailable

I'm a bit late however, onya T Sims

The charge down on Friday night, one of his three this year. He gets it. He wants to turn this ship around but needs more friends.

Sims sizes up Blues enforcer role
NSW Blues second rower Tariq Sims says his role comes down to putting pressure on the Maroons ball players and protecting the Blues halves

Speaking of OT’s rant re Sims selection
I reckon there is a worse one if form had anything to do with it and picking JoeO for QLD
At least Tariq has shown some leading team performances in his side
what has Joe done in the past 2-3 yrs

Fair enough.
All I’ve seen Joe O do is plenty of talking & avoiding bringing the ball out of his own 20.

The judiciary is preparing its verdict already.

Great
Be an enforcer for your state
Media making it out he is going to take em out on his own
Rip someone’s head off for your state

don’t worry about your club
Remember it’s war out there.. LOL.. used to be

How good was Tariq in last night's Origin? Was as tough and brutal as he needed to be, and who knew he could throw a pass like that that one to To'o? Well played Tariq, now do it consistently for t g e dragons eh?

Beast mode last night

Great game by Sims. Apart from 1 dropped ball he did a lot of great stuff last night and was one of the best forwards on the field.

Just watched the replay and Tariq was fantastic last night.....almost MOM performance imo.....if he can replicate that performance in his club games and JDB comes good soon, opposition players will be looking over their shoulders

bse how are you doing now that your treatment is all over, have just finished mine this week, so now the dragons can start winning again.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

perhaps with a bit of smugness - but I'd backed his selection in SOO in some other threads and amongst mates, where they thought it was a joke he got in.

The bloke was exactly the kind of mongrel we needed in the Blues pack, and especially missed last year when we got rolled over like a sponge cake under a truck.

I reckon he's been our best forward this year, Just an opinion. But I'm just simply glad for him to being back to his best. Trust he stays out of the injury lists, and the judiciary. We'll be far better for it.

Those were the reasons why I supported Qld, I think it was Wayne Pearce at the time. Happy to say I'm back on board now we have a coach picking the best players on form.

Oh bartender… Bartender, over here. One glass of Asti please. Make sure the glass is clean. Ta mate, keep the change.
