Teams killing team mates Origin chances

[Rabbit toes]

Few weeks back DCE asked his team to lift to help get him back into the origin frame. Around the same time Api Korisau was well in contention for NSW hooker.

Since then Manly have imploded and pretty much killed both these players chances for game 1. With friends like that who needs enemies.

What other teams in the past have dragged origin potentials down into the mire?

Manly ain't doing the Trbojevic boys any favours either.

True.
But I didn’t know how to spell their names so I left em out. You get the idea

Play for the team and winning. Not to enhance someone else’s career aspirations.

Exactly. If the team mates were playing to win, the origin contenders would already be getting a leg up by playing their game within a winning team.

That ain’t happening at Manly

It’s a problem with narcissistic behaviour. They are always being let down by others yet take the credit when things go right. Always looking for admiration and if it doesn’t come the person doesn’t believe you support them.

The only thing stopping DCE from making rep sides is the fact that he's a sh*t merkin

They don't have the one shared birth certificate.

Nathan Merritt would have made Origin years earlier if souths weren't so shit.

The Turbo bros?

Not really on topic but players getting played out of position never helps origin chances.

 

[TheVelourFog]

theoretically Origin should be about the in-form players getting picked but it never happens that way

 

[King hit]

The Trbojevic brothers are still going to be there. Jake is all quality and Mansour is gone so I imagine Tom would be the front runner now.

 

[SDM]

If Parra weren’t so shit Mannah and Alvaro would be starting props for NSW

I'd have Addocar and Ferguson on the wings. If Tom cannot make it as a fullback he shouldn't make it at all. Jake is probably safe though.

Sutton probably would’ve played more origin if soUths weren’t poo for the majority of his career

Ian Hindmarsh for parramatta as well
