Not starting over Martin or Crichton who are the first choice backrowers.

He plays 30-40 minutes and goes hard.
Why would that work this time when it's failed so badly every other time?

Only room for one backrower on the bench and Olakau'atu is far more suited to that role

I wouldn't say it's failed. We've seen very little from either of them.

It's just a simple case of form. Young can't be left out. Olakau'atu might be picked as well. I wouldn't be certain Daley will pick two props on his bench.

May quoted as telling a mate to burn the NSW jumper he got him and that he might have to swap allegiance to get into Origin after hearing that he won't be picked.

He has just guaranteed he will never be picked for NSW after saying shit like that.

What a dope!

When you are the form prop in the comp and they will not pick you I'd burn the merkin too.

When you don't put your state or club colours first, they burn you.

Needs to be less entitled and learn from the legends who have done it all before he rocked up.

I agree with them that he is more endurance and less impact and in Origin, you need impact because there's guns on the bench so they aren't going to play a prop for 70-plus mins in rep footy.

The only thing May has burnt is his bridges.

Ahh that's the secret sauce, impact!

Don't get me wrong, I love that that big nose dick is snubbing the tigers players, we might win a few that way! But to say that the plodders Daley will pick are more impact than may is laughable.

And what front row legends are you talking about? The ones who lost 8 in a row? Gallen? Please

Yeah Gallen. That's the guy I want in ahead of May. Yup!

Or, Mitch Barnett, Junior Paulo, Jake Turbo (hits like a Mack truck in defence) are all impact players I'd have ahead of May, along with Haas and Leniu who are shoe-ins as it is.

Even Haumole can play some middle from the bench with real umph.

And Gal coming out of retirement. Him too! :D

Jurbo with an impactful 5 runs for 6 meters or whatever snot he churned out last year?
