Worrying story in Tele

[Alan Shore]

Apparently Creagh will rotate with Gallen in the front row. Creagh. FFS, another series loss if he's our "muscle" up front!

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Lmao is this a piss take?

Somebody post up the fairy gif.

 

[Tigger Madness]

One of Ricky's funniest jokes

 

[nqboy]

LOL if you guys pick Creagh again. The only bloke ever to pick a fight in Origin and then backpedal out of it. Please pick him again.

 

[some11]

Gee-up surely.

 

[Hutty1986]

lol, poor little TT still crying so many bitter tears. Little bitch

 

[Mr Fourex]

Ben Creagh and Paul Gallen

I for one can see the similarities ....... :lol:

 

[wibble]

Yeah, 'cos Gallen always backs away from fights :roll:

Actually, no one is game to pick a fight with Gallen, and the powder puff Qld forwards certainly won't start. Gallen will roll through them. Again.

 

[SoftSydney]

I cant believe that soft coq Creagh got picked again, when will they learn that Steelers players arent SOO players.

Well on the bright side if he is picked to rotate with Paul Gallen, he might only get minimal game time with Paul Gallen being able to play the full 80 minutes in the front row.

I just don't understand how he gets picked ahead of Anthony Watmough though. Look at their stats from last season:

Ben Creagh played all 3 games last season and made:
40m in Origin 1 (0 tackle breaks)
73m in Origin 2 (2 tackle breaks)
65m in Origin 3 (0 tackle breaks)
For a total of 178m gained and 2 tackle breaks. Average of 59.33m gained and 0.66 tackle breaks.

Watmough played games 2 and 3 and made:
136m in Origin 2 (4 tackle breaks)
109m in Origin 3 (3 tackle breaks)
For a total of 245m gained and 7 tackle breaks. Average of 122.5m gained and 3.5 tackle breaks.

Watmough Injured. Come GameII if he's strong at club he will be in the side.

* SKIPPER Paul Gallen is expected to start the match in the front row with Ben Creagh to be used as front-row rotation from the bench;

FFS!!!! Watmough is injured!!!!!

 

[Hutty1986]

With Choc injured, Sims should have come straight in. Would have made a powerhouse bench, esp with Buhrer's lack of size. Creagh has had a very quiet year and his stats were deplorable for NSW last season. Ah well, looking forward to a big game from him.

 

[God-King Dean]

Gotta be a gee-up.

 

[Packy]

I can't see what Creagh will give us from the bench. I would understand a starting spot but surely Sims (un-injured Watmong) would be a better sub.

More importantly, if this tactic is true a f**kin prop would be handy. I wouldn't be upset if Luke Douglas was given a shot.

 

[Springs]

Honestly? Did he actually think that worked last year? If he does this Merrin will probably play 8 minutes again.

Why even rotate Gallen?
