On the news tonite up here in brissie... they mentioned Craig Gower was in doubt for the first SOO match and they have sent an S.O.S to Andrew Johns to play in it. Poor old matty... just isn't flavour of the month is he?
When does it end? Are they going to be sending SOS's to Johns 5 years into retirement? I think they're forgetting that SOO is also about blooding new players and letting them have a go at something they've been dreaming about for years. Pretty short-sighted by the ARL methinks..........
I'm pretty sure that isn't what Origin is about to be honest. But regardless, Joey has said no. Can I change my vote on the side of the screen? No longer think the Blues have a chance in hell.
sounds like the same thing that happened to gowie at twin waters only that time he grabbed the beaver

Some bloke over on the LU piss poor excuse for a forum has said that the one and only Michael Monaghan should get the gig for NSW halfback. I kid you not.
surprised it was his knee i thought he may have pulled out his penis muscle again al la 1998 Kangaroo Camp
Politely I would say that SOO is not about blooding new players - it is about winning. Blooding new players is on after you lose 2 nil - and I am sure Grahame Murray has no intention of that at this stage.
Well done to Beaver, Gower is now out of the next match against us. Gower, who had been in line to captain NSW if hooker Danny Buderus fails to overcome a back problem that has him in doubt, suffered the injury in a collision with Blues interchange forward Steve Menzies. The Penrith halfback was working on an inside play and, as Menzies came across field, the pair clashed legs.
