He's the lunatic every State of Origin team needs.
Manly's Anthony Watmough returns to the NSW team for Origin II - angry, wild-eyed and ready to rip into anything wearing maroon.

On Watmough, I can't recall seeing him pinged for a high tackle. Unless that is just my memory playing tricks on me, it shows that he does have great discipline at least in one area. (Alternatively, his musclebound arms are just too heavy to lift above the horizontal.)

How come he nevers drops the watermelons that he carries under his arms?

Hmmm, maybe it's those watermelons that have made him drop all of those balls over the years.
 
His performance in Origin a few years ago I'd say was the best ever performance by a blues forward in Origin history. I think he needs to start and play at lock with a roving commission. If I was Stuart I'd tell Choc I don't want you to make 40 tackles, I want you to make 20 and make them all hurt. I'd also tell him to hunt Lockyer and JT and make them not want to go near it. Dump Creagh and let Choc go nuts for 80 minutes and the Blues will win. Can't wait til next Wednesday.
