Ruben Garrick's chances of playing Origin

[EagleFromMay1967]

Why is our champ point scorer and all round good centre never considered for the Blues. Is it that he is not big enough, not tough enough ? Cause he would be great for the Blues as Rh centr or wing.

Comments pleeze.

If he stayed on the wing he probably would of

 

[bob dylan]

I can answer that.

He is barely a first grade player without the goal kicking.

 

[TJ55]

Eagle playing well

 

[eaglebuzz]

He's good in attack, it's his defense that lets him down

Good to read some positive stuff on Rubes.

Garrick cops way too much sh!t on here.

Any other club would love him.

 

[Ohgeez]

I’m not a fan of him at centre but credit where it’s due he was good in attack (like usual) but more impressed with his defence. But origin? realistically you are never picking him over Latrell, Critta or Turbo in centre for origin

100% agree.

Great player - I think Origin would be a bit too physical for him.

 

[Phobia]

He's missed like one or two try-causing tackles this year. People are acting like he's Casey McClean, and there's just a gaping hole there. For a first grade centre, and particularly one situated against the direction of most attack in the NRL, he's done very well and has improved.

Lol, Mal Meninga disagrees with you (but Mal doesn't know that much so all good)

Dumbass

Guys a great player! Competitive and tough. He's come along way from getting rag dolled around. He is built for origin even if it's on the wing. Surrounded by all those gun players would only improve his game

As a winger, most definitely.....see Lomax as proof.

As a centre, absolutely not. See our penchant for playing better fullbacks at centre, to shoehorn them into the team.

 

[Hibyemama]

my favourite player Ruebs.
he tries his guts out every match. gets the team out of trouble with his runs from inside our 20m zone and chases every bomb by DCE with Gusto, and a terrific goal kicker. 💕💕💕 If I was a sheila, Ill marry him 🤣🤣

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Ruben has even less chance of playing Origin than Reuben does

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

and chases every bomb by DCE with Gusto, and

At first I thought you said with Gutho, I though what the??? lol 🤷‍♂️

 

[Golden Greek]

Unfortunately I cant see him ever getting a look in, just too many bigger names ahead of him in the role of centre or wing or even goal kicker

 

[robbiea]

Good player , but not origin good.

Or Best, Ramien, Campbell Graham, Brian Kelly,...I could go on, throw that drug cheat from the dogs in there
