Ruben Garrick's chances of playing Origin

[Top End Eagle]

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

Oh yeah Staggs is pretty decent and so is Wighton. This is Cuthbo to the wing levels.

Brian Kelly???, no chance, way too many mistakes in his game for Origin, rate Campbell Graham though.

Brian Kelly hahaha

Once again, the ol’ black or white argument rears its head.

Realistically, he is not getting anywhere near SOO this year. But that doesn’t mean he is not improving and developing as a centre. I think he is above average in the position. In attack, he’d be somewhere near the top in terms of threat to the opposition. Defensively, he is doing OK. As a competitor and leader, he is right up there. There’s just a plethora of big game centres in front of him.

Garrick scored half our points last night!! Yeah but he’s useless according to some 🤣

Brian Kelly hahaha

I have never understood the praise that is continually afforded to Brian Kelly.

He'd struggle to read a blank sheet of paper and proved again last night, one great pass for a try undone by his inability to read the game.

He makes Michael Bani look like an immortal.

Hi @AndWeDon'tCare 100% agree on Brian Kelly. On another note, how are things looking on Fogarty?

It’s a shame because he is a great attacking centre at times but also error prone and one of the worst defensive centres in the NRL.

He is a great club player....and that is okay.

Unfortunately for him he is playing in an era where NSW are pretty stacked for talent in his position

Careful ... if Bozo sees that you've praised Kelly we will be in for 36 posts bagging him ... with 52 memes thrown in ...

 

[Fibro Eagle]

He is probably in the conversation but there are just a few in front of him
He has played for Australia ( prime minister’s X111 )
If selected I think he would go well

 

[Wombat64]

0% chance

 

[HoldenV8]

I'd love to see him get the chance to play Origin.

I just don't think his defence is ever going to get him picked though.

He is better than BK and Ramien is not the player he was, and Campbell Graham has still to return to his pre injury form but yes Best, Mitchell, Critta, Staggs and Turbo get the nod

I've just been told a decision is still pending from Jamal.

The Raiders are playing the "family card" as their ace and Jamal is genuinely torn about leaving due to the respect the Raiders have shown him over the years and how they are fighting to keep him.

We can't do much more than what we've done, again, the offer is a sound one given we are also in the market for a couple of other first grade players as well.

Well it might be on shaky ground after watching todays game.

Seeing how the side rallied around him and showed their support after he scored a late try.

And this posted a little while ago, might of been talking about the winning try, got a feeling its a cryptic message, they love him and he won’t be leaving, the last couple of weeks haven’t done us any favours and now they sit 3rd, with his upgraded offer and maybe the thought process they are building towards a genuine premiership shot, guess we’ll all know soon enough.

Just noticed the official raiders IG posted a video of Jamal scoring a try with the caption “sealing the deal”. Don’t tell me we dropped the ball here.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Good to read some positive stuff on Rubes.

Garrick cops way too much sh!t on here.

Any other club would love him.

… which manly player doesn’t cop a lot of sh!t on here!

Just sayin’

I'm sorry, I didn't see this post.

We haven't dropped the ball at all, however, as I alluded to earlier, the Raiders are doing their very best to keep him there.

Whilst Ricky has provided one of the best one-liners this week, stating that if Jamal were to leave, they'd be in the market for an "experienced" halfback to "mentor the younger kids through", you can also take it as gospel that if Jamal were to stay, there is one of those "younger kids" who would claim he was sold a dummy whilst he was negotiating his Raiders deal.

Watch the fallout on that front.

The offer is a great offer for Jamal to consider, so if he elects to stay, it won't be from the lack of trying and he is thoroughly torn as he is impressed by the Club.

Tough decision.

Fogarty would be a pretty good fit for Manly but not worth getting into a bidding war over.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

And Garrick is a very good player, I'm sure worse have got a run for NSW.
But a pretty hot field will make it hard for him to get the nod.
Maybe the Kangaroo tour is a realistic goal?
