Well, with the team Freddie and his guys have picked, I can see a bananabender ambush coming on.

Players picked out of position, at least 1 2020 ghost at club level(IMHO Frizell didn’t turn up for the dragqueens this year) and a couple of injury concerns.

I’m Blue through and through but if the ‘toads are at a big price, if I was a betting man, then I’d be tempted to take a punt on a win for the hillbillies.

Yeah Frizell was useless in 2020, I'd say Cordner also shouldn't have beat out other second-rowers for the starting jersey. Then again QLD have Brenko Lee, Jake Friend, Sami, Hess. If NSW turn up at least at 50% they should clean house.

Speed kills! These are the Fox & Pap's highschool PBs. The Maroons have speedsters also in Brimson, Sami & Holmes (Game Two).

Bozo,

what's your problem with the third line of Queenslander!

They seem to be 2 short (like our wingers, lol) when compared to the other lines!

Outrage! haha

More Blues Bad News ......

NRL.com reporter Chris Kennedy
This is what Origin is all about and Queensland are right where they want to be – written off and with their backs to the wall.

Forget about the 13 years the Maroons were all but invincible and forget about the dominance of the free-wheeling Blues for the few years prior to that. This is Queensland in the '80s, this is the fabric of Origin.

Wayne Bennett and Mal Meninga at the helm, a group of players thrown together, some with less than a year in first grade, others plucked virtually from reserve grade.

The Blues won just two series in the first decade of Origin's existence and it's not because the Maroons had a superior team on paper every year.

NSW will rightly start favourites. They have won the past two series, they have the experience, they have the form, they have the depth. But Queensland have the history.

They have 1995, when Fatty's Nobodies sprung one of the greatest upsets in Origin history. Shredded by the absence of all their superstar Super League-aligned players, rookie coach Paul Vautin guided Queensland to a miraculous 3-0 series sweep.

They have 2001; coming off their worst-ever Origin loss they brought back Bennett and he turned the team list on its head with nine debutants, from future legend Petero Civoniceva to unheralded Cowboy John Doyle, from tyro Carl Webb to speedster Chris Walker, to engineer one of the most remarkable Origin series wins of all time.

That Bennett-Meninga combination is a potent one. Meninga was part of that incredible Maroons generation alongside Wally Lewis, Allan Langer, Vautin, Chris Close, Colin Scott, Greg Dowling and Greg Conescu before coaching the greatest Origin side ever to eight straight wins while Bennett only lost one more series from five after going down 3-0 in his 1987 Origin coaching debut.
A greater Origin coaching dream team you could not assemble.

And let's not forget this Maroons squad is better than people are giving it credit for. Yes, Kalyn Ponga and Michael Morgan head a host of unavailable backline stars, including likely starters Val Holmes (for game one) and Corey Allan plus Kyle Feldt, Corey Oates and Moses Mbye, which leaves the three-quarter line looking skinny.

But Cherry-Evans and Munster are the current Kangaroos halves, and Munster is one of five players in the starting 13 who just won a grand final with Melbourne.

Fullback AJ Brimson was one of the form players in the NRL through the second half of the season, Josh Papalii was the game's best prop this year, and the likes of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Lindsay Collins will bring the fire and brimstone.

There's an ambush looming.

The Maroon media is flying under the radar
They are not giving anything away off the field and the Passionate Maroon Players will be taking no prisoners on it

Maroons and Blues confirm their 19-man squads for Origin opener

Maroons and Blues confirm their 19-man squads for Origin opener

www.foxsports.com.au

It’s official the historic State of Origin series opener at the Adelaide oval is a sellout as the Maroons deal with some untimely injury scares to two backline stars.

Meanwhile Queensland’s plans for Wednesday night’s State of Origin opener have been hit by more drama, with coach Wayne Bennett revealing both Brenko Lee and Kurt Capewell are carrying injuries.

[HoldenV8]

This will be pretty much my view tomorrow night (just a bit to the right actually, more in line with the 20m line)

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Is it just me or does a State of Origin match happening tomorrow night , in the middle of November ( well they will be) just not seem kosher ??

This is ALL about $$$$ and the Chan 9 broadcast deal and little else.

 

[Leader of the Flock]

I agree Mark, it’s kind of difficult to get exited.

Plus, it’s in deadalaide, that’s worst that when it gets played in bleak city.

Depends on your PoV mate. Some of us have been waiting almost 30 years for this.....

Nice emojis HoldenV8, but I standby my sentiments. FYI, I once spent, what felt like a year in Adelaide, longest 8 weeks of my life.

Yup!

If they held one in Canada I too would go along to watch it, regardless of what others thought about the town it was being held in.

There'll be enough forward passes let go so it's appropriate for the game to be held at an afl ground.

Very happy you’ve finally got a “ home game “ over there , I was alluding to the time of the year more in my post !!

I haven't been interested for years Mark. Will still watch the game and support the blues, but usually get more excited over manly winning a club match then winning state of origin.

I just hope to watch an open style play game and some exciting moments. I hope blues win, but also enjoy watching DCE and all the Manly boys have good games the most, that confidence they get hopefully translates back into their club matches for Manly!
