State of Origin 2023

[Kiwi Eagle]

I’d be surprised if Jake wasn’t allowed to play for Manly this week, completely different kettle of fish between not being able to prepare for a rep game between a club game where he is already embedded into the systems etc

Leota plays for the kiwis

Ha, that will do it so

Leota plays for the kiwis

He played one test for Samoa, so NSW could argue that way 🤭

Origin is in the air!!!!!

Titans skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is free to play Origin Game One after receiving a monetary fine for a Grade One Dangerous Contact offence in Sunday's loss to the Bulldogs.

lulz

Great to see Tommy make the origin team. He's been a bit down on confidence but showed glimpses of his best yesterday. Origin should do him the world of good. Hopefully he will have a blinder of a series.

He will, and then come back busted.

It's good to be positive. Turbo has played in three Origin campaigns (all successful) without being injured.

 

[The '47ers]

Campbell Graham has withdrawn, injury

Campbell Graham out, Crichton in.

It's a joke that TPJ has been selected to play for NSW. The bloke went on record more than once saying he supports QLD. Jack De Belin would have been a much better pick and has a high work rate. Junior and TPJ dud selections IMO

This is the sort of anecdote that continues to build the narrative of Queenslanders having more passion for the game. There is no way Qld would have selected him if the situation was reversed.

Luai was the same with Qld, but you can keep him too 🤭

Fittler has gone for size. Paulo, Pangai and Haas are huge props so I suppose he figures he'll batter queensland's pack into submission. He has even opted for the giant Utoikamanu as a 19th player so for Fittler size does matter.

Thank you @rj90 for posting the Great QUEENSLADER Soldiers of SOO War squad

This is the Great Queensland Squad Selected to Slaughter the NSW Blue Sheep

The NSW Blue sheep at training near the Abattoirs
and getting ready to be Slaughtered once again

QUEENSLANDER !!!

 

[tookey]

The only thing I saw Hudson-Young do yesterday is get pushed over by Keppie

Went missing

With a name like that he should be playing for the waratahs

 

[Disco]

Play Stefano over TPJ

Such a weird selection

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Fittler is going to be either a genius or sacked after selecting Pangai Jnr. I haven't watched many of his games but he can dominate a game for about 6 minutes, then ... that's it.
Maybe he's improved while I wasn't watching.
