Trbojevic set to pull out of Origin and Brandy admits it ‘would be a big blow’ for NSW

[HK_Eagle]

Again, Tom’s body is taking longer to heal than expected. I’m trying not to be negative, but this guy’s body is already pretty knackered for a young man. Very concerning for us (Manly) moving forward.

He makes Foz look like the bionic man. At least Foz got some good years in before things started falling apart.

I’d almost rule Jake out on form. He will make the side for his defence, but that’s about it.

Almost...but he'll no doubt enjoy being in a winning side for a change.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jake will be picked on reputation because he surely couldn’t be picked on form.

Although I’m not sure you can blame him for that rather than the rest of the lazy pricks around him!!

Thank God you outlined the specifics otherwise I would of been confused.. considering were on a manly forum and all

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

The best part of this story is those two Penrith locals/Northern Beaches’ residents, Adolf Ittler and Alex Gregander, have been blindsided by Tom’s withdrawal.

It's funny but who are the lazy pricks responsible for that sh*t defense. Was it Taupau, Levi, Keppie, Paseka, AFB, Thommo, Waddell, Gosi, Siro, Jake himself. Or was it the backs Elliot, Croker, Cust DCE, Parker, Suli, Harper, Garrick, Taufua, Funa, Hoppa Jr. I think they were all responsible. The whole damn lot of them didn't operate as an effective team. It was Oblivion.

I'm sure I'm a lone voice here but I feel that Levi has been unfairly blamed for the team's poor form. For me he always seemed to be trying his best. I think fellow fans' opinions have been coloured by the fact that he is not as good a player as The Blade Runner or Api, two exceptional hookers that we lost in 'unusual' circumstances.
Who are the players that improved this season? Tent and Turbo (when he was on the field) definitely... Funa and Harper proved to be good discoveries, and that's about it, imo. Most of the others went backwards or marked time.

First week of the finals and all the media has been about the Origin series. Moving Origin to after the grand final is hopefully not going to become normal.

To be fair,Origin talk starts after Round 1 every year anyway

Means that 3rd Party payments and salary cap rorting doesn't make the news?

I tend to agree. At times he lacked vision, but he tried - no doubt because he needed to secure his future.

The NRL is the only sport in the world where the media don't actually discuss the game itself.

His form is due to how he’s being played at club level. You watch him be one of the Blues best again this series.

The last emotional call I saw on video (re footy) was Bronson Xerri phoning his mum that he's debuting in first grade.

I hope Zac goes better that how Bronson's turned out!! (which I'm sure he will)

I'm waiting for the tearful phone call from Big Sam to his mum . . .
