Geeze, Manly may need to cut him.
He is still dangerous for them but value for money is in the toilet.

A couple years back I really thought NSW would dominate Origin for many years. Funny how things have changed so quickly.
I like Stef also. But unless someone can instill a bit of mongrel into him, we'll end up with another Sharon Woods on our hands.

You’ve shown you have zero understanding of the issue. Thomas Mayo’s opinion is irrelevant in the context of the legalities and constitutional limitations of the amendment proposal.

You were still jibbering!!! That’s sweet.
I’ve been busy living.
And you reckon I didn’t get to you Debbie?
Anyway cheer up, it’s good for ya ticka.
Before game 1 he was injured but not since and his been playing for souths
Origin teams must be picked on current form. No has been players or guys on reputations from years gone by.
Sounds cruel but to start with, we should never have selected Teddy, Turbo, JAC, Luai, Murray (not 100% fit) or Uto (sad but true). As for Fittler and co., as a coaching group they are miles behind Slater, JT, Smith etc.
Sorry to say but QLD have it all over us in players, coaches, desire, hunger, attitude and everything else it takes to win SOO.

Had a chat with Nicho Hynes manager Adam Purcell last night. Said Nicho won't play SOO again while Freddy is coach because he spoke up about the Penrith connection and the boom box, gangster vibe in camp. Other players dislike the fact it's become a Penrith all in. Nicho is ultra professional in his preparation and thought the SOO camp was a dick measuring comp rather than a bonding excercise. Let's see what happens with the new coach.
I normally treat these kinds of post with a very large grain of salt but I have to say your post has a ring of truth about it. I can see Freddy and Johns buying into that crap but I thought Alexander had more sense. One of the things that really turns me off about today's football is the whole 'gangsta' vibe me have going on.

I saw a news report I think on Tues before the game... A shot of Too' bringing the portable beat box to training.
Thought to myself that was a bit selfish Sorta forcing everyone to listen to that.
What if they didn't want to?
What if they rather focussed without music in the b/ground?
Had a bad feeling after seeing that
I would have brought my Best of the 60s compilation CD set.

Gday garbage guts. Still sooking I see.
Cop your licks and move on….or I suppose you can bore us some more with your delightful stories of you and the Mrs stuffing your faces as you work your way round the country.
I’ll be talking footy.

The club connection idea in Origin is a myth. It works for Qld players because they are Queenslanders first and Broncos, Cowboys, Titans and Dolphins second.
But non-Ausralian Penrith players are Islander or Panthers first and NSWers second - and they reserve their most passionate performances for their nation and their club team, not for NSW.
That's why a Penrith/NSW team will always be worse than Penrith. Pick Penrith players if they are the best in the position but don't pretend that the club connection will translate like it does for Qlders.
If we are to win, we need to be better players than them, and to have a coach who can organise a team. NSW has looked less organised than Qld throughout Freddy's time, and our wins have either come from individual brilliance or dead rubbers.
