He played for the Kangaroos last year and was Fing awful. Hopefully he can turn that around.
No Teddy, No Latrell, No Api…brave decisions Madge.

Yeah, have to agree re Tedesco. I really don’t like the guy, and would be happy to see him axed, but he’s in top form this season, is the incumbent player and captain, and there was no reason to drop him. Would’ve had Luai at halfback and not risked having Hynes named in the squad with his recent injuries.

I wonder how stubborn he’ll be if the Blues get rissolled G1.

Don't know how you could have empathy for him 😀
Nsw, strong bench
Hynes is a risk and Keary loves Queensland.
Not ideal but the cupboard is bare.
Robson in for Api is a mistake.
Teddy out for Edwards is an interesting move.
Can't see this team winning the series.
Looking forward to seeing the Qld team.

Wasn't it Madge that signed Api for us? How is not selecting Api payback? Surely it helps us?
Yeah we've got a better idiot now, Todd.

Looks incredibly worn out and frustrated most weeks.
Yep, and he's got the advantage of a great CEO. I reckon Maguire would love to be coaching us with Richo here.

Maybe in 2026. Nobody wants Benji’s job right now.

Let’s hope McInnes doesn’t leave his teeth in the sheds….Madge is clueless

Very surprised NSW didn't pick a bench utility
Official 2024 QLD team
That team is scary good.
I don't think he is clueless.
NSW and Madge have a number of walk-up starters out with injuries.
Some players excel at Origin level. Api, Trell and Teddy should be in that team.
Madge has gone low risk with a team of strong tacklers Jake T, Robson, Mciness lead the league in tackling.
Biggest issue is the halves Hynes crumbles in big moments and when pressured. NSW only chance is Luai as the primary half not second fiddle.

Api has missed an average of 5 tackles with 2 ineffective per game for us this year.
Robson is defensively dependable with missing less than 3 tackles a game and just over 1 ineffective tackle a game.
That is statistically speaking.
From an observation point of view, Api is a weak defender in the middle and constantly is over powered by opposition forwards.
I understand 100% why they are not going with him.

As a Tigers fan im glad APi wasnt selected.
As an Api fan im disappointed for his career stats.
I bet Api cant wait for his mate Luai to come to the Tigers so he too can miss origin next year.
