Peter Moussa will need to pull the splinters out of Apis arse before Saturday

I couldn’t give a fark about origin. Glad Api had a restful evening.

API was down as player 20 , so way was he not allowed to play for us , SOO just stuffs teams around

Tucker · Jun 17, 2026

That was a great contest between Marky and Cobbo both would have had a hatrick against each other bar for a few blades of grass.

Tom Shines · Jun 17, 2026

How did Api go?

jadtiger · Jun 17, 2026

After that debacle Api will be dropped for the 3rd game,Daley will look at the stats and see he did not make a single tackle.

We’ve beaten you up the guts. He would have only contributed to that.

I would’ve hoped he’d help tighten up the guts somewhat, but you’re probably right. Better he didn’t get on for the shit show anyway.

Yeah, but in hindsight him getting a rest and us still beating the Titans will likely work out better for us in the long run.

You need to have one first

I wouldn’t be surprised if he forgets that he didn’t play him and actually doesn’t pick him for that exact reason

How is it rigged again?
The only reason we need a decider is due to a ridiculous send off.

That’s right that send off was part of the script…

Been watching origin for 30+ years
- I still can’t believe the Blues don’t respect the need for leg speed in the middle.

Did AFB use 2 interchanges to contribute about 10 minutes (again)
It’s hard enough without old Mr. Nice guy playing all the nice guys and keeping his mates happy…

AFB not even in the best 5 NSW props in the game. Terrell may NO1

Probably wouldn’t have made no difference to the result … but how can you not give him a go in that second half…

Taylan May
Bradman Best
McLean
latrell
turbo
Graham
all better centres than staggs

All these blokes have had serious/ long term injuries this season though. Best, McLean, Latrell were not available tonight.

After the first 2 games of the series he has to be favourite for the Wally Lewis medal

I’d rather start Egan bring api on for impact off the bench

Brailey has been named for the sharks this week. If Brailey gets through unscathed he’ll be back for Origin 3. They won’t pick both Brailey and Api.
