As a WT fan, do you prefer not to have players selected for origin?

Part of me is glad that we dont have any WT players selected for origin. No
Risk of injuries and no loss of player roster.. I think playing for yout state is an honour but personally i am glad we dont have and origin players in our team. Origin series wins are barely rememered premierships are not.

Im glad it makes our best players play better each year eg. Robbie farah, chris lawrence and big keithy i think it really drives them. They are unlucky every year but im not complaining with having our full side not having to be missing a few players or having them back up a few days later…

You'd think having the current Australian coach we'd have at least just one teeny weeny widdle player in Origin.

I want what the players would want, they all wanna compete at the highest level.

We are somewhat of a touch footy, fancy boy pretty team….someones responsible for that and has been for some time , you can blame him for us not having any Origin players.
 
Its a two edged sword. Kinda branded good for the footy wt can produce but ridiculed for no soo selections. I dont thinks it makes us any less of a team. Especially with what wt acheived in 2010

In one way I am glad that all our players are available for WTs due to not being picked in SOO, however it must be good for player development and confidence to get picked in SOO and I'm sure all players have this as a goal during their careers, so if any of our players are ever picked I would be glad for them (just don't get injured!!).
 
I think it would better we get players selected for Origin . I think a mentality will begin where if you play for the Tigers no matter how you play you don't get picked for Qld or NSW Players who are origin stars or near origin stars won't sign to join with us because they can't further their representative career
 
Definitely behind the boys selections if for no other reason than they return to us as a more professional player.
 
Why would you not want they playing in origin. Big game experience, something that will lift them and give them a lift during the season.

Besides having a full squad at this time of year isn't going to help you when the finals matches come around - big game experience is what will give you that edge
 
Soo experiance is great but my point is winning more games during origin period at full strength to ensure a top 4 finish

Forget experience its about team building. Origin players attract other players. If we had some we might be able to get someone decent in the nrl for less than 500k and wouldnt have to go to england all the time. The disruption in middle of the season is a small price to pay.

That would be great if it was actually happening!
 
SOO is what all players want to achieve & as a fan i'd be proud for them to get there. Esp. for our boys that really want to be part of Origin, i feel for them not being picked, seeing it's blatant that WT are the only team not involved(must do their head in some what), can't help their confidence. I'd rather them be in SOO(not injured, of course) for that short amount of time than lose all we have to injury.

I'm not so sure Shaneo,

I think this is the reason for the Robbie Farah form Rut.

He missed out on Origin and he has been off ever since. This isnt just an objective assessment, His Dream team stats tell us that he as an individual is running and kicking less…

I would like Origin Players in my Tigers Team however at the moment I dont think we have any that are worthy.
 
i think once a player plays origin he reaches a new level in his career and becomes a better player - this is important in semi final football - so im not happy no wests tigers gets picked -
