Origin 2023

[innsaneink]

All the talk all week was NSW by how much….
I find it funny how many have come out of the woodwork to slam selections after the fact. Not many were concerned even a day ago.

All the talk was about nsw being bullied and how it would be back to the biff

BS

I agree with your second par

 

[Tucker]

What we need is a Gallen, Harrigan or Johns with at least half a brain and to make selections based on form.

If you are after half a brain, those three working together will do just fine.
Im pretty sure all three of those guys need help putting their pants on each morning.

 

[innsaneink]

I go on LU as well.
NSW whingers everywhere today sulking like bum smacked bitches. 2 days ago...arrogance as per normal.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself

 

[Siberian Kitten]

My team to maybe win the series, if the forwards can hold their own:

1 Edwards
2 To'o
3 Mitchell
4 Graham
5 Addo
6 Nicho
7 Cleary
8 Paulo
9 Api
10 Haas
11 Papali'i
12 Martin
13 Yeo
14 Burton
15 Pangai
16 Murray
17 Frizell
18 Young

I'd rather Papali'i play with the Tigers but NSW doesn't have as many quality second rowers as Qld.

Im right as rain, just sitting back and enjoying the show.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Turbo was rubbish , another poor call by coach to select him

Out of position. Couldn’t get into the match.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Out of position. Couldn’t get into the match.

There was no real flow in the backline, started out clunky and pretty much stayed that way for the whole night.

Papali'i is a Kiwi....... can't play for NSW.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

NSW Backline contained 73 caps, QLD Backline contained 49 with four of them having less than 5 games.

Are you seriously arguing the number of games is the superior selection criteria for origin?

 

[tig_prmz]

The correct decision is to drop Teddy. QLD made that decision by dropping Gagai and Ponga. No way in hell does Fittler have the balls to do that.

Hudson Young was a massive liability too. I like him so I hope he gets a second chance but it can't be this year. He blew his shot for this year.

 

[Odessa]

I was thinking exactly that when he slipped over letting Hammer through last night. Boyd was so hopeless as fullback in his last few years.

To be fair he has just carried his club form into origin

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

would go with backline of
1. Edwards
2. To'oa
3. Turbo
4. Latrell
5. Graham
6. walker
7. Cleary

pick one of yeo or Murray and play 80 mins
Probably bring cook on to bench and interchange with Api.
Drop Hynes
play Burton as the 14 as he can cover 6 and centre if need be

 

[Odessa]

Guys like. Cotter, Carrigan and Tino lead the defence. They never get tired. Amazing stamina.

I think they handle the pain better and just keep on pushing

 

[Odessa]

Tedesco most likely gets game 2 and if no better gets dropped for game 3

 

[Tucker]

Are you seriously arguing the number of games is the superior selection criteria for origin?

No. Im saying NSW had the more fancied backline

 

[Tucker]

There was no real flow in the backline, started out clunky and pretty much stayed that way for the whole night.

QLDs rushing defence did that.

 

[Halbrowne61]

would go with backline of
1. Edwards
2. To'oa
3. Turbo
4. Latrell
5. Graham
6. walker
7. Cleary

pick one of yeo or Murray and play 80 mins
Probably bring cook on to bench and interchange with Api.
Drop Hynes
play Burton as the 14 as he can cover 6 and centre if need be

All made sense JT until you said drop Hynes,
Based on a very short window ? Seems a little unfair and he can cover just as many positions as Burton.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Time to pick players on form... Something like this would be good:

1. Latrell
2. Addo-Carr
3. Graham
4. Turbo
5. To'o
6. Cleary
7. Hynes
8. Haas
9. Api
10. Jurbo
11. Olokuatu
12. Martin
13. Yeo

14. Burton
15. Stefano
16. Murray
17. Paulo
