Thanks Innk….

I reckon my team better then all of yas! :smiley:

1\. Hayne
2\. B Morris
3\. Lawrence
4\. Jennings
5\. J Morris

6\. Carney (gk)
7\. Pearce

8\. Weyman
9\. Farah
10\. Snowden
11\. Gallen
12\. Hindmarsh ©
13\. Heighington

14\. Douglas
15\. Mannah
16\. Leahroyd-Lars
17\. Gidley (Would be Lewis if he wasnt suspended)

Point points points!
If we're any chance to win we need points.
With the sides the selectors pick we need 60% possession just to sneak a win which hardly happens.
 
The one thing I noticed when watching the news this evening is that players talk up rivalries to the media until they catch on and it gets more press for them.

I remember rivalries as something born on the Origin paddock and left there. Guess you have to manufacture something that looks like passion.

Funniest thing of all is that Brett White still isn't training and recouping an ankle injury. It's not enough this numpty hasn't got the skill or mongrel with the ball in hand of a brace of props not selected but he also goes into camp injured. Thanks Bellamy you favourite playing mong
 
when i look at the line up and see beau scott as a starting centre i still think im in a nightmare, there is no way he is in the top 4 centres for NSW, its a sick joke ….its gotta be

I agree with you totally mate, in fact Scott is the main reason why I hate the team they selected.
 
Craig Bellamy is hilarious, he oughta be on the Footy Show in the stand-up comedian section:

Dropping Gidley to the bench 'doesn't diminish his standing' in the team! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

and 'he's a valuable captain anywhere.' In Origin 3 we are going to sit him in the grandstand with an esky of beer and he can captain from there! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Go on Craig, you slay me, now tell us again the one about how you didn't know the Storm was rorting the salary cap!

Smacks of nepotism doesn't it Smeg?

You ask Bellyache or the selectors though… He's there for "mongrel" cause he's "built for origin." Anyone who refutes that statement (i.e. that fraud Rothfield,) trots out the "just ask Steve Price how tough he is" line.

The guy was picked purely cause he belted a pensioner. Try trading blows with Thaiday or Scott next time...

White has a terrible technique. For starters if you cant use both fists you cant fight...simple...he got lucky with Price.

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that NSW are going to win game 2\. It can well and truly be assumed that QLD are no longer the plucky underdogs… And it must be said that they struggle with being favorites.

This is true mate…however they are now angry and out for blood...could be a whole new set of problems for NSW

That's is the great, great shame of what Andrew Johns has now done. Wednesday could've actually been one on those great encounters in Origin History. Before Joey stuffed everything up it was shaping up as the moment in time where NSW had to either win or face oblivion. If I was a Coach and had a say I would've been looking for a bit more Uplifting Oratory along the lines of Henry V, Winston Churchill, Rocky Balboa… ya know... Once More unto the Breech and all that sort of stuff...We shall fight them on the beaches...Braveheart... take ya pick...

But Instead we have a cheat in Craig Bellamy having the NSW team take wrestling lessons and a guy like Joey Johns taking the young chaps in the team aside and telling them to nail the black c*nts. Its just not good enough. Its certainly not worthy of all the great NSW Players that came before them. The whole premise of what this Series was supposed to mean has now been hijacked by ignorance and stupidity. Now when the players take the field on Wednesday its going to be a match dominated by racial suspicion and innuendo. In a game that has recently been unfairly tainted by Salary Cap Cheats, Drugs and Sexual Abuse...State of Origin represented the last bastion of Rugby League that hadn't been somehow lessened by Crisis and Controversy. Until Now

Which is a great shame.

But Origin has always had the ability to surprise us and to be able to survive when no one expects it to.
 
Crisis….how soon people forget Robbie Kearns falling of a horse....

Come on NSW just beat the toads...they make me sick.... :deadhorse:

You not supposed to lick their backs Geo. They can make you really really sick… :righton:
 
I couldnt help but have a bit of a chuckle when I read this comment from Macarthy when they were saying how offended they were with Meninga's comments:

"We pick the best players in their positions"

:laughing: :laughing:
 
I tried to watch the 30 Years of Origin special last night.

Watching Creagh running away from Justin Hodges was enough to make bed a better option.

He is "Origin Tough" though apparantly
