If Tahu is in the Origin team it will be because the NSW selectors are afraid of being branded racists.

He wasn't even in the top 6 centres in the NSW aligned NRL centres before Origin 1 and his up and in defence is so poorly executed he gets found out every single week in the NRL. He is overhyped rubbish and should remember that Johns talking him up to Bellamy is the only reason he probably got selected in the first place.

As an aside with the close following of Weidler would it suprise anyone to see a Tahu/Mundine joint press conference coming up soon

Scott over Lawrence Sirro. That is like picking Ross Conlon ahead Ettinghausen in my book.

Apart from that, and Luke Lewis, I like your team a lot.

Apart from Sutton, Hindmarsh and Lewis that is a good squad.

U dont rate Lewis? I think he's looked sensational at Origin level. I cant believe how good he is.

 

[system]

Lewis would be my first choice bench utility.

I understand the choice of him at starting lock though

 

[Marshall_magic]

Why does the utility player have to come off the bench? If the utility is good enough to go 80 I don't see why they shouldn't.

 

[TIGER]

Sutton? Phleease.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Sutton is the biggest defensive liability for Souths. Thurston and Darren would make him look very silly.

He does however offer abit in attack, but wouldn't Bird be better if you are looking at a strong robust 5/8?

If your looking at Souths, you can't go past Champion….

 

[stryker]

You blokes have to be kidding picking Galloway….With the amount of footy he has played this year and the quality of what he has produced he will be eaten alive at Origin level.

I think Greg Bird is a must as is Heighno and Farah. I'd leave Lawrence out this year - his attack isnt good enough. I expect him to come good in the back half of the season and make the tri nations, there's just a few things he has to work on...ball handling being the top of the list. Lewis has to be there as well.

Yeh not a big fan of Lewis. I havent seen any origin this year though and only caught one game last year. I just find Lewis to be a rather limited player. That being said, he has always caused us a few problems.

Who are Qld gunna pick to replace the AFL bound Izzi….

Nothing like putting up big bombs for him to showcase their game in our showcase....

Love the Queenslanders always happy to do their bit for Rugby League...

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Izzy will be picked.

The only reason they picked him in game 2 is because NSW's said they couldn't….
