Origin selection discussion thread

@willow said:
Watch that NSW side get pumped again. Seriously poor form that no Tigers were selected, but hopefully they will be smarting and stick it to the Broncos on Friday night. Heighno, Farah and Lawrence can all feel hard done by IMO.

The next 3 weeks the boys get their chance to stick it to Queensland, and show the NSW Selectors where they went wrong…

Will you all be cheering for Qld??? :wahoo:
 
In a way Im glad that we can send out all of our available players this week for the Broncos game. But really what a kick in the guts for a bloke like Heighno!
 
No Heighno. No Lawrence. No Farah.

I hope NSW get smashed. It's the only way to:
1\. Get a change of player roster;
2\. Have the selectors sacked; and
3\. Get rid of an underwhelming cheat who coaches.
 
we can take solace in the fact win lose or draw bellamy is gone.. can't get rid of these shitty selectors though =(

The NSWRL have hired a Qlder to head an independent enquiry… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I can here Brian now "no....I think you are all doing a great job..."
:deadhorse:
 
Honestly, its no wonder i'm seeing so many NSW fans turing to QLD. At least their selectors can pick a in form side. QLD by 18 in game 3.
 
I wish Pearce was more honest and outspoken, it would be killing him that no Tigers are there.
They asked him on Fox Sports what he thought and of course he says its a pretty good side.

Junior is to nice!
 
The good
Michael Gordon: For me this guy has been the poster child for underrated footballers. Has plenty of pace, and is actually a winger
Michael Jennings: Finally we have a centre who can score a try in the side.
Tim Mannah: I rate this kid highly too, plenty of talent
Kade Snowden: Earned himself a shot in the big dance, hope he goes well

The Bad
Beau Scott: He's sh*t, plain and simple
Trent Barrett: I think he's a good player, but it's a dead rubber and he's retiring at the end of the year, put Carney or someone who's going to get a gig next year there
Jason King: If he's the guy that's supposed to save our forwards, Qld will pass St George's 11 in a row (by then hopefully queenslanders will have learnt the difference between 11-0 and 11 in a row, not holding my breathe though)
 
listening to the game tonight it just shows why robbie will never again get Origin. Sterlo loving the fact the Ennis is niggling the opposition and notletting it effect his game, of rthis reason alone Ennis will be picked as he is a snidey grub
 
Disgraceful, just disgraceful. How can a tem running third in the comp not get a single player in the SOO. What a joke the selection process is. Bird as lock not 5/8 (Barrett won’t be there next year), leaving out Heighington. What an insult.

mate ennis is showing how built for origin he is tonight…he is getting steamrolled defensively and ive yet to see him run from dummy half...mean while his dumb niggling saw him miss an opportunity to pounce on a loose ball...

the man is built for origin

and beau scott LMAO.........

King, Jennings and Ennis were the poor selections. I'm pleased with the rest.

Jennings? - I couldn't believe he wasn't in the last 2 games. He & Hayne always looked like they were going to score points in 2009…
 
i dont care if he has been playing french rugby they should of picked gasnier….or anyone other then beau scott.... that selection alone shows the incompetency of the selectors
 
I was expecting at least a token selection, a bit like Prince getting picked for Australia after we won in 2005\. In some ways I am relieved that none of our players are wasted for NSW but it is really quite insulting too…
 
The Team is trending postitivly.

Barret Gone for 2011 - Nice Send off for him.

Next year add Farah and Lawrence IF their for warrants it from Game 1 and we may be on to something competitive at least.

And Finally - I am very happy for young Timmy from the eels. A great young man from a great family. He will rip in at every opportunity Guaranteed. Well done Mate.

Who knows I will now probaby go to Game3
 
i seriously want to know the thought process behind beau scott being selected along with barrett and barrett being named captain?

lawrence
champion
morris

are 3 off the top of my head that are way more effective then scott… i mean seriously do they think queensland is laughing their butt off at that selection

then you have barrett

soward and bird have been better 5/8ths then him this year by a long way....what a joke
