State of Origin 2026

[tig_prmz]

Interesting that QLD has picked defensive second rowers and NSW has picked attacking ones. I don't know if our backrowers can do effort on effort defensive sets.

Ashley Klein announced as ref... Screw this.

Put money on the game being close, he will manipulate it to make sure it's not a blow out.

Honestly the most bias ref I've seen

Klein will get QLD a win if he can.

The team that has momentum early will get rorted until half-time, then the whistle gets put away for the second half. Same script as last year. KPI's achieved and Rugby League is the winner. Welcome to the entertainment industry, although allegedly it is sport.

Gunna be a very wet one

Kicking games of.both teams will be crucial

Biggest boot in the halves belongs to Moses. NSW shouldn’t be disadvantaged there, but the hard working defensive team will enjoy the wet conditions more.

Just checking are we the only team without a rep in origin? Again lol

Tigers players will rarely get picked for origin with these selectors

You have to go back to the Tigers teams of the mid to late 80's to get much of a representation in State or National sides,at one stage Balmain almost fielded the Australian pack.I would at least like to see us get a couple in the NSW side in the next 2 years.

Moses in doubt with a calf strain.

Interestingly, they brought in Burton instead of Luai as cover

 

[innsaneink]

Just heard that too

 

[innsaneink]

Hopefully burton plays and gets smashed

 

[hank37w]

Shame Gagai's not playing, he could of bashed the crap out of Burton while that filthy grub Tino held him.

Anyhow what ever it takes to wipe him out for a week.

Should have never allowed SMH to write that article where he said he is looking forward to finally playing a full origin series. Burton also gives them cover for Critta at center. I still think Luai is battling a knee injury and will prob take some time off when AD is back.

And that could be Xmas TE, all our injuries are being handled very quietly so there is no exact indication of who’s back when.
Once again, 4 pm tomorrow will be an important time to see if we can beat the Dogs or not. As I’ve said before, I think there is one more loss in us before the
bounce back starts !

Burton’s kicking game equal if not better/bigger as Moses.
If it’s wet and slippery very much needed.

Not sure whether Strange will start, Burton into 19.

Still prefer Moses overall kicking to Burton

 

[GNR4LIFE]

What does Burton have going for him other than having a big boot.

Its nowhere near better
His huge bombs cause trouble but Moses is THE best kicker in the game...none better
