State of Origin 2026

Literally had one picked last year.
Need our players to perform better if they want to be selected. May the only one worth considering and can see why many others would be considered ahead of him.

Unfortunately Origin and the GF still must be suffered on Nein with Johns, Fittler & sandpaper tonsils Lockyer talking about themselves and playing "pull my finger" while Thurston provides special comments for hyenas. Looking forward to missing most of the game due to regular crosses to Daley and Slater so they can talk about the commentators. Nein is an absolute flog fest.

Can be a destructive runner, a bit like Doueihi when he does decide to do it.

They want players that hurt the opposition----attack and defence. Terrell doesn't do either.
Just a solid toiler.

Storm right side defence is horrible...its what lost them the GF last yr. Burton and Xerri looked like superstars against them. Qld would easily handle Burton, all he has is that step, not a great short kicker or passer.
Sliding doors moments, if things had have stayed as they were a month ago, it would most likely have been Doueihi making his origin debut tomorrow night. He was shitting on both Strange and Burton form wise. Feel for the bloke, he’s had enough bad luck in his career already.
That said I do think Strange will make a great origin player, so here’s his chance to shine. Funny how some players just get the opportunities so quickly in their careers while others struggle for years to get that opportunity for some reason or other.

Payne Haas & Liam Martin both back for their clubs this weekend

That's interesting. You'd think you put Haas in at 90% even at Origin. We'll miss him tomorrow

It's going to be wet. Moses is a bad out. If we need a big boot to get out of trouble, Burto might be called up early unless Cleary can finally produce his club form when out of the Penrith system.

I didn't realise that Katoa was initially called up to replace Moses but he had a concussion

Why are journos calling Strange a big body? He doesn’t look big and is listed as 92kgs. Thats just normal isn't it?

News to me, I was actually going to comment that I would have picked Katoa over Strange. I think he could play that running 5/8 role.

Origin is so boring and miserable with NSW being coached by Laurie Daley. If a player lost as many series as Laurie has, he wouldn't get picked ever again. Lost 5 and won 1. The one he did scramble to win was basically down to a prime Jarryd Hayne.
He's demonstrably hopeless, with selection, tactics and preparation. Slater has his measure, easily. A typical free hit for QLD.

I cringe every time I hear him named as coach. 😵💫

He’s resigned himself to his fate. He knows this is his last series, win or lose.

If they pick AFB and play him from the bench, it will be very interesting..
If AFB starts, I expect his impact to be nullified.
However if he fires, ye gods.
Unfortunately not confident
Qld to win, and win well
