If Kemp can't make his own team, regardless of the reasons, he should not be playing for SOO. Michaels shouldn't even be playing for the Broncos, let alone origin. Sailor offers experience, but may be too slow. Tonga is not consistent either.
What about Walker?
I had emphasised this point before SOO when selections were announced. I believe his impact is great in a winning team, but he generally has nothing to offer.
Can't believe no one mention how great Ashley Harrison was. He did everything that was asked of him. Like Gould said, he is not a...
Did you hear that the Post Office has had to recall their latest stamps?
They had pictures of NSW players on them. People couldn't figure out which side to spit on.
Did you hear about the politician who was found dead in a NSW shirt?
The police had to dress him up in women's underwear in...
I was born in NSW and moved up here when I was 11. I am now 28. Does that make me a blue? I have been here for 60% of my life. To me if Queensland is a good enough place to live, to enjoy the lifestyle, the people, the climate and so on, then it should be good enough come origin time. I...
I live in Mackay, and there are tons of Broncos fans up here. Not just Cowboys fans. Not all of them are miners from Brisbane either, but many that supported Brisbane before the Cowboys came into the comp.
And how can population not be a factor when concerning crowds? That is one of the...
Agree. If they lose it is because of loss of players or a bad attitude. Poor attitude does happen quite often, and I do fear it happening to Qld, because it has so many times before. If they go out expecting to win, they will be in for a nasty shock.
Berrigan being a great example. He has amazing strength for someone that wasn't that big.
However, having two utilities on the bench does raise the issue of a light bench. They do not have a back rower on the bench at all. Wing is past it and while Luke Lewis is a great utility, he is not a...
Agree with the article. I am not suprised with the two referee system slowing down Melbourne's game. Maybe they should change their game. Tackling and then wrestling on the ground is getting ridiculous and now that there is an extra ref, a lot of this type of stuff seems to have stopped...
Pretty much agree with the sentiments above, though Hunt has proven he can play lock (and did so in his younger days, correct me if I am wrong).
Thaiday should be used out wide to provide as much impact as possible. Very happy with the team, a little sad for Kenny, but there may not be room...
How the hell did Weyman get selected? He is very overrated and the only thing he can tackle is a meat pie, fat heap of shit.
Waterhouse, Laffranchi, both unlucky as is Monaghan.
Why not Luke Lewis?
A perfect example being Melbourne last year. Melbourne were so dominant but coming into finals they had nowhere near the intensity and skill that Manly did. Manly were improving with every game, but Melbourne were lucky to win most of theirs.
I wonder where the dogs and dragqueens will be...
I think Thaiday is being played wrong. He is doing all the hard work up the middle, which is what Sims, Te'o, Clinton should be doing. Thaiday should be running wide as that is where most of his impact comes from. He is an impact player, and should be used as such.
Dave Taylor just proved...
