Great to see Chambers' talents finally being recognised on this forum. This time last year he was "just made to look good by playing for the storm". Definitely proved lots of people wrong since then
Tupou and hoppa out for bmorris and mansour (if he gets thru next 2 weeks ok ). Fifita for Gallen. Jackson for Lewis. Jennings out, Dugan centre, Moylan fullback. Nsw lack creativity, Moylan gives them that.
Mal has said he plans to send gagai home tomorrow. Slater is a certain starter, but Hodges (foot laceration) and Inglis (tonsilitis) still carry some doubt
You know something we dont or just guessing? Im hoping you are right and slater is good to go, but him pulling out of the test match with the same injury is concerning.
I have to laugh everytime that Tate "punch" picture comes out. In reality, tate went to punch him, decided against it (coz hes not a massive ****) and ended up just pushing his fist against him.
Channel 7 reporter just tweeted this
Ben Davis @BenDavis74 6m6 minutes ago BREAKING: DCE out of #origin1 @NewsTalk4BC DRIVE LIVE from @QLDmaroons training
Apparently morgan was 19th man so if they go with a utility i daresay...
Where did you see that? Everything i have read so far has suggested morgan is 19th man and will be there to replace DCE
anyway, smith doesnt come off unless injured, so mcguire playing hooker wont happen. a 4 forward bench is a good thing imo. we dont need a half on the bench
FTR, i have never pushed for taylor to be in the squad after we saw how he was used. I only ever said he should be there IF he was allowed to play his natural game. There is no point picking a player like him if you arent going to use him right. Thats why i think papalii would be a better...
@Broncoman i would love to know why JMorris is an automatic selection. He was absolutely useless all year for the dogs in 2014 and hasnt done a great deal in 2015. Sure, he played decent in 1 of the games last year, but there are better options out there.
As a qlder i would make rather our...
Who are you talking about?
Also, let me clarify. I dont agree with how mal has used taylor, papalii and gillett. When i said "There is no room for backrowers will ball playing or offloading skills in Mal's game plan.", that was not how i feel we should play. That was just me stating how i...
You think hes going to be utilized any differently in Origin tho? No way. Mal expects his forwards to run hard and tackle, thats it. There is no room for backrowers will ball playing or offloading skills in Mal's game plan. Gillett / Papalii / Taylor have all be used the wrong way and just...
I am loving the NSW 1 - 7. Dugan is literally the only player in that back 5 that worries me, but even then, he should be in the centres so Moylan can be fullback. Tupou is only there to catch bombs. He has a poor work rate and cant create things. Hopoate is just so overrated its funny. Had...
No idea how Gillett got picked, especially considering Papalii and Cooper's form the last month. Both are on fire while most games I cant even remember seeing Gillett. He has done nothing for the broncos this year.
Luckily the nsw selectors are dumber than ours and made more, far worse calls
I don't want to see smith suspended, but come on, he knew someone was there and he knew he was kicking them. He may not have for the first kick, but once it connected with Luke's face, he knew he was kicking someone and he continued to do it.
Hopefully nothing comes from it though
First game ive been impressed with Milford as a 6. Showed promise tonight. However, his defence is shocking. 3 tries where Morgan beat him 1 on 1. He pretty much cost us the game with his defence on the line. We need to hide him better.
Blair is just so shit. I cant say much more. I was...
