Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2681665, member: 1899"] The NRL refuses to make Origin a stand-alone weekend so we're left with this. Now, the one thing all these teams have in common is that they don't traditionally have a large Origin contigent. If anything, it benefits them because they only have to supply one or two players, while keeping the bulk of their roster. Not to mention look at the games they're involved in... Rabbitohs vs Eels Tigers vs Cowboys Tigers vs Rabbitohs Eels vs Storm Panthers vs Rabbitohs Tigers vs Eels Half of them are against each other with only one really being to the disadvantage of the team. Now going into this season I thought for sure the Rabbitohs would have a higher contingent in Inglis, Walker & Reynolds with the possibility of Johnston, Keary and MAYBE Stewart but they've been lucky to that extent. The rest were always only going to give up a player or two and if anything were the pool sharks of those rounds ala Warriors or even the Dragons in years gone by. The solution is simple, schedule the Origin weekends as stand-alone representative weekends but the game is content on making these silly sacrifices that ultimately just hurt the credibility of the competition.
