Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2306307, member: 2107"] State of Origin is perhaps the one thing RL has over other sports in this country. A match where teams consisting of generally the best players in the game in Australia facing off against each other. If they are trying to use this as a bargaining tool to keep players in the game (which it appears they are), then they need to stick by the decision, otherwise it makes a mockery of it. Any high profile player will still know he'll get picked regardless if their is no suitable replacement, which could potentially be fairly often if it's a superstar such as Folau, Thurston, Inglis etc. Leadership would have been actually accessing the decision in the first place. To me, it just seemed a massive error of judgement to come out so early on and say he wouldn't be picked. They made a decision because they thought QLD would probably win even without Folau. It was an easy decision to make. To go back on that decision now because maybe it's not such an easy decision doesn't show courage to me at all. Courage would be stikcing by it, even if you might make a short term loss for long term gains. FWIW, I dont' agree with not picking Folau and don't think anyone should have ever come out and said they wouldn't pick him. The best players in this years NRL should get picked, but I just think it would be weak to change their decision now. [/QUOTE]
