I hope we got him cheap & see him as a backup to O’Neill.

Reds ?? Wrong code mate.

I don’t read or watch NSW based media,it’s a personal opinion based on many years of watching State of Origin. They weren’t internationals when they came into Origin,Cotter had onlly just established himself in the Cowboys side & Carrigan had only come back from an ACL.

I’d quit now.

Over the years Qld have picked players who probably are underrated by many but then seem to grow a leg when they put on a Maroons jersey,the likes of Collins,Cardigan,Cotter etc have just carried that on whereas a lot of the NSW players,often the ones with big reputations just seem to shrink when faced with Origin & the passion the Maroons bring to the party.

I don’t think Lattrell has the engine to play fullback at Origin level but I’d like to see Edwards given a shot with Latrell in the centre’s. Moses had a pretty good first half before fading(like most of the blues) in the 2nd so give him another go in partnership with Hynes & drop Luai who has been poor.Campbell Graham,Murray & Martin just look Origin players & I like Young’s aggression so I’d give him another go so a starting pack of Haas,Cook,Lenui,Martin,Young,Murray.

The quality of the punch summed up the Blues in this series.

Luai is a grub & resorted to type after being outplayed by a 34 yr old DCE & another poor Origin performance,definitely a penalty for me.

Bye,bye Freddie NSW we’re totally outplayed,outfought,outthought & out coached by a young Qld team that could dominate for years,I’m struggling to name a single blues player over the 2 games who would get into the Qld run on side.

O’Donnell is very lucky to only get 6 games for that assault.

Absolutely some of front row recruitment ranges from the laughable,Tautai & Clark to the just plain poor,Hamlin & a George Burgess that everyone bar Wigan knew was playing on one leg,Singleton,Mago,Ellis,Navarrete,Dudson.

Hill looks like he’ll be a top player for years to come,add Havard & get our overseas recruitment right & we could finally have a pack that lays a platform for our exciting backline.

Yeap the MRP has faced complaints about their consistency all season but have taken that to new heights this week with some of their rulings.

You do know it’s not compulsory to contribute to a thread,especially one you don’t like.

It’s a pretty low bar these days.

I really hope it’s true.

Salford need a slow plodder who’s increasingly injury prone ?

That lack of consistency is destroying what credibly the MRP had. Ellis deserved his ban for sheer stupidity but you can’t tell me that was more dangerous than the antics Hardaker got up to against York

How has Hardaker come away from the York game with only a 1 game ban ?

You’d hardly describe Dufty as safe & solid defensively.

Autumn is a while off & it’s Oxen so this is the early summer training shirts,they’ll be at least 2 more releases before Tonga arrive.

Yeap they wasted an appeal for LBW from a ball that was heading to Bradford then got done a couple of overs later when they had Stokes plum in front,I thought it was hilarious too.

The way kick & clap is descending into a non contact sport these days he probably agrees with you.

I personally think Lodge with his reputation as a wonderful human being would be the better option to bring some positivity to the club.

Matt Lodge is available.
