    Mbye no chance. He would be behind Milford and Taylor for the bench gig.

    Can't believe we didn't pick Ofahengaue. Glad we picked DCE, and Hunt is definitely the best person for the #14.

    lol I’m past the point of even giving a fuck about the selection errors. Just glad DCE, Arrow and Papalii have been given a starting shot. Team is somewhat experimental.

    Not much to be expected with yet another ridiculous injury toll over the weekend.

    Hunt being dropped to the bench was the right call.

    Two years running we’ve been raped by injury and NSW has been practically unscathed. We’ll need it to be a tad more even if we’re going to win next year.

    Yeah Hunt really is a great bench pick within the context of the side.

    Fullback goes down? Munster to fullback, Hunt to halves
    Winger goes down? Gagai to wing, Munster to centre, Hunt to halves
    Cente goes down? Munster to centre, Hunt to halves
    Half goes down? Hunt to halves
    Hooker goes down? Hunt to hooker
    No-one goes down? Hunt to hooker for a stint, McCullough can either have a rest or play as a lock for a bit

    It really covers everything between he and Munster's versatility. Good call to pick him there once they decided to drop him from starting. Would've been easy to just axe him entirely and pick Milford again, who is basically only useful at all if a back gets injured.

    Corey Thompson will play Origin at some point, I'm convinced.

    Haha that would be sensational.

    Odd comment though, he didn't play this weekend. What brought that on?

    I've got to follow up on that point about Klemmer, did you not realise he was only used once when saying he was non existent?

    We were talking at cross purposes.

    When I said a better rotation wouldn't have helped us I meant personnel..... because our game plan made them redundant. Similar points to what you were talking about hence why I said you're making my argumentfor me.

    I just couldn't be assed trying to explain that...

    I hope Hunt gets some decent minutes at 9 tonight, I think it could be his best position.
    He can play what's in front of him, yet the pressure of steering the side is off his shoulders.

    I like some facets of his game, but he has made some very soft defensive efforts this season.

    This has to be the least hyped up Origin match I can remember. Probably because it's a dead rubber.

  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Haha yes that probably has something to do with it...

    I don’t remember even a dead rubber being this lacklustre.

    I’m looking forward to this match probably more than game 1 tbh. I really wanna see how this Qld side and the changes go. Praying DCE plays well...

    It’s raining up here so it’s already gonna be a wet track. I’m hoping it pelts down come 8pm. Good old fashioned slugfest.

    I'd rather Morgan at 7 game 1 next year.

  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    1. Ponga
    6. Munster
    7. Morgan
    9. McCullough
    14. Hunt

    That should stay the same for a few years.

    You just fucking watch the ruck penalties tonight. There may actually be more than 1 in 80 minutes.

  18. morgieb MC Burridge

    Yeah this. Even by dead rubber standards there's been little build-up.

    They've really gotta get rid of this 8:10 (actually later) kick off bullshit.

    Ain’t that the fucking truth. Channel 9 cocksuckers. That and going to the sideline shots of cunts injured while the ball is in play. Just fucking tell me he’s injured. I don’t need to see the back of the cunts’ head walking off. Let me watch the fucking football. That shits enrages me to no end.
