    Apparently Mitchell might be dropped if he doesn't impress tomorrow as well.

    Wade Graham has been picked, replacing Crichton (I assume).

    Good to see Fittler picking the proven performers in Pearce and Graham.

    Graham is way ahead of Crichton.

  5. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He's a better player but he's been far worse in Origin so far so Gemmell's point still stands. He's basically the Pearce of NSW second rowers.

    Yeh he's been rubbish at SOO level plus he's only 2 weeks in to returning from an ACL injury.

    I mean it's all kind of irrelevant if we go full deep and pick a Cleary/Pearce combo imo.

    As I post that Pearce has just been ruled out to injury.

    Graham’s played four games in Origin. Steady on gentlemen

    Yeah but you have to admit he’s been pretty clunge. I’m a big fan of Graham but you’d expect more from a bloke who before injury was up there with Cordner and Papalii as the best edge forward in the game.

    I really think if we control the middle like we did in the second half, we stifle Cook and Tedesco. That’s half the battle. No Klemmer should make it easier.

    Blues bench will be light on props and small in stature. I think they may struggle for points again.

    Some of the changes will be beneficial but continuity may be an issue for them.

    Gould has already called the series for Qld. Jeez that seems premature.

    Gould's mindgames are so obviously painful.

    Just shut the fuck up. I know he thinks he's doing good and has gone full father mode with Freddy in charge but there's no way he's doing any good.

  15. Wilson SB Wilson

    Hasn’t been great but he’d shown enough glimpses in his time and has sustained those in his career to persist when he’s only played four games.

    His chances are certainly running out but fmd consider he’s still one of our best edge forwards and almost invaluable with our dire halves, he’s by no means a bad selection.

    The Mitchell thing is mind games but I don’t believe this is, or at least not entirely. He genuinely thinks NSW are gonna lose. It’s different from previous years. He’s never come out and been as definitively pessimistic.

    Have we really dropped Mitchell? Ffs lol.

    The Mitchell dropping if legit is ridiculous.

    If I was a punter I’d bet good money Pearce pulling a sneaky and brushing the blues for these injuries.

    If Mitchell's head really isn't in the game then that makes sense, but otherwise it's such a knee-jerk reaction.

    Oh that team. 3 edge forwards on the bench. Classic NSW.
