State Of Origin 2007

[Jarro]

righto punters, pick your sides, predictions, have a bitch .... lets get it on !!!!!

[dc68]

Woohooo bring it on...............NSW to again be QLD's bitch.

[Jarro]

Qld certainly look to have the advantage in the backs this year :smt023

[kpac]

what's the format for this years games? they're not spaced months apart like last year are they :( i like the origin when it was all within a month, just made the competition that much more intense.

ps: go the maroons

[Jarro]

I think the games are 3 weeks apart Kent

[PeteyD]

Not even worth bothering this year, walkover coming

[Jarro]

Like your style Pete ;)

OK, certs in the QLD side for me are :

1/ Hunt
3/Hodges
4/Inglis
6/Lockyer
7/Thurston
9/Smith
10/Civoniceva

.. any arguements ?

[3oneday]

[PeteyD]

Inglis will be on a wing

[Eag's]

Oh yeah!! the blues are going down again this year :mrgreen:
Better stock up on the kleenex N.S.W.

I can see one bloke who was born in this country...

[dc68]

Kma Kj.

[Fishman Dan]

I can't see Kimmorely getting the job at #7 for NSW. When he has a good game he's as good as anyone, but his crap games are nowhere near good enough. He wasn't much good last night before the whack to the head - certainly wasn't much chop after it!

[3oneday]

Bring back Brett Finch !!!

Seriously though, who has Matt Orford crossed ?

[dc68]

And then?

[Fishman Dan]

And then?

:lol:

24 hours and 10 minutes, and that's all you could come up with??!! :lol:

[3oneday]

And then?


:lol:

24 hours and 10 minutes, and that's all you could come up with??!! :lol:can I have a "prease exprain" thanks ?

:p

[rick3003]

Bring back Brett Finch !!!

Seriously though, who has Matt Orford crossed ?
Matt Orford is too hot and cold. He has hardly played a game all year. What about Monohan - he has been in good form.

Cooper Cronk? Where is he from?

[Jarro]

Cooper Cronk? Where is he from?

He's one of the good guys mate ;)

[rick3003]

He's one of the good guys mate ;)
You guys are got a bloody good halfback!

[Grunt]

Reckon after last nights game Orford is closer to getting the half back spot. Just not sure what type of 5/8 will suit his game. Anasta will get the spot but will he be no good outside Orford?

[terryand]

You guys are got a bloody good halfback!
We probably have about 4 that would be better than your first pick :mrgreen:

Terry.

[Grunt]

We probably have about 4 that would be better than your first pick :mrgreen:

Terry.
Not wrong there Tezza

[Courty]

Are they picking sides on form this year? If so, what has Hunt done to deserve his spot? Surely Bowen is by far the form fullback in the land!

[Jarro]

Can't say i disagree with you there County. Let's face it, up here in QLD we're lucky enough to be blessed with quite a lot form players in the fullback spot ..... it's kinda hard to see who they could leave out :?

I'd have to say on form though, Slater is the form QLD fullback at the moment.

[3oneday]

Sooo, if Brisbane are going so crap, why are Qld favourites again ? oh oops, no Locky ???

:lol:
GO BLUES

[Courty]

Pffft. Lockyer is not the be all & end all of QLD footy. Thurston is a natural 5/8 anyway, and will be more comfortable outside Scott Prince. I wonder if that means Bowen's chances have improved (seeing as they're so big into playing partnerships) now that Hunt doesn't have any Broncos halves to work with?

[Jarro]

Lockyer will be there, he's a quick healer ;)

I hope he's one of about 2 broncos they pick 'cos quite frankly the rest of them are crap this season .... maybe pick a lot of Cows players for once :roll:

QLD will still win the series easily :mrgreen:

[dc68]

Ditto.

[3oneday]

GO BLUES
Ditto ;)

[PeteyD]

Hah. They will pick the broncos players that have proved themselves at origin. Lokyer, Hunt, Civowhatever, Tate etc. I'd like to see them blood some young guns against a young and enthusiastic NSW. If they pick the old warhorses QLD could end up getting rolled by a bunch of nobodies like the pounding NSW copped during the super league (oh that was sweet ;) )

[Courty]

I'm concerned about Petrol Seventycentsalitre's form. He didn't look his usual tireless self the other night. :???:

[Jarro]

Out of a sorry bunch of Broncos this year Courty, Petero has been a standout performer.

He'll be one of the front rowers for origin 1 for sure 8)

[Courty]

FFS. Now Jamie Lyon is in doubt (http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,,21727631-23214,00.html) (judiciary). Is there gonna be anyone left who is not injured or suspended? :roll:

[Jarro]

Would Lyon have been picked anyway ???

[Courty]

I reckon he would be hard to leave out of the Blues.

[Jarro]

mate, if he's a cert for their side, NSW are in biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trouble ;)

:lol:

[3oneday]

Probably, he has setup some amazing tries this year ! They could always do what QLD do, don't name him and let the next round be his suspension ;)

:p

[Jarro]

Probably, he has setup some amazing tries this year ! They could always do what QLD do, don't name him and let the next round be his suspension ;)

:p

ah yes, a good old NSWRL loophole exposed ;)

Arthurson and Quail were really smart old farts weren't they :mrgreen:

[Fishman Dan]

El Masri - does he deserve to be there?

I say no. He had a poor game tonight and doesn't have the defence. Big chance we'll have 'native Australians' and 'New Australians' playing the racist card if not picked.

[3oneday]

El Masri - does he deserve to be there?

I say no. I agree, he looked a bit "rabbit in the spotlight" after he missed the 2nd kick, I don't think they will pick him.

Doubt they will play the racist card though, he had a shocker like the rest of his teammates !

[Jarro]

I doubt he'll be picked either, he hardly fits the mould for wingers these days ... big, strong guys who can be used as an extra forward. You guys wiould be better off picking someone like Grothe instead of him.

Interesting to listen to the post-match press conference last night. Bellamy let the cat out of the bag when he said he was told he'd have 3 players chosen for Origin, and Slater wasn't one of them :( I'd have him at least on the wing for us, he's been in great form.

[3oneday]

I think they should at least have King and Grothe on each wing, size is best ;)

Plus, an extra couple of forwards can't hurt !

[Eag's]

Hard to believe neither Slater or Bowen not getting a run :smt102
I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us on the arse.

[Jarro]

so if Slater isn't in the mix, we can probably expect a qLD backline that looks something like this :

Hunt
Tate
Hodges
Bell
Inglis
Lockyer
Thurston

personally i'd rather see Inglis in the centers with Hodges, but our winger stocks are a little depleted up here, and Inglis does add a bit of size on the flank 8)

[goughy]

Is this on again already? Time to avoid channel 9 on wednesday nights!

Bugger, that means it will be repeats on ch 10 those nights. :(

[PeteyD]

Pretty much mark.

Pack likely to be Price, Smith, Petrol, Webb, Costigan, Dallas

[dc68]

Close Pete.

Here is the full team.



The Queensland team for te opening State of Origin game
' Karmichael Hunt, Brent Tate, Steve Bell, Justin Hodges, Greg Inglis, Darren Lockyer (capt), Johnathan Thurston, Petero Civoniceva, Cameron Smith, Steve Price. Tonie Carroll, Carl Webb, Dallas Johnson. Interchange: Shaun Berrigan, Jacob Lillyman, Nate Myles, Neville Costigan.

Very strong team there but still think Bowen & Slater should be there.

Queenslander!!!!

[Courty]

It's a very safe team. Not too many game-breakers in there, IMO. Should still be enough to get the job done, though. :twisted:

[dc68]

Some BIG hitters there. Of course Johnson could well be rubbed out thru the NSW judiciary. \l/'s

[dc68]

NSW Origin scum
Anthony Minichiello (Roosters), Matt King (Storm), Jamie Lyon (Sea Eagles), Matt Cooper (Dragons), Jarryd Hayne (Eels), Braith Anasta (Roosters), Jarrod Mullen (Knights), Brent Kite (Sea Eagles), Danny Buderus (c, Knights), Brett White (Storm), Nathan Hindmarsh (Eels), Willie Mason (Bulldogs), Andrew Ryan (Bulldogs)
Interchange: Luke Bailey (Titans), Steve Simpson (Knights), Anthony Tupou (Roosters), Kurt Gidley (Knights)

[Courty]

Predictable team for the Blues as well. Personally, I would have taken Grothe Jr over Hayne.

[3oneday]

Personally, I would have taken Grothe Jr over Hayne.agreed...

Some big boppers in there too, but not much on the skill level. Huuuuge risk on Mullen, luckily he will have Anasta beside him :roll:

[dc68]

Huuuuge risk on Mullen, luckily he will have Anasta beside him :roll:


:smt023

[PeteyD]

Awesome pack in the NSW team.

[Courty]

I haven't seen much of Manly this year. Has Bell been playing well enough to deserve his spot? Without knowing more about his form, I would put Billy The Kid on that wing and move Inglis to centre in place of Bell End.

[PeteyD]

Bell is in the centres. Has a good rep and manly are winning. Billy is too dangerous at a level where 1 error often decides matches.

[mikezone13]

NSW Origin scum
Anthony Minichiello (Roosters), Matt King (Storm), Jamie Lyon (Sea Eagles), Matt Cooper (Dragons), Jarryd Hayne (Eels), Braith Anasta (Roosters), Jarrod Mullen (Knights), Brent Kite (Sea Eagles), Danny Buderus (c, Knights), Brett White (Storm), Nathan Hindmarsh (Eels), Willie Mason (Bulldogs), Andrew Ryan (Bulldogs)
Interchange: Luke Bailey (Titans), Steve Simpson (Knights), Anthony Tupou (Roosters), Kurt Gidley (Knights)

I would've taken a punt on Stewart from the Sea Eagles at full back... what has Minichiello done recently... I'd say Mini, Tupou, Hayne and Anasta are very lucky to be in the side.

[Fishman Dan]

Joke of a team. QLD by 13+.

Too many teams from the bottom 1/3 of the table represented. Cooper is a joke, Minichello - you're kidding, Tupou... Whopu?

[dc68]

Fishy as much as you speak a lot of shit please keep posting as we need your avatar to appear as much as possible.

[3oneday]

Too many teams from the bottom 1/3 of the table represented. Cooper is a joke, Minichello - you're kidding, Tupou... Whopu?Fish, you've got nothin sorry :p

Minichello was brilliant on the weekend, returning to form from a long layoff. Tupou, current Australian bench player, solid, no mistakes. Cooper had a great game against Wests the other day.

Even Anasta, the much maligned Anasta, is actually playing better than he did last year. I would almost say he has returned to the form that made Easts want him in the first place.

Go back to googling more titties (please :))

[Fishman Dan]

A great game the other day.... these aren't blokes who have had solid campaigns.

Anasta has done nothing except for the last 2 or 3 games, perhaps he's timed his run well, but he's lucky to be there. And if you don't believe me, ask the guru - Warren Ryan! He was scathing in his 'appraisal' of Anasta the other day.

[Fishman Dan]

Ok.

[Jarro]

Looks as though both sets of selectors have gone with the tried and true "been there done it before" attitude .... a LOT of players in both sides that are not in form, but have been in Origin before and got the job done.

[Fishman Dan]

Well said Jarro. In other words, NSW got done last year with a pack of media friendly faces who couldn't put it together. Expect the same this year. Our only hope is to get pole-axed in game 1 and bring about radical change.

[3oneday]

Ok.thanks.

[dc68]

Ditto.

[3oneday]

Of course Johnson could well be rubbed out thru the NSW judiciary. \l/'swasn't Lillyman on report too ?

[Jarro]

Johnson should be OK, there wasn't much in that tackle. Matua does them all the time :roll:

[PeteyD]

I think lillyman was cleared

[3oneday]

Johnson should be OK, there wasn't much in that tackle. Matua does them all the time :roll:pfft, stoopid qld reasoning there :p u can't shoulder charge the head these days, GOOOOOORRRRRRRRRNNNNNNEEEEEE :p

[Jarro]

word just in is that Danny Buderus is desperate for Joey to come out of retirement ....

http://www.kustomkreativity.com/soo/bud_needsjoey.jpg

[terryand]

I think Buderus and Mullen came as a package deal.If grub Buderus ( how did he not get cited for blatantly stomping on someones head) didn't get picked I don't think they would have put Mullen in there.

Terry.

[3oneday]

Here's a wildcard thought, Lyons gets suspended, they move King to centre, Mini to wing and bring in Stewart at fullback ;)

[3oneday]

We could win as easy as 8 & 7.:lol: still reliving past glories ? nothing like having the underdog tag in a game of footy ;)

[Courty]

Here's a wildcard thought, Lyons gets suspended, they move King to centre, Mini to wing and bring in Stewart at fullback ;)

How about, Lyons gets suspended, Grothe Jr plays at centre with Hayne outside him, Stewart watches the game from his lounge chair?

Face it, unless they play the Origin matches at Brookvale, Stewart ain't gonna get a look-in. :)

[3oneday]

Grothe Jr plays at centre with Hayne outside him,gosh, can I have what he's having ? :p

About as much chance of that happening as Jarro playing lock for .....(insert any team here) :lol:

[PeteyD]

Don;t knock the neandethal man!

[Jarro]

Is it just me or is Toni Carroll seriously past it ?

Probably. I think you'd find that if Thaiday was 100% they'd have him in the starting side instead.

Well at least i'd like to hope the selectors think that way :roll:

[3oneday]

With every passing day I reckon

BLUES TO WIN !!!

[Jarro]

With every passing day I reckon the Blues are absolutely no chance and will get smashed big-time

Like your way of thinking old fella :mrgreen:

:smt046 :lol: that is GOLD :smt038

[Courty]

Dallas Johnson & Jamie Lyon are both cleared to play...


Johnson successfully argued a downgrading to his grade two careless high tackle charge on Bulldog Reni Maitua last Monday while Lyon was found not guilty of a dangerous throw because the prosecution worded the charge incorrectly and a key witness could not be cross examined.

What a farce. Someone can be acquitted because of a few wrong words. Thank god none of the lawyers are employed from this forum. :roll:

[Jarro]

Courty, it's just like the Test matches where blatant foul shots go unpunished ... makes the players a little confused when they later cop a big suspension for the same offence in regular NRL matches.

FWIW i don't think the loss of Johnson would've been that big a deal for QLD, they were supposedly ready to enlist Kafusi onto the bench, a far more destructive forward in my opinion 8)

[3oneday]

Bring it on girls :p

[dc68]

Oh, it's on bitch, it's on.

[Courty]

Webb has been ruled out, Kaufusi is in.

[Jarro]

They'll miss Webb, but i think Kaufusi will do the job .. he's been playing well for the Storm.

Mullen can't run without a head

True mate very good of you to point that out.

[Grunt]

He is on the good ol' second year syndrome.

[PeteyD]

Nah he is on the good old sticlk the best player at five eighth and watch him crumble syndrome

[dc68]

My bad. I thouight it was 1st try scorer. Although if ya want a roughie he is your boy.

[Courty]

Inglis has done nothing this year in the club games....why does that make him a spec in a higher level ?

Cos he will be back closer to the sidelines where he did all the damage last year.

[Moe Norman]

i might have a little punt on Smith and Inglis - thanks gents

[Eag's]

Can't believe I will be stuck at work once again for the first game :smt013 :smt093
Looks like I will have to get the score updates from the orderlies running around the hospital :roll:

or do they only refer QLD tries?

[Grunt]

18-6 Halftime

Go the Blues.

[3oneday]

or do they only refer QLD tries?looked like he was in good position to judge and rule, a rare commodity these days ;)

Tomorrows fish and chip wrappers :)

[Eag's]

I can't believe the only radio coverage I can pick up is Roy & HG.
It is bloody frustrating to say the least, they don't even know the players names :smt013 and spend half the game crapping on about anything but the football :roll:

I hate being at work on Origin night ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! :smt087

[Moe Norman]

aftter that shocking referreeing in game 3 last year i thought this would be fixed, I get annoyed and I barely care about the result!

[Grunt]

Is it just me but is Tony Carroll the biggest thug in the QLD side? He may get a holiday with one of his high tackles that got passed by on the field.
Matt King is lost as a winger, he is a Centre not a winger.

[Moe Norman]

all leaguies are thugs mate.

[PeteyD]

Game is close. Ref has had a few shocker calls. Steve Price was robbed. should be 18-12 at this stage.

[PeteyD]

Grunt it is just you. I agree with Moe though, they all target the head.

[Moe Norman]

I reckon it should be 12-12 or 12-6 to the blues.

Hindmarsh didn't ground it, Price definately scored, but according to Gould that first QLD try was offside. I don't follow the game but find him to be a reasonably balanced viewpoint despite all the crap people go on with so I'll take his word for it and make it 12-6 ;)

[Jarro]

all leaguies are thugs mate.

Is that just 'cos they don't sip chard mate :roll:

QLD aren't that much out of it, we can lift in the second half :smt023

Price's try should've been allowed in my book .... that pass wasn't as forward as the NSW one :roll:

[BrisVegas]

I reckon it should be 12-12 or 12-6 to the blues.

geezuz, it's like you're thinking exactly the same as me. :shock: Hard to watch. I don't follow footy, but it's hard to make sense of some of the decisions.

[Grunt]

Hayne - Hero to zero
24-18 Qld

[Moe Norman]

it was fair enough, he was going into touch and QLD would have scored off the next set of 6 anyway...he just gave NSW more time to get the points back!

[Eag's]

Oh yeah how about that one!!!!
QUEENSLANDER

[Moe Norman]

i didn't realise we were watching the 10m springboard Mr. Hayne

NSW are crap, hopefully they will pck players in the right positions for the next one.

Who is MOM?

[3oneday]

My guess would be Steve Price

[Moe Norman]

Steve Price was pretty good?

I took Inglis or Smith - either of them a chance?

[Jarro]

Steve Price for sure, awesome performance tonight 8)

[terryand]

When did Anasta go off I must of missed it ;) :mrgreen:

personal record tonight too chaps, 19 XXXX gold cans have been consumed by yours truly tonight :smt030

[Ducky]

Someone get Greg Norman and put him in a NSW outfit. Bunch of chokers!

[Courty]

I believe Thurston was MOM.

[Courty]

Update: Kaufusi tore the patella tendon clean off the bone. Gidley dislocated his shoulder - scans tomorrow. Mason's hammy tear was minor, but they'll see how it pulls up tomorrow. Hindmarsh had a cry, but should be ok to play on the weekend. Carroll, Myles & Johnson all on report, and all could be taking vacations, IMO.

[3oneday]

Yep, don't forget... NSW halves give QLD back 3 catching practice :lol:

Thurston was good, but I thought Price was a standout for MOM.

[Jarro]

Yep, don't forget... NSW halves give QLD back 3 catching practice :lol:



That's what our halves did also, pretty ordinary kicking game from Lockyer and Thurston last night :mad:

[3oneday]

I only just got up and haven't turned on the tv yet. Who won???pfft, must have been some other Goughy reading it last night then :p

I hope they don't make wholesale changes, whilst the kicking game was average the defence inside the 20 was like a mad womans breakfast !

Very strange, the two tries down Kings wing highlighted a real problem. It was like Lyon couldn't read the play and left King like a shag on a rock :confused:

[goughy]

Must have been robyn!! She's in her tipping at work. Couldn't have possibly been me. Unless I wanted to catch up on some sledging!!

[3oneday]

Unless I wanted to catch up on some sledging!!this part has been particularly quiet I must say ;)

I was confident of a win all week to be honest, but their defence and handling at times made me think I was watching the Dogs again :lol:

this part has been particularly quiet I must say ;)

way to talk yourselves down :roll:

I've never known a NSW team to go into a game as underdogs, even last night they would've been close to even money i'll bet.

QLD just seemed to lift in the second half whereas NSW looked totally stuffed .... so much for the fitter, more mobile forwards you guys were supposed to have.

I must say, pretty poor turnout for the NSWelshmen today, surely you guys would have been in here if we had won ???

[3oneday]

That's a big if mate.c'mon, truth time... 18-6 at half time, no doubt in your mind that you would win ???

pfft :lol:

[dc68]

There was FAITH.

Hallelujah.

[Colin]

Is it just me but is Tony Carroll the biggest thug in the QLD side? He may get a holiday with one of his high tackles that got passed by on the field.
Matt King is lost as a winger, he is a Centre not a winger.

Yeah - I was saying to my mates as we were watching it that when someone's getting ready to be retired from the team, the coach should take them aside and say "Look, your time's up - take one for the team, go out there and do your best to knock out Minichello (sp?)"

No sooner were the words out of my mouth than Carroll comes over the top of a tackle and tries to decapitate one of the Blues with a swinging forearm. Penalty, no report. So he had a few more goes, did his best to get sent off or start a riot, and nothing from the refs - bit disappointing really.

But apart from that, brilliant game - glad I stuck around for the second half (I was ready to chuck it in and go play me guitar).

I am at a conference and had to go to a dinner last night.

I got about 20 SMS's between 6pm and 8pm from Queenslanders. I got 0 between 8pm and 8:30pm.

Intrigued (and sitting on a dinner table with 8 women who were calling their partners for score updates, I made the call to an OzGolfer who confirmed:

* NSW were leading at 1/2 time
* QLD should win

I saw the final 25 minutes and could see why. NSW didn't make it across the QLD 20m line.

[dc68]

NSW replacements for game 2? Could hardly do worse.

Sorry Pete was at work all day today. Not all of us have internet access while on the job Dave. Cant say much other than NSW were beaten by the better team on the night.

That was soft Grant.

[Iain]

A lot better!

[Grunt]

That was soft Grant.

Could not say anything else, that was just how it happened.
NSW Forwards showed no ticker, when White was smashed by Carroll and not penalised they should have lifted the game and realised it was allowed to smash the qld'ers as the ref was not penalising for it.

[Moe Norman]

sore loser - that was a solid shot you big girl.

[3oneday]

sore loser - that was a solid shot you big girl.I think he was referring to the forearm to the head on the way down ? It was a good hit, probably be worth a $5,000 fine in that real girls game now wouldn't it ;)

[Jarro]

nothing wrong with Carrolls hit actually. Johnson did the damage initially in the front-on shot, Carroll clipped him as he was falling.

No penalty or suspension required :smt023

[3oneday]

No penalty or suspension required :smt023nope, he got away with it this time ;)

I still reckon NSW are badly coached, remains to be seen this next game I guess. The defence was ragged all game.... Funny isn't it, the Cowboys seem to defend well under the same coach ? Maybe R Simmons is defensive coach :lol:

[dc68]

:roll:

[PeteyD]

White came out bad mothing the QLD forwards prior to the game. Did he expect a pat on the butt and a kiss?

[3oneday]

Did he expect a pat on the butt and a kiss?no, you're right, DC68 wasn't playing so it wasn't gunna happen :lol:

QUEENSLANDER!!! :twisted:

[Jarro]

Anyone predicting wholesale changes to the NSW side ?

I reckon they'll go with Kimmorley at halfback, but there's a rumour around that Greg Bird might sneak in at 5/8th :shock:

Carl Webb wil be back for QLD, although i'm not sure that's a good thing or not ... he might be a little underdone :(

[3oneday]

We need to turn on the biff, if Bird gets picked, look out 8)

[Jarro]

yeah, i'd back Bird over Webbie anyday :roll: :lol:

[3oneday]

yeah, i'd back Bird over Webbie anyday :roll: :lol:anyone can blindside ;) :p it's front on that counts in my books 8)

Ask Bailey about front on defence ;)

Bird should've been in your team for the first match anyway, i reckon he offers more than Ryan.

[dc68]

Speaking of filth did anyone else notice Cayless dropping his knees into Hodgson last night, very DELIBERATELY? had him on the ground and pumped the back of his thigh. BLATANT IMHO.

[Jarro]

Yeah i saw that, i also saw that grub Riddel do the same thing :smt093

[Jarro]

3 changes to the Blues side, Kimmorley comes in at halfback as expected, with Bird and Hoffman on the interchange bench.

[PeteyD]

No excuse for knees, unless the guy somersualts after the impact it is deliberate

[dc68]

Ok..................

Can someone tell me how the bloke voted the worst ref by the players 2 years in a row gets an origin?? Oh that's right he is from Sydney ;) haha

:roll: :roll:

[Jarro]

That's right Pedro, the whingers down south had to have someone to blame for their first game loss :roll:

Let's hope this jerk can somehow manage to lift his game tonight and give us the type of origin game we deserve, a free flowing hard hitting game of footy :twisted:

What's the forecast in Sydney for tonight's game?

About 22-10 to Queensland CoUNTY.

Any chances of a repeat of this fine match:

weather is supposed to be fine and cold.

I see they've replaced a fair bit of turf at the stadium too, hopefully it makes for a faster track :)

[PeteyD]

Rye grass is always slippery crap at night. I am worried about the new fullback, very X Factor stuff at this level.

[3oneday]

yeeepppp, yep yep yep :p

[Peter]

Stewart had his chance in City / Country and was average at best. Kimmorley has been tried at this level before and found wanting. The NSW forwards, despite their reputation, haven't stood up since the first half of Game 1 last year.

You never know with Origin, but all the signs point to a convincing QLD win.

[dc68]

Such wisdom from a peron with only 3 posts.

[PeteyD]

City Country is pointless, they are not playing Queenslanders !! hehe

Stewart is an unknown at this level, which makes him dangerous.

[dc68]

Ethpethially if bent over.... He lookth Ghey!!! Not that there ith anything wrong with that.
