***Official*** QLD v NSW State of Origin Thread

Buderus scare for Blues

I think Buderus is the most over-rated player in the NRL so if he's out and Priddis come in N.S.W. won't lose that much.

 

[Blaze]

Yeah Buderus is a good player, but is over-hyped for sure.

Personally I would have Brett Finch in there somewhere. What a player!

 

[Simon]

Buderus is awesome, twice the player priddis is, imo Bedsy is one of the 5 most important players to Australia...

Now that Johns is retired, he'd be the first player picked in the Australian team.

Be a huge blow to NSW if he pulls out.

He'll play though.

 

[Simon]

Mason, Lockyer, Buderus, Minichiello, Gasnier and Hindmarsh...
ant split those 6 as to whose the most important...

Either you are sarcastic or that is the first time I have heard that?

i was gonna say theres no way he could be serious, but remember hes a Warriors supporter and hes used to mediocrity...

 

[Blaze]

So true...

 

[Craig]

I suppose it is good that Queensland is enjoying a problem-free run up to Game 1 whereas NSW has been drama-pacted with injuries and injury scares.

 

[Mister Wright]

Buderus, Tahu miss NSW Origin training

 

[Craig]

Well if they are out of Game 1 and Queensland don't win Game 1 then they never will win at Telstra Stadium.

Wally Lewis - who reads the sports news in Brisbane - just said that Craig Gower has been injured and that, wait for it, they've sent an SOS to bloody Joey Johns.
Qld are gooorne.

Apparently Johns has said he won't be playing because he doesn't know the set moves and doesn't feel he is ready.

Matt Orford is also injured and would be in doubt.

IMO if Orford is injured NSW should move Wing to halfback and play Priddis off the bench. I really hope they don't call on Brett Finch.

 

[Mister Wright]

Surely, they'd go with Kimmorley if Gower isn't going to play.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Kimmorley is trash, sell him to some English club so I don't have to watch him play.

 

[Blewy]

whatever way they go, NSW will get pumped... They have a half who will have not even trained with the side and a 5/8 who couldnt organise a **** up in a brewery...

 

[Mister Wright]

I know he's only had one game back, but Sherwin wouldn't be out of place in the NSW side. Rated highly by yours truely. Not that I care, either way.

 

[howardj]

Holy crap, Brett Finch has been drafted in as the replacement for Gower.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

....

Well he's got a chance to finally dismiss his criticism. I'm a Roosters fan, but I don't rate him that much.

 

[howardj]

Yeah, with such a late withdrawl, I guess they went with Finch because of his (Roosters) combination with Anasta.
