realistically plodkinsucks is far worse than reynolds, reynolds has the capacity to try to do something

also lol at cordner being anywhere near a rep jersey

I was pretty close to being on the money. I just messed up the starting second rowers. 15/17 or 17/19 ain't bad. I don't think Bird has done enough to start nor Thaiday (as a starter).

I reckon they'll stick with the two halves from last year provided they play decent in the next couple of weeks. It's a shame Souths' Reynolds has been hurt, I think the id is a gun, and Brooks is a couple of years away IMO, but is probably the long term answer at seven. In fairness, though it pains me to say it, Pearce had a very good back end to 2014 at club level, and I think he's been ok this year from what little I've seen, despite the recent lack of form from the Chooks (Smitteh to comment, he'd have seen more of him).

Personally agree with Slim - think J Reynolds has more in him as a player than Mr BabyWeePotatoHeadkinson.

[dontcloseyoureyes]

He started the season well but has tailed a bit as we have. Though he was fantastic against Melbourne in a loss. Has kicked well all year (which is what has really failed him in Origin) but I don't think he's been knocking down the door or anything. He's far better than ****headkinson but he won a series last year so I think they'll stick with him.

Halves at sixes and sevens, so bring back the Roosters

agree with this 100%

[Shady Slim]

ok johns has said he has mail adam reynolds would be back for round 9

doctor macguire and his magical press conference injury scanning machine were bull**** from the moment he said five months but i didn't expect it to be this much.

[Shady Slim]

origin teams?

1. Dugan/Tedesco
2. Tupou
3. Jennings
4. Morris
5. Richards (k)
6. Austin
7. Pearce
8. Tolman
9. Farah
10. Woods
11. Jackson
12. Hoffman
13. Scott

14. Merrin
15. Klemmer
16. Fifita
17. Vaughan

dont pick the blues of the past, start jackson and tolman because they are big minute players and will help keep the initial forward rumbling contained, bring on the big bench when their forwards tire

this team is not going to be picked though and they'll persist with boyd plodner and james tamouverrated

[Burgey]

NSW plainly looking to defend their title by making full use of the brilliant point scoring ability in their side and taking out game one 4-2.

[howardj]

Any danger of a kick-off?

Only 69 posts in this thread...man the league threads here have taken a dive lately.


(so have the AFL threads tbh. Seems the only non-cricket "sports" people watch are soccer and wrestling)

Anyone know if 2 of the 3 games are in Sydney this year or one neutral in Melbourne?

Think there's one in Melbourne this year there. Although I wouldn't consider it neutral.....

[Spikey]

(score is now 11-10)

QLD should kick another field goal if they get a chance.

[social]

QLD should've won by a street - the difference in quality between the 2 teams is ridiculous

Yeah, just saw that confirmed....and yeah I suppose the Storm connection means it's not really neutral. How hard is this going to be for NSW now?
