***2021 State of Origin First Try Scorer***

[Mister Wright]

We're back again for another year. I'm getting in early, so I don't completely forget like I did last year!

Much the same as previous years. First 17 in, will be competing. If we get 18 we can add the penalty in. If we get 19 we'll add the field goal in. Usually we don't get that many so usually you end up with more than a two player option.

If you need the rules, look through previous years, but it's pretty self explanatory.

Post your interest in this thread, you have until Tuesday, June 8.

There are 3 certainties in life: death, taxes and Mister Wright appearing once a year to do the Origin tryscorer pool.

You do have to wonder what you get out of this big dawg. But of course, I'm in.

Haha! The late start last year threw me off.

 

[Burgey]

In. As always

 

[Spikey]

Thank God I never won thanks to Hayne

 

[BoyBrumby]

In. To see if I can maintain my law of averages-defying run of no wins.

2019 Series results

Game 1 winner - dontcloseyoureyes (Morris)
Game 2 winner - morgeib (Tom Trbojevic)
Game 3 winner - dontcloseyoureyes (Kaufusi)

I know I'm taking two wins away from myself here but in the 2019 series both Game 1 and Game 3 were actually won by penalties, meaning Ausage was the G1 winner and Marcuss was the G3 winner.

 

[Burgey]

The kind of magnanimity which only Sm00teh can muster.

Citeh winning the League this morning and having a CL final to come purely coincidental

 

[morgieb]

I'll go round again.

It pained me to give up a win to that ****head Ausage but what can you do.

May he never return ?

 

[Shady Slim]

alright sure

Cheers. I'll sort it out...

 

[Mister Wright]

Still looking for contestants. Les than a week to go!

 

[ripper868]

In. Though nervous it's been about 6 years since I've actually watched any NRL so dont really have a clue about any of the players anymore. Just give me a winger/centre good sir.

 

[Mister Wright]

First Concussion sub: Paulo
Second Concussion sub: Yeo

For the first time we'll have concussion subs. If you're player is out with concussion before the first try is scored they are replaced by the two remaining players until all have been used. Highly unlikely, but better than adding in penalties etc. If one of these players happens to be the first try scorer than PVL will earn the win.

Good luck everyone!

 

[morgieb]

First thoughts is that DCYE cleaned up.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Good karma from giving up those two wins.

 

[Mister Wright]

Not worth winning if you have do rely on a Blues' player to get you the prize. Hoping for Welch to crash over off a Grant pass close to the line.

 

[Burgey]

lol Qld dominate for most of the past 15 years, and I get four of their players for a match where they played like that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Turbo baby.
