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

[dontcloseyoureyes]

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

Problem is, they haven't had much spark when combining, apart from a few glimpses of it. I think they'll definately struggle against Thursten and Locyker. I guess we don't have to wait long to see, anyway.

FINCHY!!!

FINCHY!!!

I agree!

They obviously didn't realise I was available and went for the last possible option.

I think we're in a bit of trouble tonight, but then I thought that before Gower got injured!

 

[Craig]

Well as long as our forwards get the edge in the game (which they can) then we should be ok.

 

[Simon]

Finch

NSW are desperate!

 

[age_master]

not sure how Finch got picked over Sherwin - hopefully him playing wont hurt NSW too much. Still too much firepower in the forwards.

QLD cant win at Telstra.

NSW by 14 points.

 

[Simon]

we will win there one day and this is as good of a chance as ever...

 

[Blewy]

Im almost prepared to give NSW 14 points start...

Im scared...

Finch sucks they shouldv'e picked Noddy

 

[Blaze]

When you think about it Finch was actually selected almost by default. No other NSW half backs are really match fit. Sherwin and Kimmorley have just come back from injury, Johns has retired and Orford and Gower are injured...

 

[howardj]

Im surprised they didnt go for Soward (Finchy's understudy at the Roosters) instead!

 

[vic_orthdox]

Hindmarsh for No.7

 

[Simon]

as i said to blewy earlier, why are they so quick to ask Johns to come out of rep retirement, but no word of Barrett, im betting he would have played if asked...

 

[Mister Wright]

It's finally good to see N.S.W. faced with injury problems heading into an origin game.

 

[steds]

Finch scores

 

[steds]

Jeez. It's a walkover

 

[Blaze]

Lockyer has been crap. NSW dominating up front and Finch is been given a free ride.

 

[steds]

Little bit of biff.

 

[Mr Casson]

I understand Grothe's point of view. Every time I see a Queenslander it's all I can do not to punch them in the face.
