100% Tom Dearden showing him how it is done. Cleary or majority of the Penrith team shouldn't be picked again. Yeah good at club land but in origin they have no idea

  The only ones I'd pick from the Penrith team for NSW are To'o and Martin. Edwards, Cleary and Yeo all need to go.

    1000% correct , Edwards is the worst fullback to play for NSW since Kurt Gidley.

      Edwards is so fucking slow. He couldn't get outside his man all night. Both him and Robson fucked every set play we had in attacking positions.

    Exactly the ones I was referring to without naming but even last night Martin did have that dog in him he usually does in origin, he was well below par. Yeo shits me to tears in sky blue as well.

  Sometimes people let their "slip"show when their dresses are too short. The argument about Cleary is relevant, when you say the majority of the Penrith team you start to get a feeling of lacking objectivity.
  
  So the answer my friend is that we should be picking the team from the Titans, Tigers, Eels and St George.....ummmmm? of course they will have an idea?

You can't play state of origin injured and be the main playmaker.

Should Katoa have been picked even maybe at 5/8 as cover especially with his kicking game compared to Luai

One of the many reasons why origin is a joke.., for many years with panthers players being picked over players that deserve a spot is pretty unfair

  Fcuk me Porky, many years....does that exclude the last 4......who won it last year Porky and how many Penrith players or ex penrith players played?

  PS That crowd last night broke every record with TV views across every state, no single event in history has rated higher in Australian Sport.

Unfortunately if you don't allow him to man manage a game he's struggles because he's not naturally gifted. All this rediculous goat and immortal talk is well and truly finished tonight.

"Coryn I thought Rueben Cotter was outstanding all night , he played like Martin has the last few years.
Im a massive fan of Liam but he's off his usual pace this year and Angus Crichton after a man of the series display last year was even quieter.…"
