If the NSW Blues team can beat the Qld Maroons in Origin 3 next Wednesday in a dead rubber match it will be worth it even though the Eels were thrashed by the Warriors at CommBank Stadium by 46-10. The NSW Blues selectors wisely selected Mitch Moses at 7 who will succumb to the 'Chin' once he returns and RCG although missing previous selection in the more important games in Origin 1 and 2 and of course the Eels captain Clint Gutherson who will warm the bench for the majority of the game at the expense of the Blues best player Tedesco although Gutherson is not a suited bench player himself it will be warranted if the NSW Blues can beat Qld in this all important dead rubber match. The Eels put up a brave effort against the mostly full strength Warriors team in their biggest loss at CommBank Stadium their homeground with this loss reducing their current for and against by 36 points but it will be worth it if the NSW Blues can win the 3rd Origin dead rubber match this Wednesday evening. The Eels were without their captain, 3 players in their spine and there best forward in RCG and of course their star number 6 Dyldo (5 to 2 touch) Brown who was recently suspended for another 4 weeks for touching not dancing on the dance floor. Well done NSW Blues selectors Dopey Alexander, Freddy Fittler and Junki Johns.

Im furious too mate.I couldn't give 2 flying fucks about origin. These pricks just fucked our whole momentum we had in our season, a massive dent in our for and against . You watch us miss the 4 on by 2 points. The nrl and Nsw blues can get fucked!
Agree mate. It's really pizzed me off big time. Origin needs to go or some compensation for teams depleted through origin duties.
Coudlhtbhave said it better myself.. fuck origin especially a dead rubber
Our players could've pulled out like Ponga, Wighton and Papali'i did but chose to chase the money and status instead.
Looks a lot better when contract time comes around if you can say you are a SOO player.
You seriously think they could have pulled out? If so why didn't they
They could've, they didn't because 30k talks. With our run home, this was an important 2 points
Of course they can PT47.
They don't hold a gun to them and say you have no choice.
Like I said. They do it for the money and the recognition.
It does give them big game experience. Gutho on the bench is useless unless a back goes down early on. Moses in particular can learn alot from these sort of games.
An origin dead rubber is really the same as a standard NRL game.
Bem nowhere near it, crazy the difference in speed of the games. Pressure you get in origin would make a normal nrl game like reserve grade. Thought you would get that bem
