  • Not picking May is outrageous. Laurie Daley is hopeless.

     

    • Yep, shit bench.

      If your not starting Hudson Young he doesn't get picked.

      Kings a worker not impact off your bench.

      How he hasn't picked Olakau'atu to come off the bench with the halves he's got is beyond me.

      Leinu gives you punch but he hasn't got a lot of quality minutes in him in the origin arena.

      If the blues find themselves down by 12 early which is easy to do with the state of the officiating giving teams leg ups the bench Lozza's picked isn't pulling them out of it.

      To me like usual ,the NSW squad always seems to have certain players picked as favours to club heavyweights to help  with a clubs salary cap and R and R then it does with form .

      This years no different.

      • Here is the weird thing, Brandy said if you pick May you have to start him as his style of play is not impactful. Yet names King, a worker on the bench. If anything King should start and Barnett adds impact off the bench.

        • King beats May for post contact metres which tires defences out which is great for origin style games.  May gets through work like Haas but doesn't have the big play in him like Haas does.  Having said that Haas hasn't really performed at Origin level and May isnt as good as Haas.

  • congrats to momax

    does that mean lomax is on teh left with Moses?

    • No, Lomax will be on the right, Moses on the left. I believe Moses is on a hiding to nothing playing on the left. I think he was only picked because of what he did in last year's series, imagine the shit they would have copped if they didn't pick him this year. Unless NSW wins comfortably, I think Moses will be the scapegoat, no matter how good or bad Cleary is.

      • Yep scapegoat incoming,  moses will be the one dropped if nsw lose.

      • Hope QLD  wins then we need to win games het away from the bottom we losr this week with no Moses n Lomax 

  • Good for MOMAX shit for us though 

    • this year, but in teh long run they will be the better for it
