All our guys should rule themself out of origin and focus primarily on club footy. Trying to turn the season around while others clubs get hit by origin works for me.

Playing Origin would do them the world of good, and would expose them to playing with quality players. The only Parra players I can see who may get selected are Moses (if he is fit - looking dicey for Origin1) and probably Paulo. Maybe Hopgood, but personally I don't think he is quite where he needs to be at the moment. Not sure about RCG - Fittler clearly didn't like him, but it's a new team now.

Think Nicho will be in the 6 Jersey , Moses needs to get some footy into his legs so they won't pick him. Hopgood probably will make it.
Earlier in the season I would have said RCG and/or Paulo were in with a chance, as was Moses. Moses is injured and Hynes is playing well, so that will keep him out. RCG and Paulo will need to really improve in the next few weeks to get picked now, I think they will look at some younger guys.
Hopgood is a real shot for Queensland though, and if he is picked of course he should play.
Agree, I think our first game during origin period is v sharks. Should take advantage of no Hynes and try build up some momentum. Hopgood will probably make it but everyone else should be available
"That would be the dumbest decision they could make. If they are going with him for 2025, go all in and extend him. With that many players off-contract and a bunch of juniors coming through, why have a coach for one more year? What do you gain from…"

None would get selected anyway so it's a mute point.
I dont know what all the fuss in with Paulo - adds no punch or drive...
Indeed. He has one good 20 minute period a month. Ordinary.
