"Origin is a completely different game. QLD understand that, NSW still don't seem to get it. You pick Origin type players. I'd definitely have Latrell, Turbo, Crichton etc. "
"Jenkins as well under the high ball. That is why I wouldn't pick him in Origin. He's playing well but has elements of his game that needs fixing before Origin. Like naming a whole bunch of Panthers has worked in Origin before."

"Ryles seems a very good coach to me. There's a cohesion and an urgency to this side. But (as I keep saying) he's being let down by R&R. Our roster is a mess."
"Panthers were just off. They had a shocker all over the park.Talagi was the highlight for me. When the Bulldogs half goes to the line and draws the inside shoulder of the Panthers backrower, with a short pass to the Bulldogs edge who is coming back…"

"The thing about Ryles, that can be seen as a positive, is that he seems to not be completely his way or the high way. He brought in Nathan Brown to be someone he can talk to about what he should do. He had Eddie Jones in from time to time to offer…"

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
