Is Jake injured again or is he just saying he’s not fit enough for origin?

Ruled himself out.
Apparently calf a bit sore after yesterdays game.

I missed it. Is he saying he’s out for us as well or just origin

They haven't said yet

Pangai Jnr? Really?

 

[rj90]

Pangai Jnr? Really?

Probably can count himself lucky Jake is out.
Strange addition to the team otherwise.

 

[davohan123]

Pangai Jnr? Really?

Crazy decision

 

[Chunkytuna]

I quite like Pangai Jnr in there. He’s got that mongrel/loose cannon quality you need in an origin team. QLD are full of them.

 

[DSM5]

Only one out for Newcastle. Ponga will be up for it next weekend to show he should be in.

I highly doubt they allow him to rule himself out of Origin, and still play club footy....

 

[Disco]

Pangai Jr and awful pick IMO.

I know we are a bit short on props but just put Leota in there.

Or Angus or Haumole as middles.

Or Tatola

Anyone...

QLD not picking Ponga is crazy as well IMO

Yes, I think Haumole (esp) or Tatola would offer more a middle. Anyway, I'm glad Haumole is playing for us this weekend.
