State of Origin, 2025.

Interesting selections of a collection of players largely from dud and under performing teams. Glad Turbo is laying for us instead. He will be gutted though. I expect the leg bracing off and a hat trick in next game …
Couldn’t care less about origin. Team selection highlights for me are seeing Manly players not picked. Fingers crossed Haumole doesn’t bump up into 18 and is right to play for us.
 
Purely based on form l, I'd have started Hudson over Liam in the back row. Hudson is a starter not an impact player off the bench.

As a Manly fan i'm happy with the chosen team.

It's amazing how many Non Manly fans are shocked about Turbo's exclusion. They obviously haven't seen when we've been watching.
 
I can tell you are not much of a fisherman.... 😂
Yep, there’s plenty of wise old cat fish on here who know a baited hook when they see one. But with practice and a bit of local know how, you can usually pull in a decent catch, especially in poor weather (ie a loss).

There are always some good players to miss out but in terms of the forwards I am not sure there would be much different if you went for other players.

My only question for the people that know more about the game is why does Api get overlooked at 9 for Robson? Is it defending?
 
The Blues have another Olympic size Pool of Elite players to choose from
They have an embarrassment of riches

But as we Have All Very Often Seen
The Legendary Maroons Leader DCE will Inspire his Resolute Maroons Troops to Prevail And Embarrass the Blues once Again

A 'pool' is still smaller than qld, eng, png, basically the rest of the world bar nsw that qld claims.

I thought the Qld team looks pretty good tbh.

Gawd I hate typing on my phone.

I'm grabbing the laptop.

Its The Mighty Maroons Forever

Thanks big nose Daley.
Picking lomax and Moses but not Tommy.

My understanding is we will be only missing DC$ and jakey.

They will be missing Moses and lomax.
Makes Friday night very winable.

I also find Lap top is much easier
Phone is too small
Size does matter feathered friend
 
I can't believe Cobbo couldn't make the Queensland side.
My only reasoning is that Valentine Homes was selected because of his goal kicking, although Ponga is a decent kicker.

Valentine Holmes is a hog. Cost Dragons a few tries yesterday with his selfish running of the ball. He had his winger unmarked on at least 3 occasions.
