State of Origin, 2025.

[The '47ers]

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.

He was off to the Drs today, I don't know the result

 

[The '47ers]

Just realised I can see the house where I used to live in this clip. lol

But Wait ..... There is more fathered friends
Toia, who is of Tongan descent, was born in Auckland, New Zealand and raised in Redcliffe, Queensland.. He played junior rugby league for the Redcliffe Dolphins

The Moral of the story ...
He was Born Again and Christened a Queenslander

The Good News is Haas has been cleared to play
The Bad News is Haas will be another Blues player not to avoid being Humiliated by the Great Maroons

So the bottom 5 teams who have 16 wins between them account for 33% of the two squads. The top 5 with 38 wins between them account for 25%. and the middle 7 account for 42%.

Genuine question Bozo are you from Qld? Thought you were a NSWman. You seem to be very passionate about Qld!

 

[Ned]

Just realised I can see the house where I used to live in this clip. lol

You lived in Palmerston North?

 

[Phobia]

Justin Horo on the Levels podcast is saying that Turbo called Daley, and told him not to select him for Origin. Good stuff Turbo!!!

Genuine question Bozo are you from Qld? Thought you were a NSWman. You seem to be very passionate about Qld!

Always good to hear from you feathered friend and I hope all is well in your nest .
I am from Northern Greece and I live in Sydney South
But it is not all about where your body lies . It is All about what Inspires you and where your spirit flies
At club footy my passion is for the Northern Sydney club the Manly Maroons
At State footy the Blues Jersey looks completely different to the Manly Maroon Jersey
At State footy I am inspired Further North by the QLD Maroon Jersey
It is Maroon or Bust for me . There is no other way
I am captivated by the Warm Maroon color which Symbolizes the passionate blood that pumps through Resilient Hearts
The Cold Pale Baby Blue NSW Jersey does not do it for me .

When you are Good Enough you are old Enough !

The coaches that hold young talented players back
Not only hold back their Talent but also hold back their self confidence .

Self Confidence is crucial to a talented young players development
Self Confidence enhances performance , resilience and self belief to set their skills free of fear , embracing challengers and taking those freakish X factor risks that are game changers

Maroon Coach Billy Slater Believes this Talented 20 year old 10 NRL Game Rookie is Ready for Origin. He is Ready to Mix it with the Best in Latrell and Crichton
To the Ignorant Blues that may be a Tall Order
To the People of The Passionate Maroon Jersey . They have seen it all Before
They have seen Debutants put on the Legendary Maroon Jersey Stand Tall
and Deliver
