State of Origin, 2025.

[Brookie1973]

Koula will be close next year. Latrell just chose the easy options of silly flick passes & intercepts instead of putting the work in. Showed some good quick hands over the series but also got away with a few forward passes

Agreed, but he is one of the very few who actually looks dangerous with the ball.

Playing injured players doesn’t work at this level

Chrichton and Robson should not have been picked on form either…

Jake and Terrell overlooked for King and Stefano… Laurie is a good guy but not up to Origin selection / coaching…

Tom and Jake hahaha yeah nah

Jake is the talisman to motivate the team. He can also hit like a train and get the line speed going for the first 20, freeing up Yeo to have more impact for the next 60 mins. Jake can come back on in the prop rotation if needed. Madge did this perfectly last year.

I'd have picked Tedesco and Kiraz but Turbo would have played way better than Edwards and Lomax.

I don’t think Daley should have been picked on form either.

Why can't Jake do it for us then?
Couldn't break a pasta stick let alone the line

No I was at work, and it was Souths. We'll convene in a few weeks after some decent sides face us 👌🏻

Settle down mate it’s only Origin; no one else here cares enough about it to hit the cap locks button.

Dearden MOM and series....all in Cheery's old half-back spot. $$'s has to be hating this.

As I've said, I didn't think he'd bring any more to the table than DCE did other than younger, fresher legs. And for the most part that was true. He really wasn't any better than DCE might have been (especially in younger days), but as the 9 commentators have said, Dearden brought a new energy to the position and TBH, that was probably what Queensland needed. They really did look slow in Game 1 and turned that around after DCE got dropped.

DCE this year has shown that rugby league's Father Time is fast catching up to him. It was the energy, the fresher legs and a desire to prove himself in the biggest representative arena we have that was the difference and it did make Dearden better for Qld than DCE probably would have been.

On another note....now saying fvcking on TV is accepted??

Latrell is a weapon in attack but found out all series with his lazy defence unfortunately... I would pick best over him next year if he's fit

Rumour was it was actually Gordon Piper (Bob Hatfield).

Yeah, that Gordon Piper

They're in the GF for worst animal ever

My oath. That 1935 sugar bureau who introduced them to Australia must’ve been on the Rum when they made their decision.
