I thought Cordner was in doubt too.

 

[Harvies elbow]

de Belin's in doubt as well.

God I hope we smash them, smug ****ing Queenslanders , great people for about 45 weeks of the year , the rest, smug pricks!!

 

[torana355]

Jake will cut them in half and feed them to Krazy Klemmer

 

[HK_Eagle]

Hopefully this is the wake up call DCE needed. I hope he's burning inside and works extra hard for the rest of the year and in the off-season to get his IQ below 20, and takes some inarticulation coaching. If he works hard in these two areas there is a chance he scrapes into the Bowraville Boy's Club origin side next year.

 

[Harvies elbow]

I'm going to ring channel nein and demand a another half hour special on Billy to be shown straight after the half hour special on JT.
Surely we deserve that.
If the retirement from origin of one player can make this mob of dinosaurs start their telecast a half hour early then anything is possible.
And you can bet that the game will start......
A half hour late !!!

 

[globaleagle]

Whilst we all do our collective nuts over the dce omission, I hope that NSW remember that just because he isn't selected, doesn't mean game III will be a walk in the park.

They really need to be on and there's injury concerns in the blues camp as well. They need a series victory to start an era of belief.

QLD always believe they are in the game and never give up and it seems like nsw believe that about Qld as well....so when a comeback starts NSW go...'Oh no, it's the Qld comeback!' - and let it happen!

Qld are (probably) loving everyone writing them off 'yet again' and they could be enjoying the dce circus as strategically it takes everyone's focus off the actual game.

But there's still a week or so yet. Plenty of time to get their heads in the game.

I'm going to be in Queensland all next week and will not be able to cope if Queensland win. Given an even share of ****house refereeing calls, I reckon NSW can get the win but I'm a little worried we're carrying too many injuries to get over the line.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Sadly it will be played to a script , Thurston to retire, Cronk to retire and possibly Slater also.

It's in Queensland in front of 50,000 rabid two headed Queenslanders baying for blood.

Chan 9, the ARL, the QRL will want a fairy tale, only the refs can guarantee that.

And,



They will!!


If NSW are anywhere near them at half time you watch the Pinkies penalise NSW 8-0 in the second half ( it was 6-0 in Sydney) to ensure this happens.

 

[manlyfan76]

This is why the pinnacle games should be played under international rules with one neutral ref.

 

[ricardo]

Morgan at centre? Wtf

 

[HappilyManly]

Morgan at centre? Wtf

Hope the Bacardi Bros have a breezer with his dead eyed presence.

It's like clockwork.....

Veteran full-back Billy Slater has sent a scare through the Queensland camp ahead of potentially his last State of Origin game, suffering an ankle injury late at training on Sunday.
