Official 2010 Aussie NRL Thread

Gallen is a representative flop. I'l bet he is not in the top 5 forwards on the park next week.

 

I feel Gallen is the most overrated forward in league, except maybe Petero.

 

Im not the biggest NSW fan but i think it ****ing disgraceful that either Soward or Jennings cant get a run.

NO wonder you guys lose like you do.

2005 was the last State of Origin win for you guys.

All i will say is thanks to all the selectors from NSW.

Maroons to go 5 years in a row.

 

they think and with good reason Soward will be a defensive liability.they will aim the big guys at him all night tiring him and blunting his attack.i think John Sutton would be perfect for origin football no offence to Barrett but N.S.W should be blooding players for the future.unfortunately you are probably right about QLD going 5 in a row.

 

The big forwards attack soward all day in the NRL....he dont miss that many anymore...his defence is much better and IMO his attack and combination with cooper, Morris and Creah will lead to a try or 3.

 

INGLIS IS FROM NSW.......how does that **** work???? he plays against his tribe?!!

 

correct.Bowraville its a QLD thing.Brad Thorne kiwi was allowed to play for them too.SBW would never be allowed to play for N.S.W.

 

Queensland had to bend the rules just to keep origin alive years ago.

Adrian Lam a Queenslander?

 

:-( surely your kidding...

 

Sowards not that bad in defence. Everyone saw the fend inglis put on him and just automatically thinks thats what happens every time he tackles but its not. Besides its not like peirce and kimmorley are noted defenders...
How can they bring kimmorley back after a dozen or so flops and not chance ONE game on soward/orford or even preston campbell a DALLY M winner for ****s sake..

 

Its all about where you played your first A grade game, in Australia.

And yes I am serious Petero is not that great.

 

For NSW it depends on how much **** you are willing to take. Thats my opinion. There have been some oof the biggest Snubs in Origin but only for NSW.

I not much of a fan of Mundine. Not at all but he said it best if you are a aboriginal talent in NSW you might aswell move to Queensland cos you got **** all chance of playing for the BLues.

In fact who was the last player that was a aboriginal picked for NSW.

I was wondering anyone know.
Is Idris, he looks more like a islander.

 

Phil Duke from the Mooree Boomerangs.

 

Yeah Idris is Aboriginal. NSW also have Tahu and Learoyd-Lahrs who are Aboriginal.

 

I would have agreed 5 years ago but now he would walk into any team in the nrl and is routinely voted by the guys he plays against as the best there is.. None other than gorden tallis rates him the toughest man hes ever met..
