2020 State Of Origin Thread

[Proud Shark]

Shouldn't matter too much. He is only keeping the seat warm for Ponga - even Brimson when fit.

I reckon essentially behind Holmes too. Only reason for the change is Val is incredible on the wing and Allen is ****. Also Sami had to be replaced.

Val is a better fullback head to head.

 

[Jaz]

Bennett has confirmed Allan to fullback, Holmes to wing.

Coates is also 50/50 to play, with our boy Edrick as backup.

 

[Gumby]

Capewell to second row
Brenko Lee to centres
Su'a to bench
Lui to drop out

 

[Gumby]

Coates is out.

Edrick to debut

 

[stormshark]

Coates is out.

Edrick to debut

Still wish we Had Cedrick, good player, hope he goes well in a soundly beaten side.

 

[egg]

Is he RETARDED ?
Just shut the F up , total EGO ( whether his statement is true or not )
Imagine if Jimmy Maloney came out and said Storm are a crap team just prior to Grand Final
Gal would have belted him for adding additional motivation and FIRING UP the opponent UN-NECESSARILY .

[slide rule]

Gal gets paid to stir up QLD.

Didn’t he even get paid to start some controversy when he was captain?

 

[bort]

People think Gal is just throwing opinions out there, like ringing up the radio and spouting his opinion or slinging abusive garbage on twitter, and then 'the media' are sharing them.

No, Gallen IS the media. Every opinion going out there is intentionally put out there to sell NRL media, SOO tickets/views, himself as a media personality etc
He's saying it because it benefits him. He quite possibly also believes it is true* but I don't think he'd say it if he didn't want to.

*I am sure he also may believe they are a weak team and know they could still play like Qld at the same time.

Didn't realise Brenko and Edrick were cousins, kind of cool they are making debut on same night.

Brenko playedgame one didn't he?

I read somewhere that they are related to Patty Mills

 

[Bundy Shark]

No, never ended up suiting up, Capes was his replacement

 

[Sparkles]

I read somewhere that they are related to Patty Mills

So we just need to sign Patty and we get the Lee cousins

 

[Bundy Shark]

So we just need to sign Patty and we get the Lee cousins

Doesn’t count, his surname is not Lee.......

Yeah I knew that about Eddy already.
Family seem to have reasonable sporting genes.

Hard to play in genes, too. Makes them even more impressive, really

 

[Cage]

Unless they are genetically modified Levis :glasses-cool:

 

[Capital_Shark]

Looking forward to this. Feels a little more like Origin than the last 2.

C'mon QLD! Nice tight suffocating Origin match and grudge it out 20-18 or 16-14.

 

[Addy]

Gal knows how it works, some well tuned **** stirring will keep him in the news for the next few weeks.

And yeah he got paid $50k for the 'two heads' comment, from the NRL, not included in any cap

 

[HaroldBishop]

Looking forward to this. Feels a little more like Origin than the last 2.

Yeah full stadium definitely helps.
