NSWRL's ability to shoot itself in the foot time and time again knows no limit.
Queensland could decide to field a team of one-eyed players only to make it a contest that NSW would try and one up them with a team full of blind people.
My interest for Origin has waned over the years, but this kind of dumb decision-making is absolutely infuriating.

During the ‘dynasty’ I certainly didn’t agree with every selection but the fact we’ve got dumber with selections since games became winnable again doesn’t make for good watching

Walsh and Drinkwater ineligible, Latrell and Turbo spent most of the season injured... Teddy Bradbury'd his way there. Gutho probably miffed!

If Penrith win it’s 3 in a row, best team ever, blah blah blah.

If they lose, they’ve won only won 2 from 4 - the same as the Melbourne Storm sides of 06, 07, 08, 09

Win or lose, legally making 4 grandfinals in a row is riduculous

As good as Penrith are and with their solid defence, I think Brisbane has got the attack to worry them.

My prediction - 24-12 Brisbane.

Well seeing as there hasn’t been any allegations of Penrith cheating, and no proof has come about any potential Penrith cheating. I’m just going to assume that they haven’t cheated, like a normal, rational member of this society should and would.

If something comes out in the coming years that says otherwise, well we’ll react to it then, like we did with Melbourne, Canterbury and of course, us.

But until then, they absolutely have the presumption that they’re not doing anything wrong. Anything different would be completely unreasonable and unfair towards them.

Bronx have the game to take it to Penrith but they need it stick near every time. Penrith will plug away & punish any errors.

Penrith's D will not fall apart. Brisbane's isn't as good. I'll back tackles over offloads. Penrith for mine but if any style is a chance its Brisbane's.
