On the fence with dugan. Never been **** through origin but we’ll see where fittler wants to go. I reckon Latrell will get 1 centre spot, so dugan would be a front runner for the right centre, with bird, roberts etc there in the race. I reckon freddy will have a few of his favourites regardless of form

Better result for us, one less player to have out during Origin period, factor in no Maloney or Bird now then we might only have a few representatives, potentially only two in Holmes and Graham.

Can't see Moylan getting a go.

Holmes is not a certainty. Dugan is. Graham should be but you never know with a new coach and guys like Vaughan, de Belin and Finucane in the mix. If Dugan were to cop an injury it would be entirely plausible that the sharks have 0 origin players this season.

Graham and Dugan will be in the blues squad 100%

As for Fifs does his allegiance to Tonga 100% rule him out of blues selection? or are there exceptions to be had...? Sorta a shame in a way it's not like he is declaring his nationality as Tongan just which national team he prefers to support and play for, it's good for the game and so is having Andrew in the Blues squad IMO

I agree but i think it is because there is a Tonga test that week for one of the matches.. a state thing is like where you were from where you represent, it is your state and we should have the best players playing it as long as they are from that state. His heritage is a completely different thing

Nope. If you pledge allegiance to another country you're done at Origin level.

Disrespecting blue apparently makes Fox twats want to swear but not in front of children.

Hooper's a knob. Just dirty he's not giving them the scoop, and why should he? If anything we should be celebrating a big name player's commitment to a "2nd tier" nation – particularly when he's making a large financial sacrifice.

They were comparing him to Beetson after Origin 1. Short ****ing memories, huh.
