Queensland may be heading for 10 straight State of Origin victories. That's right, 10 straight. Oh the therapy! At the start of the 2012…
With the ANZAC Test looming it has got me thinking about the benefits such a Test could have, on both sides of the world,…
Brett Stewart wearing a Manly jersey has been both a blessing and a hindrance during his career at Brookvale. In 2009 Stewart was caught…
Turbo Koula and Garrick all fit next yr brings a welcome head ache for the back line.

If only Garrick could kick into the wind !

Need Latrell like Manly Needed Stewart. Gun players need to be fit and firing or it’s a miss. One player, it all hinges on one player.
ANALYSIS: Cody Walker stole the show in Origin III - so why didn't Freddie pick him earlier?
How many premierships has Cody won?

When you drop half the team every time you lose and prey for rain like Fred’s coaching style sooner or later you will win a game, but to say perfect coaching Fred you all along is a little “how’s your father”, !

Ah hindsight, what a genius it makes us!

Freddie has a theory that if he keeps picking different players when he loses eventually a team will fall out to win for him. Gamble Responsibly!
No rhyme or reason to Fittler's haphazard Blues selections as Maroons keep laughing at constant team changes
Sydney maddogs!
NRL Power Rankings: Can we have multiple teams in last place as Tigers, Dogs and Dragons circle the drain
I feel for the NSW players if Fitler has his contract extend, his lack of faith the players he selected will be eveident with all the egg shells in the sheds no one can be confident. A few selections have been made not by a unifying team building coach but a coach who has lost the plot and the state. Moses will get rushed when kicking deep because Walker hasn’t got a long kick game but Hynes does and what happened to giving him a run using a dead rubber to blood him for next year, Fitler having Joey there says it all really, Mud runs downhill!
'I don’t think there were too many changes': Fittler denies taking axe to Origin squad despite seven new faces
Talking like it’s game one again. You blew it trying to out select the opponent instead of looking after your own yard you are peaking over the fence. Someone like Dean pay or Lazarus would be a better fit for Origin over the likes of Freddy and Joey in there , they work in the media and when Joey decides to bag the very players he has to coach they don’t want to be near him I bet. Lose by under 10 and axe half the side without giving them the chance to redeem heAd scratching stuff !

Then there’s Jake T, one game in why not !
Blues Origin III team: Fittler going down swinging the axe as besieged coach chops and changes in bid to save his skin
Fitler has shown again he has no faith in his original selections and has lost that many games and players through being beat by less than a try that he has picked more head scratchers, I hope they can find a better coach next yr ferry is always in the clouds.

Why is A Woods playing ! If he is there for experience then surely he knows he is stealing a spot in the 17 from say S Fainu who is still developing and could use the experience way more than Arron flopalot Woods!

Hoping for a shift in the tide for the Red V !

What injury has Turbo got cause nothing has been mentioned in the press? Mitchel is the type of player you give every second to get right and play and C Grahyis a rookie and needs to run with the squad unlike the three fitness concerned players so it’s all as per program except no flu or viral infection in the Q camp yet , mmm.
Blues duo on track for Origin but fitness concerns lingering for Latrell
Wow what a small bench for Origin, oh well I’ll cheer for em anyway and hope NSW centres run amok again, I feel that Turbo has been building. Fingers crossed , go the BLUES.
NSW Origin II team: Hynes pays price for dip in form, Moses, Cook recalled, Pangai punted, rising stars to debut
As long as the half back they select completes a good kicking game for 80 mins and Mitchell makes it then Luai Mitchel Turbo and Teddy will win NSW the game, simple game plan let the freaks off the leash.
Round 15 Talking Points: New duo will light up Origin, Moses wins Blues battle, NRL sides get mid-year wobbles
Hopefully no more injuries between now and game 2. Whether we agree or not with his selections he picked his team and has to back it and only change through injuries and suspensions. The team should stay the same apart from selecting a new half and how that plays with the squad from there. I like Hynes but Suncorp game 2 and Walker at 5/8, who’s kicking !
Bad news for Blues after Panthers announce Cleary hamstring scan results: 'Some serious issues there'
I hope Teddy has the best 2 Origin games ever scene then decides to put his rep career away. He has earned the right to leave on his own terms or he ends embarrassing himself by falling over every time the camera pans past ( Que Benny Hill theme). My first thought about Freddy when given the coaching gig was how long before he starts going airy with selections and last yr was weird now this yr, he now should stick to his selections and once Mitchell is fit and he will pick Turbo without a game live or die by his selections. D Edwards isn’t the best fb for NSW however as a team Mitchell and turbo in centres Edwards FB is a stronger team then moving Turbo or Mitchell and adding another centre. Cook on the bench btw.
Battered Maroons pull off stunning comeback on 'really poor' Blues to put Fittler's future in jeopardy
Kick off already Geez!

Just watched the highlights and anyone who sees the calls that were and or weren’t made, it’s totally rubbish park reffing at best, Rubbish! I’m sure Knights fans have had there share as well this yr but seriously that’s low standard.
ANALYSIS: Bradman back to best as Manly's attack disappears - and Ponga has to stay at fullback
Shu needs to get a full season under his belt before any conversations for rep honour, wade at the same age was 5/8 at penrith.Wilton I’ve heard his name before I’ll keep an eye on him.
NSW Origin I team: Hynes, Pangai, Young to debut, Turbo, Frizell, Foxx back but duo ruled out in new-look side
It’s always an option to have him roaming up front like state of origin and the likes of Koula and Garrick and Saab at the back. Koula is a fullback playing centre but as a fullback he averages 300 + metres a game tries try assists just as potent only faster. It’s a welcome headache to have considering Turbo is arguably the best fullback in the game , lol
