NRL 2025

listening to the Sports Breakfast this morning and all the nuffies ringing in to tell Laurie who to pick. The main thing it did is ram home how fucking stacked NSW are this year, and their biggest thing is who to leave out.
Edwards, Tedesco, Papi, Turbo, Latrell, Best, Lomax, To'o, Chichton. 9 of the best players in the comp for 5 spots.
I can't even pick a Qld backline. We need Hammer to play two positions. We need to drag DCE out of rep retirement. I know Qld do this shit every year, hell Mal used to try it with the greatest Origin team of all time, but this year is seriously depressing.
-
Tedesco, Kiraz, Olakau'atu, Papi, Turbo and W,Egan, Hynes will all likely miss which is impressive.
Capewell may end up having to be in the Qld squad purely for experience due to form and injuries this year. I assume Ponga has to play fullback just to allow Hammer to play centre. Will be interesting selections incoming. I am going to assume Lindsay Collins (who only comes back this week) and Horse will be the starting front row. Nanai, Cotter pick themselves, Gilbert better as a middle but poor as an edge.. Not sure if Plath will be fit to back up Grant. A few old timers could be rolled out -
god i hope you are wrong on just so many of those calls. If Capewell gets picked i am not even watching.
Bro Tino is starting. Cotter probably the other prop but his form is shit. Hopefully Gilbert plays in the middle. I would pick Horse, he is nuts and you need that. Tino Gilbert and Carrigan is nice starting middle to take on the NSW metre eaters in Hass, May (if selected) and Barnett.
The NSW back row is fucking loaded as well. It's not fucking fair!!!

Sadly his catching under the high ball wasn't.

The very definition of rocks and diamonds
-
SKD 2.0 appropriately at the roosters
-
Newcastle call board meeting Monday, Origin time a great time to sack a coach and it get lost in other media hype. AOB 1.01 favourite for first coach goone now

Long overdue.

Kalyn Ponga obviously couldn't be fucked saving his job this year
-
Wahs have had a lot of luck as well, just terrible calls in general
Just be happy we are not at the cursed 14-0
-
Just seen the game.
Pretty tidy performance, except for the last 8 minutes.
God damn we need to learn how to shut the door on teams. There’s no way the Dolphins should have got that close in the end.
Discipline was very poor today, gave away a lot of penalties and set re-starts including 2 or 3 on the last tackle when there was just no need.
-
We are crap at finishing off teams but you take the two points every day
Kevvie is the QLd Blocka and proof CTE is real

Up the Wahs!
