How the Fu*k can you promote Wighton to the starting side?? Bloke is useless as and got Queensland back in the game
Is it April fools day? Saifiti??? And no props on the bench??? Wighton???
Someone tell me how Simms got in when heโs been playing like a busted ar$e.
Two centers who have never played there in their lives. Wade graham has played 2 games. Blake Ferguson, the icing on the cake, butter fingers. Easily the worst NSW side ever. 3-0 Queensland (I support NSW).
Where is Stitch Aubassun ?
There has to be an investigation.
Seriously the selectors need to be p!ss tested for illegal substances. Wade Graham FFS, what drug user came up with that selection. And why get rid of Mitchell just because of one crap game. Maloney I can understand because that tool walker should never have been there to start with but Wighton in the centres, thatโll do me.
Have to totally agree. I was so upset they picked whighton for the first game and my worst nightmare came true he loses us the game when he came on!
An absolute miracle if we win with this team!
Bob, agreed, agreed, and agreed.
Total nonsense Woody.
Laws of probability finally gets 1 right.
Genius. Lol
It’s obvious to the astute observer Latrell is not happy at the Roosters and the move to Souths will bring the best from him again.
Matter of time now.
Good to see the dud walker couldnโt make the side, he just canโt handle the pressure. He will always be a small game player.
When a song is more important then winning games, you donโt deserve to play origin
Love the support that the Blues are getting from their supporters…….. you guys really are so supportive!!!!
FFS!! Thatโs the squad that Fitler picked…… who f*#king cares!!!!! Canโt we all get behind this team and hope they can take Game III to a decider instead of bi*#hing and moaning on who shouldโve and shouldnโt have been picked……
Jesus Christ itโs the same thing every year!! We had friggen cry babies last year complaining about the team that was picked and we ended up winning the bloody series.
Come the f*#k down and letโs start getting behind the team and showing some love
“Come” down, you’re getting emotional.
So whats your excuse for Latrell not singing it as well Back2Smack19?
You know wat I meant…… and bloody oath Iโm emotional….. it burns me how everyone has a b*#ch about the selection of the team….. but then if we win……. no one says a thing AND if they do itโs to say that QLD played like s*#t and thatโs why NSW won.
Yeh ok u can debate and disagree with the choices made but to turn around and say โwatch QLD win, QLD to win the series 3-0, Fitler is a muppetโ it really shows how much everyone really supports NSW.
