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 he’s 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, that’ll 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 couldn’t make the side, he just can’t handle the pressure. He will always be a small game player.
When a song is more important then winning games, you don’t deserve to play origin
Love the support that the Blues are getting from their supporters…….. you guys really are so supportive!!!!
FFS!! That’s the squad that Fitler picked…… who f*#king cares!!!!! Can’t we all get behind this team and hope they can take Game III to a decider instead of bi*#hing and moaning on who should’ve and shouldn’t have been picked……
Jesus Christ it’s 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 let’s 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 I’m 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 it’s to say that QLD played like s*#t and that’s why NSW won.
Yeh ok u can debate and disagree with the choices made but to turn around and say “watch QLD win, QLD to win the series 3-0, Fitler is a muppet” it really shows how much everyone really supports NSW.
