Anyone think QLD could put up a fight? Exciting young players but NSW seem like they could win every game by a couple of tries..

I'm worn out on the league season but I'm like that every year come grand final... probably just the changing of the weather, but I'm ready for test match cricket now.

I think the series will be closer than what is "expected".

Feel like Brimson will officially announce himself as a "star" / household name.

Looks like he won't be tempting for fantasy at least.

Unless Matterson gets money hungry again and decides to try and force an exit

Heard from a very reliable source that Adam Keighran will be signing with the Roosters shortly.

Wonder what the plan is with him

Waterboy?

Come on just to kick goals like NFL???

Roosters goalkicking stocks aren't that good with Flanagan leaving, probably leaves SST first choice GK (which either means he plays 80 mins or they use 2 GK for when SST is on bench)

SOO teams named

NSW should absolutely kick the shit out of QLD this year.

Given those teams, they'd be a laughing stock if they don't win.

Yeah mate, I was born in India so every time the team comes to Australia it's great fun getting along to a few games. The big bash with 3 international players and the India Australia series is going to be great viewing imo.

On paper, NSW should win easy but as the series is being played at the end of the year and origin always open to unexpected results it'll be interesting to see how the series plays out!

How does Mofo, Carrigan and Grant miss out?? Is Bennett dillusional?

Klemmer dropped for bad attitude last series apparently. Missed game 2 with a wrist injury and was only recalled for game 3 with Sims suspended. I'd forgotten about that, kinda disappointing. Would prefer Klem over Paulo.

Seeing Keary there sucks too, especially with Wighton and Cody in the 17. Still hope that he'll pull out last minute

I have my doubts about Guth as a big game player too, but should be valuable experience playing alongside guys that are.

Munster and DCE will be spending a lot of time with hands on hips and heads down, unless admiring our greatness, by the looks of their squad. Viewership at halftime in Qld will probably reflect their score with a big fat 0. Getting ridiculous now. Hopefully Ponga's back for the remainder.

Pretty sure Ponga is out for the series... Cam Smith will play games 2 and 3. Val should be back also for 2 and 3...

Hope we get pummelled and Bennett is forced to add some actual skill into that side.

Already have my fantasy team picked

Ah fuck, you're right about Ponga. 2021 he's listed to return. That tarnishes this series win a little for me.

Grant, Mofo and Carrigan not bad shouts as you mentioned, but could be some fantasy bias at play there. Grant I think is worth a shot. Mofo and Carrigan probably need more time.

#funfact my dad is from from India, came to Aus age 20, and met my mum here. He supports Australia but has a soft spot for the Indian side, guess I do too as a result. Will never forget when my Tendulkar was out here aged 20ish and my dad told me to watch this kid, he'll be one of the greats one day.

Grant I can understand. I think I would rather Friend at 9 and Hunt at 14 but I agree that Mofo and Carrigan would be huge for us.

Sione Mata’utia heading to UK.
Knights to step up pursuit of Clifford.
Tautau Moga to join rabbits. (DT)

Tautau Moga has apparently signed with Souths.

MOGA ON THE MOVE

Tautau Moga will reunite with Wayne Bennett at Souths next year with the centre agreeing to join the Rabbitohs.

Moga will play for his fifth NRL club since debuting for the Roosters in 2012. He produced his best season during a one year stint under Bennett at Brisbane in 2017 before he joined the Knights in 2018.

Source Daily Telegraph.


If you ask me this is an underwhelming signing.

Moga has been very very injury prone and for mine he has discipline issues and defensive issues.

I hope he goes well with us and proves me wrong.

Benji to the Cows on a cheap one year deal is very close to happening as well so he will re-unite with Todd Payten.

This level of off-season shit posting is very underwhelming so far.
