Myles, Thaiday, Scott, Lillyman?
Parker, Gillett, Guerra, Papalii?

Be bloody hard to leave Papalii out in the form he's in.

I'd leave out Lillyman. He was always on the fringe anyway.

Myles is always reliable come origin time, so cant see him being dropped.

They need Thaiday for diversity. That and he always has god like performances at origin level.

At Origin Level

At Origin Level.............

Worse. Traded out Hastings for TMM and missed out on his 50's and 60's.

Who else is considering trading out Taupau? Unless Walker gets dropped there's no way he's gonna bust out the 50s he's supposed to bring me.

Barrett coming out and saying Koro will be dropped as soon as DCE returns. What an idiot.

well i was close to trading merrin then he scored 81 so i think i'll apply the same logic to taupau.

seriously though walker, pass him the fucken ball.

Also don't know if its been mentioned, but Parker came out and dampened those "rat" rumors.

I read somewhere that it was McGuire, was this confirmed here or with other sources?

Bull has played the last five origin. Don't agree that he's on the fringe.
Maybe he would be the most likely to miss out but I don't see them dropping him for McGuire.

Wow thought I was going ok til I logged on here today lol 624 with 4 to play, outside chance at 800 but I think 780 is the lowest I'd be ok with. It's a funny old game though so who knows

Fox said it was McGuire.

But McGuire has to be there you would think. I cant see any of those others players being dropped.
Lillyman was dropped in a few of the game for other players. I vaguely recall Kennedy being in the team? Then he was dropped again later.


And was Mcguire injured last year around origin time? Is that why he wasnt there?

You would not agree he is most likely to be dropped?

Surely on form napa has a shot of making the QLD team

He's part of the QLD 8 that got banned for the year. It's not in the QLDer spirit to do something against their morals when they're losing.

manlybeaver wrote:Surely on form napa has a shot of making the QLD team

Napa is banned for this year after breaking curfew during origin camp earlier this year.

manlybeaver wrote:Surely on form napa has a shot of making the QLD team

1 year ban from breaking curfew. Cannot play origin

Is this a good move. Thinking of trading walker out this week or next for a fullback that might play during origin probably abbey. this will allow me to swap feeney and barba around in the halves and fullback position.
next 2 weeks trades would be

blaw - fenson
walker- abbey
saifiti - fifita

Well whats the word on Arey?

Like I said, maybe he would be the most likely to be dropped but that doesn't mean he will be dropped.
I don't see them picking McGuire over him even though McGuire is quality.
Then again, new coach - who knows. Walters might have different values/ideas to what Mal did.

Is Sue injured? How long for? Dammit.

Curse update: Mau (32) in for Merrin (81), Taupau (27) captain

Is it just me or does Taupau have Woods-itis where he coasts the game so he can play 80mins?
Although to be fair, the Warriors were PATHETIC. Not NRL standard.

mcguire played game one and two last year and missed game three because of injury. i think he is 100% ahead of lillyman.

tbh, i think they'll pick both on the bench. is guerra a certainty? his form has been woeful. anyway this is getting a bit derailed from fantasy chat

lukeaye wrote:Well whats the word on Arey?

Back this week apparently. I guess we find out which of Keary/Walker get dropped for him.

i didnt see much of that game but 6 runs (zero tb's) and 19 tackles in 80 mins. i can cop the 19 tackles because it was high scoring game and he defends an edge, but his attacking output is nowhere near what it should be. and in previous games i can put alot of it down to walker not passing it to him.

a guy like taupau though, you just have to be getting him more ball. you look at a scorecard with manly scoring 36 pts and you'd think he would have had at least a few beast runs in there.
