This is why I did Whitehead>Merrin as soon as lockout was over

With 19 trades I feel like it might be take a punt week.
Will mean keeping Niko for a round longer than had hoped but Merrin and Edwards look so juicy.

Kelly> Edwards via Cotric
Whitehead > Merrin

Worth a shot?

Take a break from fantasy boys its origin day!!!

Come on you BLUES!!!!!!!!

Fucking dribble

3 games of Origin and a few Tests is still way too much bear. Foxtel is a deadset saviour.

Found this on the roar:

UPDATE: The official State of Origin 1 kick-off time is 8:12pm, according to the NRL’s run-sheet.

I don't buy it. I'm betting 8:22

Happy Birthday @Sik

Is it just me or has the build up to this years origin series been quiet compared to previous years? Hopefully there won't be any injuries to any players tonight especially Fantasy relevant players like Smith, Fifita etc

Can't wait to see Friz give Papalii a slap

I don't care much about the bet I just want to see a decent game!

Can't wait for some of the collisions between the big men, I hope Papa and Friz find each other in the middle of the park, 2 top quality big men running hard

Yeah should be a cracker with Papa back on the edge where he belongs. Also keen to see Napa come out to prove a point as all forwards tend to try for on their debut. Might ruffle some feathers and give it some good feeling. 

The shit news is I've just had a meeting pushed back which is now not scheduled to finish till 30min after kick off....

Smith should be kicking in JT's absence right? Not sure whether that influences your decision or not, but something else to consider. He's got the C in mine.

Yeah he would be the kicker.

I'm going with
Smith - C
McGuire - VC
Papa
Pearce
Chambers
Oates

No bias involved at all there  
Chambers and Oates to run rampant on the back of a dominant forward pack with Pearce doing a ton of tackling and kicking from deep in his own half with maybe picking up a sympathy solo try in the last 10min of the game.

Gone with:

Smith (vc)
Fifita
Papalii
Milford (c)
Chambers
Tedesco

Probably be a complete bust, but you've got to gamble to win these things.

It makes no difference that Smith is the kicker because they aren't going to score any tries. Go the Blues.

My fantasy season has been absoute horseshit this year so going with

Smith C
Woods
Papalii VC
Cronk
Gagai 
Boyd

Hex all those QLD berks and Woods is shit anyway

I've kept quite about origin because I intended to sneak out but now the fucking meeting is late starting and I'm about to strangle someone

Smith (vc), Fifita, Papalii, Pearce (c), Ferguson, Tedesco.
