and I reckon Monoghan in for Lyon.

Now there is an interesting proposition. Could also bring in Tongue for Poore or Kite, but we all know Gallen will get the position (bloody thug).

Cannot believe how much of a beat-up the NSW media is going with over the first try, the game evened itself out by the 80 minute mark, to overcome the poor officiating.

Isn't Gordon injured at the moment?

[optimus1]

I think Gordon is actually a QLDer

Yes I am biased but if he wasn't injured I'd be calling for big "Keefy" to get a run... Hang on I have it. I know who should be called up for origin 2... SKANDO!

Considering this guy's character (well, lack of it), I can't believe Cronulla even _elevated_ him to thye captaincy in the first place. It was always going to a matter of time before that came back to bite them in the spidplate.

And FWIW, Tongue is a much better captain - he's not the most talented bloke but at least he's honest (and I can't name a Raider who put more heart into his team and his own game since Lozza).

I didn't see the game (and don't care), but seeing the replays and freeze frames on TV, I'm inclined to say they got it _right_. Having said that, showing 47 replays or whatever it was is a bit silly - and the benefit of the doubt was clearly not taken into consideration.

Tongue, Price and Civonoceva are the three captains that bleed for their team, and would be the first three names I would use if suggesting to young players on which to model their behaviour and decorum. Players like these three, Menzies, Buderus, Campbell and Webke are the ones who suffer the most from the behaviour of the idiots in the game.

(notice anything about all of these players named? All older statesmen)

Joel Monaghan in for Jennings? Hmmm, I know I suggested him in an earlier post, but I was able to see both the Morris boys play for their respective clubs the other week, and was really impressed, they will be NSW players in the future no doubt. Big, strong and most importantly fast, I would love to see them both playing for NSW, but yeah what are you gonna do...

On the AFL side of things, my club (Kangaroos) just lost our coach, and fingers crossed we get either Buckley, Longmire or King, whom I don't think is really looking for a senior coaching position but being a former Kangaroos player would have that shinboner spirit that us Kangas love haha

[blackie]

hopefully kangas take bucks, means he wont go to richmond, cause i dont want him :P

[jacksplatt11]

Why not? You want Rawlings full time? haha what a hack
