Review

As I write this I am looking at my tips for the weekend and wondering where again did I go so horribly wrong.

 

 

Parramatta..who could tip them?.. they play like busteds for a month and then put 3 tries on in 12 minutes thinking they were superstars...

 

 

Manly, surely they were gonna show something?..Noe they showed bubkus and I hope like me you backed them to miss the 8, because they will.

 

 

Brisbane win everything but lose by plenty? the thunderstorm and lightning was a weird thing and I was hoping the game would get called off. Roosters and Cronulla well that was anyone's guess.

 

 

Without Penrith and the Dragons I would've got zero.

 

 

I did say the score in the Tigers Dogs game would be something all with a minute to go..so I was close but I reckon we all knew that would be a great game.

So the Kangaroo selectors pretty much picked the same team that got beaten in the world cup final and the question has to be asked, should they have?

 

 

Did Watmough deserve his spot, Glenn Stewart or was there better form players? Well I agree with them. I reckon the Aussie players who are out of form will be so happy to play in this test they will play themselves back into form.

Playing around Lockyer, Folou, Slater and Smith will do wonders for Hodges, Stewart, Watmough and even Kite who are all a bit suss at the moment..and thats not picking on the Manly players.. It will do Thurston the world of good also to be around the stars.. and they won everything bar one game last year so sacking them for 1 loss would have been harsh.

 

 

The Kiwis have made a few changes but are there players in some great form or what?

 

 

Asotasi, Issac Luke, Benji make me believe they will give our boys a real run on Friday night..

 

 

And speaking of Friday night..for once we have a fair dinkum City Country match with no less than 10 origin jumpers on the line and the jim bobs put the game on the same night!!!  Great idea snapperhead.

 

 

I mean why not do something different and play it on a Saturday afternoon in Orange rather than the Friday night. Even Saturday arvo a Wade Park would be chockers with the locals. It would rate well on telly...or Thursday night and the footy show could follow.. I dunno anything but the same night as the test match.

If I was to pick a NSW State Of Origin team now it would probably be very wrong like most of my tips but both Laurie Daley and John Cartwright told us today that they would hang a Blue Jersey in the rooms and say if you guys want this then come and get it.

 

 

The bottom line is, that if Luke Stuart at age 32 or Keith Galloway at 23 play out of their skin this Friday they should, and will get picked. Its just a shame most wont wait up to see it.

 

 

Don’t forget next Monday night..Rooty Hill RSL for the Monday night forum with Noddy and the Big Man
