Ofahengaue has been pus for the Tigers, if he's making their bench QLD are dredging the barrel. If NSW fire they could put 40 on them.

Ponga is out. Either Brimson or Holmes will be Fullback

Correct.

Just heard on Sunrise that Townsville put up 80 million to get the game.

When questioned about qld having the first 2 games at home giving them a big advantage Andrew Abdo evaded the question by replying it's in the best interests of the game.


Clean out needed at nrl headquarters.
$80M? The reports I heard were like between $5M and $8M.

Its unfortunate there are 2 games in a row in QLD, but Covid has caused all sorts of shit circumstances unfortunately. The Warriors relocating, bubbles, in ESL the Wolfpack basically folded.

Townsville was probably one of the few realistic options. What others? probably Newcastle or Canberra?

If NSW are good enough, they should win.

So QLD are getting a 2 game advantage.

THIS IS WHY SOO SHOULD NOT HAVE 1 GAME PER YEAR AT A NEUTRAL GROUND!!!

At least if it was happening here then they can just apply the game advantage the following year. This is patheteic.

LOL The NRL are a joke. Kaufusi got off his tripping charge. At least there isn't any corruption here.

Is was more of a strike then a trip. He more than likely had an intention to trip.

Shocked that Brimson is not starting now. Holmes to fullback and Feldt wing.
That's a win for us Holmes in and Ponga out, should never underestimate these bastards(take note NSW from last year)but Holmes is iffy under big pressure probably capable of a fuck up or two(though i think Brimson may have been too)therefore i see this as an advantage.Aside from his highball prowess i could see Feldt being under extreme pressure at times too, To'o will try and steamroll him and may succeed.

Just need our forwards to break even, have the wreckers come into the game from our great looking bench after digging in for the first third of the game and we got this.
Don't win games in the backs but we ooze class there..Turbo to maybe provide some assistance on the high kicks which will be their plan A scoring option.

It’s a little worrying the best backs Queensland have are glory hole and feldt :expressionless: even Holmes at fullback is cringeworthy. Hopefully Brimson starts. But I doubt the backline changes from what was named.

One is a backrower and the other does kickoffs. Neither are brilliant in their role. Hopefully with pinga back next game They don’t need to use either (especially capewell, guy should be coming off the bench).

Gagai always becomes Inglis in Origin. Munster is the best player in Origin.

This Kaufusi is fast becoming the NRL's equivalent of Lance Franklin. He can do almost anything & either doesn't get charged or a light sentence. Who does he have photos of?
