2024 State of Origin Game 2 - Other Team Lists and Game Discussion

I like this team.

Moses and Murray were always ahead of those they come in for, as was Edwards for game one.

Latrell is a no-brainer.. love him or hate him things happen around him.

I think it'll be easier for them to get Connor Watson into the game coming off the bench than Burton.. at a minimum you can just have him making little darts in and around tired defenders.

I’d like to preface this by saying I understand that it benefits us by having Burton not picked. Having him left out is better than being 18th man. With that out of the way.

HOW STUPID ARE NSW???!

If you asked all 17 coaches in the NRL who they would prefer, Watson or Burton, 17/17 would pick Burton. 99.99% of fans would rather Burton be in their side than Watson. If both players hit the open market right now, Watson would be lucky to receive 500-600k. Burton would get 900k+. Burton is a better half than Watson. Burton is a better centre than Watson. The only position Watson is better in than Burton is maybe hooker. Burton is an all around better player than Watson period. Why NSW always makes dumb selections is beyond me. We never pick the best team and our results show.

Watson has been playing well and he covers more positions. You can put him in the halves, backs, hooker or lock and he'll do a job. Burton's the better player, by far, and I'd argue he should be in the starting side but Watson's probably the more logical 14. I'm just glad Madge isn't running a 4xforwards bench this time
 
Desperado picks Watson, Trell and Moses.

Yet drops Burto.

Leaves Jurbo in and capt.... Wonder if he gets longer than 25 mins this game.

Far out. New South Wankers.
 
It was 13 on 12. No need for change apart from Mitchell into centre.

NSW just don’t get origin!
 
Maybe Burton wasn't picked, due to the Dogs 'fuming' that he was 18th man in game 1
 
It looks like a much better side. It is a strong side.

Hope they don't turn up.

Probably right. Burtons best chance of getting picked was @ center.
 
NSW always pick shit teams, can’t believe they ran back to mitchell and picked Moses after his two shithouse games from 3 since returning, 20 min capt Turbo selected again

Would you stick with Nicho?
 
Wow, Burton absolutely screwed. Very good thing for us that he is available, though. Better to not be in the squad at all than to be 18th.

What did Matt Burton do to Maguire ?
To be left out of the 17 was a mistake considering what happened in Sydney. To miss out all together is strange.
For all you Bulldogs fans……they are currently getting 12.5 start at $1.90. Get on !

seems more a case of Madge recognising he didn't need two backup halves for game 1

Burton should be 14, if not starting half. He offers awesome utility value. Madge missed a trick again, imo. Great for us, though. Especially given they picked Watson in his place.

Watson covers more positions and I sort of agree with it. If Burton isn’t starting it’s a waste of time. Watso covers every position bar prop perfect utility
