Ponga, Boyd and Morgan all named to replace Slater....but no talk about Mbye, who joined camp to shadow him?

 

[Dingo]

Mbye is just a token.

 

[CroydonDog]

He's officially out. Dobbo said on MMM Brisbane about 20 minutes ago and now NRL has confirmed.

 

[Wahesh]

This is all part of QLD's tactics. NSW will win game 1, Slater will return for game 2, smashed NSW, then QLD will take out game 3, and it will be Slaters victory farewell.

Makes me sick.

 

[Wahesh]

On the plus side, very first SoO game in a long long long time with no JT, Smith, Cronk or Slater!

 

[Freakzilla]

Billy Slater ruled out of Origin 1. Apparantly Michael Morgan to play fullback with Ponga on the bench.

 

[Wearnze]

If Ponga plays, that is a bad thing for NSW.

If NSW have not been planning for Ponga, that is also very bad news for them as they only have 2-3 days to put measures in place to contain him.

no way the ponga hype will survive origin level at mcg, nrl will not allow it

 

[KLil]

Throw Mbye in you Fux!! You made him sound like he was the next big thing last week and stupid our club is. THROW HIM IN!!! Show us how good and how much uncapped potential he has... Mbye playing the highest level of the game LOL!

Mbye is disposable.

QLD gonna get a taste of the future.

 

[KiwiDog7]

If NSW cannot win this game lol

 

[adamsapple]

The last time Qld played without any of these players was game 2 2003 cronk Jt slater and smith

 

[FaceBreaker]

Ponga has to be there, he’s the only thing that will stop a nsw landslide.

Lol @ Morgan who has been playing like a park footballer this year.

 

[ThePedigree]

Can anyone answer why Mbye was called up and now no one is even mentioning his name anywhere? Not even NRL 360, News no where at all has mentioned what has happened. Does anyone know why?

 

[Wahesh]

If NSW cannot win this game lol

Watch, they'll lose fo shizzle.

 

[habs]

They got Beattie to make the calls. He called up Mbye thinking that was Ponga.

 

[Bob dog]

Has Boyd had a shit year?

 

[Wahesh]

Has Boyd had a shit year?

He's been very ordinary.

 

[Bob dog]

They should use Mbye, they sent him down there to be involved then they send in a rookie who is in his first year, slap in the face.
