Burton joins origin squad

[D.O.W.]

Freddy would be spewing. Surely he prefers Burton there over Crichton. Burton is a much better option defensively and in attack.
Also, I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but Campbell Graham surely would be punching himself right now

100% - Surely Campbell Graham is next in line…Cleary can put up equally troubling bombs for Walsh

Doggies killing it with 4 origin players!

Burton better than Crichton in defence ? Nah sorry

2 Bulldogs and a future Bulldog in the 17 plus another Bulldog as 18th man. Not bad for a team outside the 8. Imagine how many rep players we'll have when we're a top 4 team again?

Preston, Critta will be there next year

With Cleary in doubt I bet Flanagan is next inline...

Preston has the makings of an Origin player. Don't know about next year but he's certainly on the right trajectory.

This overpaid centre keeps making all the rep teams. TBF he shits Graham though

 

[Eesma]

He is up to bare arses now, they pull their shorts down and rub their arses on the grass like dogs do lol

Josh Reynolds or Kyle Flanagan in for Burton ?

Why wouldn't Burton back up? He's 18th man. Even if he did start, he's every chance of backing up.

Only a proven dumb fuck would play Chricton ahead of Burton in the centres

Yes, and that proven dumb fuck is Freddy

In a purely functional sense, Cleary's bombs may be as good as or even better than Burto's, but it's the mental side of it for the Qld back 3 that will unsettle them more taking Burto's rather than Cleary's bombs. Perception >> reality.

It is Freddy we’re talking about

Is Fattrel injured? Must’ve been injured for a while barely moves in South’s game makes origin a much better watch with Burton too. All have to back up against roosters though.

 

[Bulldog1966]

I reckon Chrichton plays and that's what I read was going to happen..Fatty out Critta in, Burton next man up.

 

[Marki]

I hope he doesn't pick Burton as 18th man for round 16. Fuck losing a player if they're not even playing Origin. You should only be able to choose from teams that have the bye for the 18th man..

That's not a bad suggestion

 

[B-Train]

That's not a bad suggestion

The clubs get screwed over by Origin enough as it is. To use an 18th man from a team playing a split round game is absurd and totally unfair on whichever club they do it to.

QLD going to rip them a new one
