Origin is a nothing burger but a cesspool for injuries - I only watch that PR machine for the biff these days and don't care who wins.
The dogs army should start a riot so the NRL can ban the dogs from Origin for years to come.

TBH there’s some Dogs players in form. I don’t expect them to be picked though

Josh Curran killing it. He could be a Carrigan like player for the Blues

If Harry Grant or Ben Hunt get injured or suspended then Mahoney might get called up.
Mahoney wasn't in the early season Qld training squad. Neither was Walters but he probably ahead of Reed for Qld at the moment.

If Slater has Munster, DCE, and Walsh in the spine he will probably go to one of the other halves or fullbacks he has in his squad; Ponga, Brimson, Mam, Dearden, if one of Grant or Hunt is not available.

I think

Critta is a lock at centre,

Burto in consideration as the Blues have so few genuine Half options that play left side

Kiraz would be on a short list for right hand Wing Options

IMO, McGuire will go for big winger's ruling out To'o & Fox.

Curran could be a genuine smokey.

I reckon McGuire is looking to pick Mongrel types across the entire team.

Imo if everyone stays fit Burton may be the only one picked from the dogs, Crichton and jac are the only others in contention but I'd have To'o, lomax, best and turbo ahead at this stage.

Mate, I reckon To’o is one of the first picked, as long as he has a Crichton or the like next to him, he’s a must - just eats metres.

Origin? Lol let’s take it easy aye. We are still a ways off being a gun team. I hope none or maybe a couple at most tbh. We need all hands on deck. I can see JAC and Critta being good chances, but doubt anyone else will be in contention. Curran would be good but I doubt he’s on the radar. Luckily Kikau isn’t eligible, as he’d be a definite starter.

Well we play the knights in round 13 and roosters round 16. We can't beat both without origin players imo. We just need Ponga out and Teddy selected for NSW so Manu isnt FB

I think the only lock is probably Critta. I think if JAC has a good game against the tigers he might win back his spot. Burton might be a smokey for the 14 spot and Kiraz could be in the mix? Any others? So maybe 1-4. Luckily we should have the depth to cover them
This year.
Crichton is a lock and watch for Mitchell to spit the dummy
Fox should be a lock but there's so much media hype over Lomax
Burton is a real show especially with Moses injured and Walker finished
Curran is an absolute smokey
