the backup centre for the Sharks who gave Gagai a bath on Saturday would be a good pick up

RTS, Manu, CHT - I wonder who else is coming back?

Sione Faumuina looked to be in good shape in that League Legends programme….

They all want back in! Perhaps we can do requests? Still need a centre, perhaps Timoko from Canberra? lol

Was he a former Warrior?

[SBW1]

@Nepia My thoughts exactly. Manu will have a mentoring role and will probably be behind the scenes working with youngsters in a mentoring role. Would like to see CHT and RTS back early and play this year. Always got CHT confused with CNK.

Former Aucklander , but I dont think junior, I was extending the reach for requests for what we need, rather than digging for past players lol

I bet they want this guy back. He is on $600,000 per season, not sure how many years he is with the Tigers, he did sound like he wanted to go to the Warriors before honouring his deal with the Tigers.

Metcalf in for his debut, but Egan and Walker out. Reynolds back for Broncos which is huge as well. Given more than half of the Broncos’ squad will play their first NRL game in New Zealand I can only hope those Hawkes Bay Supporters remind them that Napier is not Brisbane

Hello’s boy making his debut for the Broncos too.

We are a real chance to knock over these punks. Hope Metcalf and SJ can get it together quickly because on paper they look like a combo that could really complement each other.

[mariner4life]

loving the frothy NSW journos thrash-wanking over Qld apparently abandoning their "pick and stick" policy

Of course, the evidence is that they dropped
checks notes
Dane Gagai, who everyone remembers having huge Origin games, but people forget how long ago the majority of them were, and how average he has been in that arena
and
Kalyn Ponga, who has a mush brain and probably shouldn't even be playing NRL let alone Origin.

[bayimports]

@mariner4life I do think Gagai has had a great year for Newcastle minus his last start which supposedly he got dropped for, if going on last start even Holmes deserves not to be there.

Luai said yesterday that if Qld felt he was a dirty player, then come and get him.. ha ha surely that's all that was needed to light the origin fuse..the guy is dead meat walking

[ARHS]

Look forward to seeing Hudson Young in origin

[mariner4life]

@bayimports Jerome conveniently overlooking getting trucked repeatedly by cobbo a week ago

Fuck up flog.

[Nepia]

Pompey you dickhead.

Also, anyone know what then out of towners who were down for the game were doing to cause the stoppages?

[canefan]

Bloody Warriors. Can't complain about the reffing, our kick game was poor, and we lost a winnable game by making basic errors that gifted the Broncos scoring chances

[mariner4life]

Fuck i hate McLean Park

On another day the Warriors win that easily. To have that many tries (rightfully) not given is pretty rare. And we just didn't create scorebaord pressure to go with the good play. And the Broncos made us pay.

That hurt.
