If we don't beat them this week, I hope we belt them, grubby s.

What a game, Go the Tigers.

Chuffed for Ellis, he is some player!

The first round has been absolutely superb to say it is only the first round, the quality has been excellent, and I hate to say this as an Englishman, the game over here is just leagues ahead of the Superleague I'm afraid!

Lote will go close though I think he is an outside chance at best. Our depth out wide is loaded. Queensland selectors are a loyal bunch too and they will reward the players who have done the job for them over the past four series, so unless there is injury, suspension or a dramatic loss of form, the 30 year old Lote may have to bide his time.

Justin Hodges won't be picked, he just won't have the games under his belt and we will have plenty of players in form to pick from. Here is the selection headache that will be presented to us (bold is certainties barring injury/suspension):

1. Billy Slater
2.
3. Greg Inglis
4. Israel Folau
5.

We have these guys that have to fit in to two positions - with Israel Folau it's just a matter of whether it's wing or centre. I have a feeling he will be partnering Greg Inglis so for argument's sake I will slot him there for now (but if round one form is to go by, I won't discount the credentials of Willie Tonga who was sensational in a beaten side) The contenders for the two wing positions: Brent Tate, Lote Tuqiri, Darius Boyd and Willie Tonga. Hodges will come back too mid season too.

Good luck to our selectors, it's a nice problem to have.

what ever happened to wingers playing on the wing in rep games?

Asking the wrong person. It's Origin, normality is thrown out. It's been happening since I can remember. Michael O'Connor, Andrew Ettingshausen, Chris Johns, Timana Tahu, Brett Mullins ... the list goes on. Happens more so with NSW than QLD I'd like to add. Such is our depth currently, we are able to shuffle players. All players listed above for QLD have played on the wing. Not necessarily at club level on a consistent basis, but at times have been on the wing for QLD.

It is what it is.

As much as I love to just get a rise out of you and your countrymen on here. You're spot on Dally.

How many games were great viewing this weekend!!!

Maybe that's why they're not showing it here. It'll show up Superleague for the poor spectacle that it is.

Is there any method of watching highlights?

I notice that the links on nrl.com are pay per view, that's crap for highlights.

You have to look for them.

ONE try in ONE year.

Gee what a top buy Eliss was

Give that Palmolive evader the Dally M medal NOW

Gareth Ellis' job was to come over and be a try scorer?

Geezus you're a tool.

Don't you watch much rugby league?

Or are you a Stevo fan and being 8 behind means packing up and heading home?

Can't think why England RL never beat us at anything important anymore.

He did ok - especially considering his lack of prep time.

The fact he caught the ball and scored the easy try at the start helped him but he still looked lost at times.

For example, the kick on the first tackle was poorly conceived and executed and he had the ball stripped at a crucial stage just prior to halftime...

He will no doubt improve as union becomes more of a memory.

Totally Agree Gijou. He'll find his feet.

I am tempted to add this to my sig in case it never happens again...

Why on earth wouldn't it?

seriously he only got off the plane last week.

so not only does he have to get used to RL again after how many years of not playing it, he has to learn all the moves of his new team

most of the tigers breaks were down his side

seriously id pick him for origin if this continues

he was always a special player

WTF?

Who are you and what is this nonsense rambling? You have to be either 1. Off your head or 2. 12 years old.

1. Yes, I watch all games of the NRL whether it be live or via replay (Foxtel IQ2 is a beautiful thing). I chose to turn the game off at 20-4 as on a Monday night, I had other things I could have been doing as opposed to watching two teams I don't support. Adults have real life to attend too occasionally, kids perhaps? No big deal. After I got wind of the result, I watched the remaining 30 minutes I missed.

Who in the f### are you to worry about how I view rugby league? A Stevo fan?



2. What in the hell are you on about with your last throw away line?

I am Australian you tool living in NSW.

[edit I've just caught some of your other tripe littered in threads in the NRL forum, I think I missed an option 3. You're obviously "special".

"Never argue with an idiot, they will beat you with experience" - a timely reminder for all when dealing with Gijou

Indeed he was. I was spewing when Lote left us. Lote had the world at his feet in rugby league, it's a shame he won't ever have the career he could have had as a rugby league player. Records were his for the taking when he was a youngster. Keep in mind, we are talking about the guy who still holds the record for most points in a State of Origin game for Queensland (18pts, 3 tries, 3 goals in 2002). Queensland had just come off a 32-4 hammering in game one, Lote turned up and turned in a memorable performance to help level the series.

From afar, and except for any game he plays against Brisbane, I will be cheering him on from afar.

And yet you go for Wigan???!

Aussie?


Course you are champ



Do you know where the Blue Mountains are???


'Dally' didn't.



Yet another Aussie wannabee it seems.

Living in the land of Oz doesnt mean you are an Aussie as Dally and boosted Rooster or whatever his name confirms

Actually now I remember, you used the same line at LU.

"Never argue with an idiot, they will beat you with experience" ...

Outed.

Big bad Barry

I think the same rule applies to you as the other tool as Gijou, "Never argue with an idiot, they beat you with experience".

Baz, Barry, Big Bad Baz - my attention seeking friend - I am on what I perceive to be an English website with the majority of discussion focusing on the Super League. I in turn, show support for my Super League team: Wigan. Not really hard Baz. No big deal. So, you are going to what, want justification that I am an Aussie? Who the f### do you think you are? We are all living in the world of Barry by the looks
