Phil Gould now saying that Billy Slater will retire from rep footy before the end of the 2018 Origin series. Slater will apparently see that Kalyn Ponga’s form is too irresistible and that Ponga has now gone past him.

What a disrespectful, sh*tty thing to say... This fat toad is just too bitter to be in the media.

Bitter because he was never that good.

Gus is the one who needs to retire and let someone else take his spot

he's a slothful, fat ignorant lima lima lima duck c&nt...

The media hype around Ponga is unbelievable right now.

The most capped Maroon and Kangaroo.

Captained 2 World Cup wins.

Won 11 Origin series and captained 6 of them.

If you're gonna go out, make sure you go out on top.

Ponga is going to be an absolute super star but he couldn't carry Billy's jockstrap in a suitcase right now.

So you only watch origin for one player? It's still the pinnacle of Rugby League, and we get one game every 3 years at best here in Melbourne to enjoy live! Get there and cheer on the Maroons! (hopefully!) - we'll still have a number of boys playing to enjoy, likely Munster, Slater, Fox, Glasby (might keep his spot), possibly Kafusi, Curtis Scott being touted potential, Dale would be close..

No I hadn't brought tickets cause I didn't have the money and was saving up for the tickets doesn't mean I don't want to...now they put out cheap tickets I might try snap one up today but I'm not going out of my way to get it quickly

They will hand out SOO tickets for free or below cost price come game time...

like they always do in Melbourne

Amen to that.

Sport has become less about the game and more about the media sensationalisation of the surrounding soap opera.

Gould is feeding his constituency which is New South Wales people

He doesn't care about Melbourne or Queensland.

But the fact he is on Channel 9 and about 10 different podcasts makes people listen to his redneck comments.

The media agenda drives the NRL's very short term direction. Always has. Always will.

You give complete sh*tstains like Gould and Rothfield a platform, you can expect bias and idiotic dribble to come out. The average NRL fan is too stupid to search out information and take an objective view, they will just eat up whatever fits their preconceived narrative.

Premier hints at bronze statue of Cameron Smith outside Suncorp

MAY 17, 2018

ANNASTACIA Palaszczuk has hinted she is open to immortalising Queensland great Cameron Smith with a bronze statue outside Suncorp Stadium in light of his representative retirement. But he’s not the only one she has in mind. VOTE IN OUR POLL.

Speaking in State Parliament on Tuesday morning, Ms Palaszczuk said she was keen to hear from Queenslanders regarding the issue, following Smith’s announcement yesterday.

“Perhaps it’s time we saw some more bronze statues outside of Suncorp Stadium,” she said.

“I want to hear from the fans, should it be Cameron, JT or Alfie? Perhaps it should be all three.

“Tell us what you think and we’ll get the ball rolling.”

Ms Palaszczuk said Smith’s retirement was a “blow” for Queensland but she was confident there would be another player to fill the void.

“If Origin has taught us one thing, it’s when all looks lost, there’s always another Queenslander to take the ball through the gap and up to the try line,” she said.

Daniel Andrews should beat them to the punch here and get it sorted outside AAMI Park.

Some will say wait until he is retired... To that I say "who cares". Do you honestly think in the reflection of his retirement that Cameron Smith will still not be regarded as one of, if not the very player to ever pull on a boot? If anything, his legend will just continue to grow.

Yes; if he is immortalised at Suncorp before Aami it will be an indictment on our whole state

get it done; Storm hierarchy...
