All hail Thunderstruck - forum moderator for this week!!!!!
Didn't take you long to assert your authority teehee.

Geez some moderater you are, shouldnt Origin talk be in the "NRL Section"

Just kidding, no-one goes there anyway

Orford still isnt selected for Origin whats new.. i would have given Noddy another go.

[steaming stormer]

Kimmorley had to go. The only thing I'm surprised at is that NSW STILL didn't pick a prop on the bench. Game 2 and the series to the mighty maroons!!

[Super Cronk]

nsw team is so shit....QLD will run riot over them

[Thunderstruck]

I strongly considered putting the thread in the NRL section but seeing as Origin 1 thread was done here, the description for the forum does say "Discussion on anything to do with Melbourne Storm" and Kingy, Smithy and Billy are all part of the Storm, this forum seemed just as appropriate.

Should be a good game, I think NSW will win by 8

NSW has made a mistake again with the lack of big men.

They were lucky to almost get away with a win last time. QLD Big men will make 'em pay this time.

QLD on the way for a Cleen sweep.

i hope nsw win game two just coz then it makes game 3 soo much more exciting. i really hope QLD win the series, but game 3 is so much more exciting if its a decider... just what i think anyway.. cant see myself bein too dissapointed if QLD win tho .

[Thunderstruck]

It's time for Queensland to sweep the series. I hope Fitzy and Hindmarsh work themselves to death in the first 20 minutes, like in game 1. That should leave them tired and vulnerable for the remainder of the game. Without proper front rowers and a small bench they could get rolled.

Don't underestimate the loss of Steve Price though, a few weeks ago Carlaw couldn't even crack the Broncos first grade side and now he's in Origin

Me too, I have my tickets to Origin 3 and I'd love to see it as a decider with teams just that little bit more desperate for a win. I'm still annoyed I missed out on the fantastic game that was Origin 1 2005. I only hope Origin 3 will be as a good a game.

On the otherhand maybe it's better that NSW lose, because if they win Anasta will probably be retained for Origin 3 (if he doesn't get hurt ) and that can't be good.

I'm still trying to decide whether I should go to this game or not, the only alternative is watching Souths for the third week in a row ... because a fornight without football is not an alternative

QUEENSLANDER!

That'll do me...

Noddy didn't deserve to be dropped.

That beign said, I hope they keep Anasta for game 3, 'cos we play the Bulldogs the weekend before it.

Oh yeh LR, didnt think of that... Hope Anasta has a goodish game then... but i also hope NSW lose
