Considering Morris made two try saving tackles this is a pretty funny comment.

Your probably a dragons supporter :d

Still doesn't bring enough.

Roar Bris its origin get over it - jennings should have just been put on report if at all, ref should have got both captains in as you would and warn that next player cause's anything then he's in the Bin.
Pearce was accounting for himself very well I thought v's Thugday :lol:

well thats about all he was capable of PB but he was far more dangerous when he tried to get some understandable words out of his mouth during after match interviews :lol:
Oh the days of the real battles and characters of Origin I miss it so :cry:

sydcro well you'll be happy finally having a decent coach thankfully we drew first blood vsing our old boss - goes to show a change is as good as a holiday still cant get over Dessie having no hair :lol:

Uate was a real prob wide defensively so true Morris was under the pump more so especially covering but I don't recall any go forward from him.
I also was impressed Pearce and Farrah stepped up to the plate they'll be better next game - and this is where Carney should feel better having the 1st game done I expect he to be more confident Game2 then we have more spur of the moment creativity I hope.
Wouldn't mind seeing Watmough called back in though.
We are closer - less mistakes the run has to come to an end sooner or later but this has to be done over 2games not just 1 o:) !

So T-Rex is set to be out for Games 2 and 3, which almost guarentees a recall for Watmough, which I am happy about, just wish he was replacing Ben Creagh and not Williams.

Tony Williams also set to sign for the Bulldogs apparently to be announced over the weekend :d

Surely they will get rid of buhrer.

Foxsports posted an article earlier. It happens to both sides. I don't like the idea that someone has to make a choice and has to be wooed by either side. You should know in your heart where you are from.

How do the rules actually work at the moment? What happens of for some reason your first ever game happens to be playing for a NSW club playing a match in Queensland

It's whoever you play your first game of senior footy for, and you have to be eligible for Australia.

As for Tamou, yeah sure it may not seem right him playing Origin, but at least he's actually eligible

Qld govt commits to new stadium in Rockhampton if CQ wins NRL expansion bid

Written by: Tony Harper

Central Queensland’s bid to join the National Rugby League has received a boost with the state government confirming it will build a compliant stadium.

CQ bid chief executive Denis Keeffe said he and bid chairman Geoff Murphy met new Queensland Minister for Sport Steve Dickson last week.

Keeffe said Tuesday: “Minister Dickson delivered this great news to us personally: ‘If the CQ NRL Bid acquires a NRL License, the Government will provide the compliant stadium, and you can guarantee this to the NRL – it will happen – it is written in stone, Minister Dickson said last week.”

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman had promised, while in opposition, to support a taxpayer-funded stadium in Rockhampton should the bid be successful in gaining a place in the NRL.

The Australian Rugby league Commission has not confirmed a schedule for expansion but the hopeful cities expect two teams to be added within the next three seasons.

Keeffe meanwhile said the government would be providing a stadium but the team would need to rent it.

“I want to stress the difference to “provision” as opposed to “gifting” because a small minority of the Central Queensland public think that the Government is gifting this stadium to the future CQ NRL club,”said Keeffe. “This is absolutely wrong and anyone who propagates this misinformation is ill-informed. The CQ NRL Club will become the anchor or primary tenant and will pay significant rental costs to hire the stadium for NRL fixture games. That will account for 12 to 15 NRL games per year.

“It would be expected that another 12 to 20 major events would use this stadium annually in its primary configuration.”

He said other major sporting organisations including the QRL, QRU, ARU and FFA are “very interested in the developments here in CQ relative to a new and international standard facility.”

A fantastic win, up the Broncos.

Thanks for ruining the result. I knew I should have stayed out of the thread.

Seriously Ben Barba is a fucking freak. He;s got to the point where him beating 5 defenders, running the length of the field to score or set up a try is just the norm. Watching him on TV is one thing, but watching him live is something else, just amazing.
