"You can't carry your divots". What a great quote.

[@Rip_in_son]

Gal actually dropped a banger

[@paulywalnutz5855]

there is nobody else. hes the best player in comp right now, first man picked imo

[@Rip_in_son]

As a qlder I agree playing with real purpose atm he’s been a super star.

[@JustNate365]

Luai will be the perfect foil for him, the confidence and swagger he brings.

[@problemsintheworldandhowtheyca]

I don't think Luai will play origin.

[@StuartRyan-yi5ok]

Luai should be 5/8 for Blues. And Tom Dearden should be 5/8 for Maroons.

[@glakshmiratan]

Luai is bang average with Nathan or Penrith wingers running alongside

[@JustNate365]

@@glakshmiratan hmmm

[@taiyonatiare7918]

I honestly thought Brooks would give Luai a run for that blues jersey but he hasn’t been playing well the last few weeks. Luai and Nicho would be an interesting combination and might be just what NSW need

[@datdippa3006]

[@brianhumphries9533]

Nicho is the clear no1 option at 7. Luai at 6.

[@troystaunton254]

I had brooks at 6 but the last 2 weeks have really left me disappointed in his performances. I’m not a manly fan either. Or a tigers fan. But Luai is the obvious choice. Burton in 2nd place.

[@jarimaatta1814]

Really 😂 after origin 1 effort

[@jarimaatta1814]

As a Qlder I actually hope they pick nicho , easy target for Qld …I think he is a soft player, not a bad player BUT … Origin is next level TOUGH, FAST , let’s see how we go

[@EyeSaidNo]

You can throw everything and the kitchen sink at Nicho and he'll get straight back up. That's tough

[@taiyonatiare7918]

[@jaromeasdale7157]

sharks play the most uptempo game in the comp, fast wont bother him

[@jarimaatta1814]

Well this aged well 😁 even the blues crowd thinks Nicho should be left out of the next game after origin 1 , he definitely slowed the game down for the blues

[@Dude-etiquette]

I can’t believe “expert” commentators are talking about Mitchell Moses who is still injured all the whole Hynes is having a brilliant season, and is leading his team at the top of the table. The disrespect these commentators have for Hynes. Fittler is the worst

[@Palmwhat]

The way he handled it last time sooking doing no interviews no very professional leaves a stain on people

[@Dude-etiquette]

@@Palmwhat Fittler didn't given him a chance, played in the centres, Fittler was setting up to fail

[@Palmwhat]

@@Dude-etiquette like clock work i knew exactly what you was going to say it does not matter of you got "set up" you handle it better and he handled it shocking like a little kid throwing the toys out

[@Dude-etiquette]

@@Palmwhat Well Fittler no longer there speaks volumes about his coaching

[@taiyonatiare7918]

Tbf hynes played a part in it. While Fittlers choice was definitely not a good one you’ve got to deal with the loss as a team. Not run off having a sook - showed he clearly couldn’t handle the pressure. Hopefully he’ll be better this year

[@paulywalnutz5855]

if u dont like luai coz of the music hes into u just need have a look at yaself in the mirror and give yourself a slap. fair dinkum

Why TF do they waste an origin game at the MCG, they'll get less than a Crows West Coast finals crowd...about 80,000 through the door.

[@harveyking5038]

he just cant perform under massive pressure like origin. he doesnt have the confidence of Latrell mitchell

[@marvinparker2711]

He’s the best player in the comp

[@johnsonwithat2322]

People keep harping on about Hynes missed tackle. Bro.. it was Munster.

[@KarlHerden-ul3oz]

Nicko for halfback

[@martingoodef811]

It is also about personality! Don’t worry about the sitting in the crowd.. players have to have the respect also of those around them, here lies the problem with Jerome. But he is the best choice on whose playing well at the moment

[@spartanworrior4519]

Have people forgotten how poor Luai has been at an origin level?

[@taiyonatiare7918]

So who do you suggest?

[@spartanworrior4519]

@@taiyonatiare7918 tbh I’m not sure, there have been a lot of injuries for the blues halves recently. However, my statement was more in regard to Gus and Gal heaping praise on to Luai. Do they not remember how poor he’s looked in origin so far? But tbh, if Moses gets minutes under him and looks comfortable, my halves pairing would be Moses and Hynes. If not, I do understand Luai coming into the team more. However, I’m sure there’d still be better options. E.g. see if you can cut a deal with Wigan to bring Bevan French over for origin

[@frankmotton7167]

Nico 6 & Cleary 7 for NSW

[@MonkehSee]

Hynes and Luai will win us the series. Book it.

Burton ? Burton ain’t even a 5/8 he’s got a big kick and that’s it.

Idk he’s only just started playing well this season and even then his kicking is hit or miss

[@chiddiru6114]

Luai isnt liked by a lot of people because of his antics on the field, nothing to do with the "quality" of his footballing ability, you are blind if you don't think hes good. But standing over a knocked out player proudly isnt going to win a lot of people over, running in to push and shoves and grabbing jerseys every game etc... like honestly no one wants to see that rubbish

Tons of players do it 💀 if fans want a goodie to shoes that never does anything wrong go follow nicho bc Luai is never gonna be that

@@taiyonatiare7918 thats fine if you want to support players that do this, just stating people dont dislike him for "music choices" nor do they discredit him being good, its the grubbiness and actions done on the field.

I reckon latrell won’t be there. He’s missed to much footy, he’s not performed and regardless of whether he deserves it or not he’s become a distraction off the field because everything he does is either the worst or the best depending on the narrative.
