I would be happy about Rooney now being in the team, but then I think about Gower and Waterhouse, Waterhouse in particular... The club will not be happy, especially with it being seen as the benchmark for how a club should interact with the general community... More 'fun' for rugby league.

this is quite annoying.. they dont HAVE to wait till someone gets injured to bring in Kurt Gidley, they can have other guys go as teh 18th man, bloody people!!1!.....

Well that's a bitch. Nowadays, guilty by association.

The vacated positions (centre, wing) are not the positions Gidley was selected for - he is either halfback or five-eighth. The only way Gidley would have made it was if he came into the 17 at centre, pushing De Vere to wing.

My letters are bigger than yours and they are underlined, hence they matter more

not really ...

 

[Loz#1]

Well, I'll definitely be supporting the Blues, but it won't be the same.

 

[RUB!X]

yeah, too much shit going on now ... bad for the game, i'll still watch the game, but with a bit less enthusiasm then in previous yrs ...

 

[Loz#1]

I went to the Origin a few years ago and it was great. But then I went last year, I think and it wasn't fantastic.

 

[Misturi]

l've never been to a state of origin game...

l'd love to go to the one on the 7th of july (the day before my birthday) but l'll be at study camp

Guess it'll have to wait until next year.

 

[Loz#1]

At the rate both camps are going, there won't be a game next year.

UP THE BLUES!

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

Where you guys watching the game?

 

[Loz#1]

At home, probably only watch it to cheer on the Roosters players and make sure they stay uninjured.

 

[Seabiscuit]

Someone tell the NSW origin team bosses to stop sacking players, otherwise there won't be any players left for Wednesday!!

Kurt Gidley is there just in case someone pulls up injured or sick or whatever on the day of the match since he can cover basicly every position in the backline. he's another utility player. Since mini and gasnier were sacked with like a week ago, its better if they brought in two specialist players to cover the vacant positions.
