There is no mystery. It's like the ashes during the 90s. A group of the greatest cricketers ever happened to be born in Australia around the same time. Smith, lockyer and Thurston are three of the greatest players ever and they've been surrounded by elite talent. Nsw could have maybe done better but we just haven't had the players.

At least in the case of the Broncos, they're a marquee team with a lot of funds that will always bring in a lot of the young talent. They also have the facilities to make sure a lot of this talent develops into state beaters later on. The Storm will not be able to sustain that without money being constantly thrown at them but god forbid a second Brisbane team pops up. Imagine the state of NSW football without them getting gun young Canberra players before their descent into alcoholism/drugs/signing with the Roosters? Castlemaine 10X

Leaning toward the first couple. If other people could donate it would make my current depression a lot lighter, but my depression in about 9 days a lot giving worse. Please help out these poor cancer sufferers.

So Zak Hardaker, after deciding to abandon Leeds halfway through the season just because we're struggling (despite the club sticking by him through his disciplinary problems) has gone to Penrith in a swap deal. James Segeyaro is coming our way, how good is he? Obviously Hardaker will fail because he's an english back so I look forward to welcoming him back to Leeds this time next year.

Also like you say English backs never do well in Aus...

Segeyaro's a decent hooker when fit and interested but has spent the last few years hanging out on the sidelines injured, dining with bikie gangs and arguing with his coaches. If you can turn him around though you'll be doing well out of the deal.

He's really fast out of the ruck and killed it in 2014 but he's been either injured or out of form since and is probably not someone to be really excited about.

Thanks for the scouting reports on Segeyaro, Hardaker clearly didn't want to be here anymore so if we can slap this guy into shape it sounds like a positive for all involved.

Jennings brought a little bit of parramagic to the game, what a worthless shitcunt. the NSW Selectors are going the league community a disservice. G.bird,Gal,Farah, walker, the Morris boys, Jennings and Turd Furgo can gently caress right off. and they picked the wrong Reynolds.

I never understood the appeal of the Morris brothers. Not at Origin level. Yeah they are good at NRl level and like almost anyone with two functioning legs and/or brain cells can score for Australia on the international scene but I just can't remember them doing anything of note for NSW. I sometimes wonder if the selectors just sit there saying "well they've got their cam-thurston-cronk-slater spine, it's time we build around a solid core too. Here's my list: 1. BRETT MORRIS 2. THE OTHER MORRIS JOHN? JOE? YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN Right, now throw some halves in their, any really, and we're fuckin golden." Maybe I'm just being biased but I really can't think of them being, you know, noteworthy.

I'm a huge fan of the Morris boys. Josh has generally done a pretty good job against GI, and Brett is one of those guys that does everything expected of a winger. It's the shitshow on the other wing for the past five or so years that deserves more scrutiny.

iajanus posted:I'm just depressed at this time of year (hilariously when Queensland win as usual) as I wonder how good they would have been without Melbourne. They're excellent players, but it's so frustrating to have to wonder what could have been. It's like their sins have hosed over a decade of origin with no end in sight. Ok i'll bite, how would Cronk, Smith and Slater not playing at Melbourne be detrimental to Queensland? Its not like they wouldn't be playing at other clubs and be probably just as good as players. Do you think that if Melbourne folding in 2008 would somehow not lead to NSW ranging from terrible to somewhat competitive during this period?

If the Storm is kicked out in 2008, there is no way that Cronk, Smith and Slater end up at the same club. We would have had a garbage expansion club and the Storm superstars in different places. A big part of Queensland's success is due to players getting familiar with each other at club level at the Storm, Broncos and Cowboys.

It's a large factor which people seem to forget on the QD side, then lambast the Blues for: Having a non-changing core of players who know one another. It was why the Roosters halves were totally going to succeed together. HOWEVER even if Billy Slater played for a trash and garbage team like the tigers or broncos he'd still be the greatest NRL, QD and Australian full back of all time so QD would still win every series he wasn't injured for. you're welcome

This is nonsense though, because Queensland won 6 of their dominant 8 game streak with Lockyer/Smith/JT spine, who all played for different clubs. Karmichael Hunt and Matty Bowen also played a shitload of games at fullback in that time as well. NSW has generally drawn their players heavily from clubs like the Dogs and the Roosters and they've been complete garbage even though they're playing together and (in the case of the Roosters) are probably abusing the salary cap in that time as well.

The only series NSW "won" was when their captain was juiced to the eyeballs and copped an ASADA ban later the same year. A little contract misunderstanding pales in comparison to deliberate cheating by using performance enhancing drugs.

If someone like Corey Parker or Cam Smith had been doping during one of our series wins the NSW media would have squealed and screamed and sooked until the result was overturned or nullified. But because it was Captain Courageous putting in an heroic 80 minute effort to beat the best team ever then the fact he admitted to being a drug cheat that same year is suddenly irrelevant and anyone who brings it up is labelled a troll or poor loser.
