Saw an interesting stat on facebook

"Darren Lockyer won 5 out of his first 15 Origin matches.

Mitchell Pearce has won 4 out of his first 15 Origin matches"

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
I'm surprised that Pearce has only played 15 Origin games. I would have guessed 20+.

Does NSW just choose which position a player will play in based on how the chicken entrails hit the wall?

They have to play at least one game in this situation, might as well burn the loss on a trip to nz. Makes sense.

Hard to read much into that game seeing as we were up against a lot of reserve graders, but it's good that we actually closed out a win.

This origin build up is a bit boring. No sledging or any of the usual bullshit. I'd blame Mal but we all know he's a Qld legend, so I reckon it's all the fault of confessed drug cheat Paul Gallen and by extension the entire state of NSW.

Hayne's too busy getting his hair just right for his close up and Dugan is too busy getting another poo poo tattoo for them to be focussed on trash talk.

It's refreshing to me, the usual tiresome charade is just so cheesy and embarrassing.

Yeah I know. A few articles had mentioned Mal has really brought the two sides together in the Kangaroos camps. The players get along instead of being split along state lines.

well maybe if you stuck to the same lineup for more than 23 minutes you could do that, like the smart Queenslanders who have kept their core together over the seasons with a combination of HGH, salary cap breaches (proven and unproven) and of course anti-aging cream.
