Thing is Lyon doesn't want a bar of any rep sport. I reckon Inglis would have gotten over having to play for NSW if it was forced upon him. People play against their childhood teams all the time without dropping their performance.What I find funny is that so many NSW supporters are whinging and saying that Jamie Lyon shouldnt be playing because he doesnt want to play Origin and his heart wouldn't be in it. But then they want Inglis who not only doesnt wan't to play for the Blues but was/is desperate to play for the opposition. I dont get it.
I think you underestimate the passion that QLD players have. I think Inglis would rather not play Origin at all than play for NSW.Thing is Lyon doesn't want a bar of any rep sport.

Besides we would have wasted Inglis at 5/8 anyway.
Rogers always came across to me as a passionate QLDer. Apparently his mum was a QLDer. At least in his case he played his first senior football in QLD. However, given his father was a NSW great you would think he'd have supported NSw growing up.Never mind Greg Inglis, I always thought Mat Rogers playing for Queensland was a tad dodgy. Mind you he went to a rich ***** school on the Gold Coast - TSS (The Southport School, could not sound any more gay if it tried) so it probably changed things somewhere.

No-one here's ever said that Lyon shouldn't play.What I find funny is that so many NSW supporters are whinging and saying that Jamie Lyon shouldnt be playing because he doesnt want to play Origin and his heart wouldn't be in it.

I know.Seriously morgie, let it go already.
They were always favorites by a country mile.Gallen being out is a big blow. Feel as though QLD are rightly favourites with PG gone.
LOL Tigers have been playing great footy, got done by 2 points by the dogs and Broncos, and 1 by soufs, Do you seriously watch rugby league???Can't see the Raiders winning many matches without Campese.
Watch this space for them to play better without Campese like they did without Carney. Also Tigers will give those three a run. They are dire as **** every 2nd week.
