Would like to Fittler as the orgin coach, once he gets the sack from the Roosters. Like Mal he doesn't have the consistency to be a club coach. But he has shown at times he can create some real passion and push the boys. Either him or go back to Wayne Pearce. Need an orgin legend, not a top flight club coach. What Glen Lazarus doing these days?

Lazo coaches in the Queensland Cup right now I think.
Hmm it makes you wonder why him or Blocker have never been call up to coach our soft forward pack. Merry coaching at St George also, could put rocket up our outside backs as well. I guess we have Andrew Johns who done nothing with the million halves we have brought through. Yet I'm sure if they ever have one half decent game, he will be seen as coaching god.

Still dont get how the likes of Mullen, Campese, Wallace can be seen as good enough for orgin yet Soward isn't. There all as pop gun as each other and never put together on good complete season or even a couple months of football. Amazing what a couple inches can do to a player ability.

Lol at Josh Perry starting prop and Brett White on the bench.

I've got to say though that I think the other 15 names mentioned are pretty good.

Thinking about it a little more I wouldn't have picked Jamie Lyon. Think Josh Morris with Michael Jennings as centres would be dynamite.

Think Perry has been way down this year and same with White, think Douglas, Houston and Hodgson must have been close.

Very pleased for Trent Waterhouse, he's fantastic, improved so much since he last played rep football, I think he should probably start at 13 with Watmough in the second row though.

Grats to House. Well deserved, he's been a big part of our success this year.

Don't know about Barrett. He wont have played any footy before the Origin game, and I would have liked to see Mullen get a run. He's been gun this year, and improved out of sight since his last Origin call up.

And yeah as others have said, Perry, White, lol, etc.

EDIT: Also http://www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews/myles-suspended-by-roosters/2009/07/06/1246732280690.html

A short time later he was found to have defecated elsewhere in the hotel corridor and was later discovered in a fire escape.
Sounds absolutely hilarious tbh.

Shows the depth we got in the front row, either you pick a rookie or average front rower. Barely anyone close to orgin standard. Oh well if Hannatt, Myles and Civ are all out that will even things up a bit.

What a sea of backline riches.

Tate, Prince, Hunt, Folau, Bowen

It's a bottomless goldmine FFS.
