I'm hoping I'm still having a bad dream this morning, because I woke up to see a report that Matt Bowen has been selected to replace a forward for the 3rd origin game. So much for the clean sweep.

He's got a fair point, just look at Tim Smith. He was a prodigy in his first season, better than Walsh has been so far, could you see him in an origin jumper? Not so likely, even without all the competition for the QLD #7.

I agree with Smith about Lewis. I think he is better than Pearce, actually - very different players though so it's hard to compare.
Walsh is a good player - has a lot more to his game than Tim Smith ever has IMO. Origin calls are indeed premature at best though. He could get there, but he'll need to improve a lot.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Anasta at lock and Lewis-Pearce in the halves, to be honest. It annoys me seeing so much halves talent from us at other clubs, though Pearce will be a star.

Yeah, me too. I think it would have happened if Lewis didn't get injured as well - Anasta's good form at five-eighth and Lewis's poor showings in PL when he returned from his injury made it hard for Anderson to make that change. I would have done it anyway, mind.

Reckon that's why they don't pick him for Origin, tbh.

Solid Roosters performance tonight, eh.

Can't believe I picked the Chooks.

They were in with a shot if Pearce stayed on the field IMO. But with Pearce gone we've got a Winger and a Back-Rower in the halves, and now the rest of our halves are at other clubs.

Can't believe Sherwin didn't get a gig for the 3rd origin. He's such a gun player.

He's been shocking for the last two seasons, tonight was his best game since the Dogs premiership year.

Sherwin starting to hit some form now, wish he did it before State of Orgin. Such a gun player when on song.

He's been effected by injury for a season or two hasn't he?
Now that Head's in England (and was injury prone) I reckon he's the best halfback in NSW.

He just wants to play any football, i don't think he cares anymore about the standard.
