@LeagueScenePod @badel_cmail Really do not want Nikora. If we choose him over finefeuaki, luki, capwell even fermor we would be insane.

BREAKING: Maroons selectors are considering handing Briton Nikora his Origin debut. Selectors will continue to meet over the weekend to discuss the potential call which would be a minor shock given his form has been up and down in 2026. 📝 @badel_cmail

@SulloReport Francis? I thought he went somewhere else., very confused sorry

Genuinely happy to see this. Keeping Semu and Francis long term has to be a priority

@SuperCoachNRL Was going to go from latrell to herbie but decided to wait till next round. Just my luck 🫠

Herbie goes huge to kick off Magic Round 🤝

@antonposa Did you originally have staggs and Mitchell centres and then McLean wing? If so I definetly reckon best should get a run, he has proved himself in the origin arena before.

@Jonathon6171 I've got Maclean on the wing.

If Trell is out for origin, that will suck. Guess Bradman Best gets a crack?

@fonzieswarriors My thoughts are that he has seen the starting 13 from the dragons next year and seen it has major potential. I mean a spine of 1. Drinky, 6. Atkinson, 7. Metcalf, 9. Liddle. Plus they will have an amazing forward pack.

I’m a bit confused by this move - apparently he didn’t want to work his way back up through Cup, but then he goes to a team that would lose to our Cup side?

@VelloFergotd @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Just admit pete fans over clix 🤣

@Jonathon6171 @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Get off clixs meat then 💀 he’s not even tier 1

This is actually so weird

@VelloFergotd @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Ragebait where? Get off petes meat for once give him a break

@Jonathon6171 @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack You sure ? 💀 0/10 Ragebait

@FOXNRL Yeah, no.

Just a few days until Game 1 squads will be revealed and Paul Crawley has given his verdict for both QLD and NSW 🧐 Thoughts on Crawls' predicted Maroons' squad? READ MORE 👉 bit.ly/4ut9NAV

@jesuxxfn @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Peterbot been a d1 clix fan for years 🤣

@Jonathon6171 @Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Nah, it all started when Clix said that Higgs is Peterbot, that's why Peterbot started. But Clix started as a little fanboy.

@Roaringlionnnn @userisstack Peterbot is 10x more obsessed with clix btw

@userisstack Clix and Higgs’ obsession with the GOAT has to be studied..!

@Jaiggg_ Chester imo, hes in good form

Murray not back this week. Hammer / Purdue left edge seems too small. Honestly think we need the big body of Cobbo even though his fitness seems crap. What’s everyone thinking? Holmes? Cobbo? Hammer wing someone else centre? Purdue? (Shiba or Howarth?🤢)

@Jaiggg_ Yep spot on. Out of all the teams I have been seeing this one is my favourite, just seeing noth Clifford and fifita there is so nice.

@Jonathon6171 Wouldn’t mind them! Only thing that bothers me is Capewell is so solid defensively. Luki on the left is more unknown and isn’t exactly known for his defensive decisions

Late thoughts 1. KP / Walsh 2. Taulagi ** 3. Toia 4. Hammer 5. Jojo Fifita 6. Munster 7. Clifford 8. Tino 9. Grant 10. Cotter 11. Kulikefu 12. Capewell 13. Carrigan 14. Plath / Brimson 15. Collins 16. Mikaele / Bai 17. Flegler 18. Walsh / KP 19. Sam Walker

@BriandeGroot7 @LeagueScenePod Yeah im a broncos supporter as well, I dont want him picked either as i would opt for Clifford or fogarty. Im just saying he would step up as we have seen previously, people like him are built for origin

@Jonathon6171 @LeagueScenePod Mate, I'm a Broncos fan and hes a problem that needs solving this year

QLD face a major shake-up with up to six incumbents potentially missing. Jeremiah Nanai + Tom Dearden (injury) and Josh Papali'i will definitely not be there while Gehamat Shibasaki, Val Holmes, Trent Loiero and Kurt Mann are facing the axe due to poor form while Xavier Coates and Murray Taulagi race to be fit. The likes of Heilum Luki, Cooper Bai, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, Jojo Fifita, Max Plath, Briton Nikora, Jaxon Purdue, Sam Walker and Ezra Mam all discussed for possible Maroons debuts this season. 📰 @badel_cmail

@JesseTalksport @brendansfoley @LeagueScenePod Still a bloody good player to have coming off the bench, I reckon he would strive in the origin arena

@Jonathon6171 @brendansfoley @LeagueScenePod Sure he’s got potential but it’s not like he’s even been a standout titans player

@BriandeGroot7 @LeagueScenePod One of the best big game players as seen in gf both 23 and 25.

@LeagueScenePod If theres talk about form, the Mam shouldn't be in the discussion. Hes shown nothing in defence all season. His attack is patchy and and in decline this season

@brendansfoley @LeagueScenePod So we are going to ignore the fact that he is one of the rising talents currently just because he is playing in a bad titans team?

@LeagueScenePod Cooper Bai? The titans player with 2 wins is a chance for QLD. Not sure that one’s happening

@BigdogGC77 @centralNRL This might be a hot take, I want Clifford and fogarty as my halves if Munster doesnt pick up form.

@Jonathon6171 @centralNRL That’s a good call if he is fit

If Tom Dearden can’t play Origin who is the 7 for Queensland?

@centralNRL Got to admit as a broncos fan I really want pezet starting to develop his game more, but as someone who likes the eels i would be keeping volkman as pezet leaves end of year.

Will be hard for Jonah Pezet to get his Eels’ No.6 jersey back when he returns from suspension. Ronald Volkman has been one of Parramatta’s best even in a struggling side. You can point to the defence but then you’d probably have to drop most the team. (Averages 1.4 more missed tackle's then Pezet including that 9 missed tackle game)
