I agree with all ratings except one Cherry-Evans. I see him as the poorest player for Qld considering the standard expected from his reputation . 3-4 would be fair and this credential creeps into his game every so often. We need another type of Cronk / Keary player in the future beside Munster.
State of Origin 3 player ratings: Queensland Maroons
L . Collins ‘ grandfather was another great Qld product Lionel Williamson, a sensational winger from Innisfail , North Qld

I’ve never been a fan of Holmes and I feel his ego is bigger than his ability and unfortunately he is inclined to make a misjudgment at a crucial point. No doubt better on the wing. He makes me nervous with the propensity to stuff up
Gus Gould urges Wayne Bennett to make massive Valentine Holmes call for Origin III
Allan, fullback ,Brenko Lee , centre and Capewell second row. Collins , Arrow , Hunt [ i don’t trust him but he was effective in the win ] Somebody else on the bench – Hess is permanently AWOL
Maroons dealt massive blow with Brimson ruled out of Origin series
Keary has had too many head knocks this past season and has been pummelled a lot , getting to be in the same boat as Cordner. Someone or some qualified body needs to make the safety decision

I feel particularly sorry for Jimmy and his career but it seems the time has come to give it away. Apart from the dreaded dog ,injuries have taken the toll and he’ll not achieve the level he has previously displayed , for many reasons. It’s a matter of what could have been and I really feel sorry for him there Unfortunately a very sad story but I’d be the first to wish him the utmost best in the future. Thanks for the special thrills James
Should the Dragons take a punt on James Roberts?
And never will !!
Here is an absolute hypocrisy when there has been so much flair about expansion with Qld in the limelight
There would never be less money come out of NSW or QLD from SOO than any other venue
This SA move is absolute BS
Origin in Adelaide. What's the long-term strategy?
Angelo Crema played in NQ there on and has subsequently been named in the NQ TEAM OF THE CENTURY along with Dan Clifford both from Tully. They both were sugar cane farmers and although were selected in many rep teams had families and farms to run . A couple of players out of that area went on to play Sydney grade football and play for Australia , Lionel Williamson and George Ambrum and including others would have been very successful in Sydney had they had the avenues to move south
Rugby league's one-Test wonders
Angelo Crema came from Tully NQ. as i did. There was no doubt about his ‘toughness’ as many an opposition player around NQ and BRISBANE will testify. Qld were never in the race against NSW at that period so the politics in league played its part. He like most players from the country worked a job ,[ cane farmer] trained 2 – 3 nights a week and played on Sunday. No comparison to the highly financed Sydney clubs but was obviously in a category good enough to be selected and from what we recall he acquited himself well against a dominate Pommie winning side then. Very different times from today
Rugby league's one-Test wonders
if The Storm win the premiership he may play SOO this year, the mind boggles
i would be appreciative if he considered that and the last game would be at Suncorp , relative to his beginnings and QLD fan base
Cameron Smith STILL isn't budging on retirement call despite post-prelim scenes
Qld Govt. Anna’s world , land of double standards, depends on which side of the bed one gets out from, not to mention these power hungry Health officials
Ricky Stuart fires up at the Queensland government before preliminary final
It bewilders me as to why selectors continue to nominate B Hunt. To me he’s a lazy little Hunt , ruck passes are lollipop floaters , 2 seconds slow and predictable. He is not toilet trained compared to Cameron Smith, kicking game so inconsistent and unreliable , but I suppose he could carry the drinks but will probably SPILL them too
Every half in the NRL and nominated dummy half away from Hunt are a better proposition. Pity help the Maroons if they select this lagger
Queensland State of Origin selection surprises (Part 1)
John, at the moment we are in limbo, waiting for the results of the normal premiership season , but in my 73 years watching pinnacles of rugby league including Qld and Nsw team finals,British and French touring teams in Australia , Australian touring teams of the U.K. and France , the St George dynasty, North Qld v Brisbane , Bulimba Cup era, none hold the excitement and passion SOO draws. To my mind there has never been a bad SOO game in that history and although the game has changed technically SOO is the best football ever played and any league fan will be waiting in anticipation for that to happen every time ,every game
NSW State of Origin selection surprises (Part 2)
We are extremely blessed to witness the amazing ability of CAMERON SMITH
Without a doubt , the best Rugby League player in the world even at 37
Melbourne Storm past Parramatta in enthralling qualifying final
BB, I’ve been an Oates fan for a long time but the continuous run of injuries and to include the demeanour of THE CLUB seems to have put paid to his career, I think he is past his due date, there is no coming back, he’ll be subjected to more injuries by continuing
Brisbane are 2020's biggest disappointment, but the Dragons are not far behind
Before he attempted a kick he appeared to be somewhat tired when he started the game, just one of those days we all have from time to time
Papenhuyzen proves he's no Cameron Smith with two hilariously bad kicks
Griffin is an astute personality a la “HOOK” . I think he’s got what the Dragons’ need. Let’s see where they finish in 2012 , at least the 8 I presume, and that will shut a few mouths . Go HOOK from a Bronco supporter
The streak that says Griffin will be a disaster for the Dragons
This expansion item drifts on and on, there’s no guts or concrete foundation for these dreams definitely no funds, anywhere
The NRL image needs to be cleaned up from top to bottom with a secure plan
It seems from a dedicated fan base that will be ongoing it might well be seriously considered to include a team or teams from Samoa and Tonga. The consolidation of those teams may well open the door for more talent into the mainland institutions rather trying to creat a combo new franchise with 4 or 5 special talent positions to keep that afloat. There is this on going illusion about Brisbane ( south east ) population in this central location but 2.5million don’t dedicate loyalities to Rugby league as may have been 40 years ago. There are other things to do these days. Expand to the dedicated not into the dying locations. We need to get real and dispense with the pipe dreams. Businesses survive on profits
For all the problems of expansion, player quality is not one of them
Alan Jones or perhaps David Gallop for CEO and The Walker Bros for the Broncos
Let Kevvie wallow in an Origin success for a few years , he deserves an accolade in the best arena of league in the world. Too much crap in the Broncos administration to give Kevvie a fair go
The Cowboys get their man
Big problem with the Murdoch power as such and maybe that’s an obstacle for an appropriate coach in that the new coach has to deal with the administration. Can’t see Bellamy tolerating that type of interference and why he would have any sympathy for Brisbane. I see him leaving league on a high not battling demons.
My take are the Walker Brothers ,new influence ,constructive ,progressive expectation of respect from the roster and obviously have the foresight to weld a team culture.
The issue will be the current administration . When White , Morris and Lockyer move on there is every chance although Lockyer may go well in PR and PR only
Let Kevvie get his origin set up ,we all love Kevvie and only want it to work for him
This way gets the close critics with emotional past attachments to quiet and shut the f*^# up
Contenders to replace Seibold as coach of the Brisbane Broncos
Seibold is not a development coach. He may have a talent to encourage an organised roster . Morris and White are delusional in foresight or is it money and ego. The roster needs to be tidied up and a platform for 2021 and beyond set by the end of this season. One big problem is a powerful, outstanding team leader in the Wally Lewis, Mal Meninga Cameron Smith mould not a conference of young heads trying to find a solution. The Broncos probably won’t be achievers for a few years even with a tidy roster that would not include about 33% of the current group and most of the administration. Lockyer needs to look into another sphere as it appears he is losing his flamboyance with the fans , public and supporters regardless of the brilliant playing abilities in times past. Unfortunately, where do these type of leaders come from ?
Dear Brisbane Broncos, the coach isn't the problem
30 points start to the Broncos
NRL Round 13 teams: Mass changes for Tigers, Fifita back for Broncos
As a Qlder, NSW could just forfeit , that would be the end of SOO and then the masses from Sydney could concentrate on one of their teams winning the premiership
These four players will fix the Blues
