I wouldn't underestimate Madge and his selections he'll veer away from what the media, ex players, ex coaches and most pundits expect and pick a team he thinks will do a job. There's no favourites with him, he's a ruthless operator he's shown that as Kiwis coach and he'll take that attitude into the Origin arena. One of those unexpected selections will be Latrell ..even though he hasn't shown form at club level Latrell is made for Origin he thrives in that cauldron atmosphere

Papalii retired last year and they’re the same age, Ponga ruled himself out for the series last to focus on Newcastle. You know nothing.

@@npd6225 Fullback or possibly 14, does that matter? There were questions marks over where Wighton would play. He still ruled himself out, which goes against the comments that Queensland would always put QLD first, when it’s not true. If you are trying to argue that Ponga would not have been selected last year… he won the 2022 origin series, Queensland try and push this agenda about staying loyal to players.

Wighton wouldn't be there on form any way, Kotoni Staggs, Bradman Best and Stephen Crichton are well ahead of him. I like the description of Cam McInnes ''Bull Shark".. he's absolutely fearless. He wouldn't look out of place at Origin, just the type of tough and rugged player suited to that arena.

Mitch Barnett deserves a spot

2001 Wayne asks Alfie langer to comeback Alfie: what took you so long?

2023: Kalyn Ponga rules himself out for the series because he wants to focus on Newcastle. 2023: Josh Papalii retires from origin football, when he is the same age as Wighton. At least use logic when you are trying to push your argument.

He wants to concentrate on winning the premiership at souths this year.

Less Souths in the Blues, the better.

Sharks hardly upset the storm. If grant didn’t get sin binned for that joke of a call they probably would of won

I wouldn't even pick him... NSW over think it, Hynes has been the best halfback in the comp for a few years now bar maby Cleary... pick him and give him a go and stop overthinking the 5 minutes he played out of position.

He’s not good enough to believe he deserves the right to decide if he’s playing. Only maybe 10 guys earned that right in history.

Which Queenslander will turn down their team’s call when their team needs them?

He's focusing on obtaining the spoon. NSW isn't important

He knows he can't help them. QLD 3-0. Points differential 150 to 12.

As a chooks man keep Watson on first an bring Smith off the bench. Watson was electric last week

Watson is twice the player Smith is. Smith has lost his mojo big time

NSW could use him. Great news for QLD

Let's be real, Whitten knows he doesn't deserve a spot on the team and Madge is crazy for thinking he does. I think Freddy didn't deserve to be origin Coach after the last few years but I prefer Freddy over Madge any day. I wish Johns, Gallon or Gould would take up the role. Even Peter Sterling. Anyway Whitten left the Raiders, a really solid team to join South's to win a premiership, they have won 1 game and we are in round 11... The guys a team killer especially as a centre for Johnston, I think they should swap Latrell and Whitten.

This is what NSW don’t get, Queenslanders would bleed for that jersey, you have wighton and latrell dont even give a crap about the jersey😂

NSW seems to be falling apart. Injures to players. Players turning them down. That's why QLD will always be better. They have Players who will play with a broken arm if needed.

Brandon Smith has been a dud signing.. can't even play a solid 40 minutes without gassing.

There's no way latrells playing

He is not up to it anyway . he is better off with souths where he can chip and chase and forget about making tackles . His days are over . Ricky Stuart would be glad he,s gone and has some players that want to have a go

Not worth the position anyway...

Not good enough anyway from a cellar dwelling team.

Who cares about Wighton he went to Souths to win a Premiership how is that going for him he is playing like the rest Busted and useless except for Cam a work horse poor bloke.
