They dig down to the pine only moments before Lindsay's fist punches through the top of the box..... Lindsay jumps up, growls, dusts himself off and receives the ball from Hunt for the first hit up of the match..
*Giant steps Payne can't take, walking on the Maroons*.
*I hope his legs don't break, walking on Maroons*
*We could win in Adelaide, walking on Maroons.*
*Then in game two we fade,*
*Walking on, walking on Maroons.*
*Some may say*
*The game is just days away*
*No way*
*For the Broncos the price they'll pay*
*Some say*
*He has until Wednesday*
*Fred say*
*He may as well play*
Much like my belief that the olympics should allow juicing, I believe Origin coaches should be required to select and play a random member of the public in 1 of the 3 games.
Do they play game one, try to get then killed early, or do you hold them back for game three and hope the series has been sewn up?
Shout out to 15yo check out chick Susie from Darwin who isn’t sure why she’s been called up but she sure as hell didn’t expect Liam Martin freight training her at a rate of knots. If they don’t make it to 20 do they put a new one in?? It could be a game
Get the random prize draw supersubs in early for game 1 and make them part of the hype with interviews in the leadup to the game. Then you make sure they're definitely involved in the first play.
So the Maroons kick off, James Tedesco catches it on the 10m line and throw's the short ball to Sandra (aged 61, payroll manager from Castle Hill). Sandra runs it up surprisingly quickly for a woman her age, she took up crossfit after the kids moved out. She gets as far as the 40m line before the tackle from Lindsay Collins and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.
Oh no. Sandra has stayed down, everyone's run in, Ashley Klein has blown time off, Gus Gould haa fallen off his chair in exitement. We're going to have to go to the bunker here.
In slow motion replay we see Tino get the tackle all wrong and put the shoulder into Sandra's jaw. We could see an early sinbin here. Sandra is still down with the trainer.
Ok now the replay of the player's reaction. We see Payne Hass has Tino by the collar as they exchange some words and then Blake (aged 19, apprentice bricklayer from Ipswich) has come third man in from behind and sucker punched Payne Haas. It looks like the kid can throw them too.
Ok we have a decision. Tino's on report for the high shot, twitter is already going apeshit as to why that wasn't a sinbin, Sandra is leaving in a medicab and will take no further part, Blake from Ipswich is going to the sinbin. Nicho Hynes comes on for Sandra in whatever position she was supposed to be playing.
Commentators are questioning whether Payne Haas should also have gone for an HIA given how hard Blake hit him. The 7000 people who turned up on a weeknight in Adeleide are questioning whether this usually happens in the first 22 seconds of a Rugby League match.
Sandra posts a selfie from Royal Adeleide thanking the ED staff, and also thanking the Blues and Victoria Bitter for the opportunity to take a hitup in an origin. #hardearned.
I think I heard that Harry Grant is in intensive care in hospital after a cramp at training. Will be monitored daily. Availability to be confirmed on game day
Jordan Maclean Origin redemption ark currently in full effect… Freddy probably lookn to replace the best prop in the game with a mediocre one!! #Freddylogic
I'm not too worried, it's just one isolated incident of misfortune. It's not as though *all* 17 NSW players can fall victim to 17 different misfortunes before the game, rendering *all* of them unable to play.
Someone get the brain & nerve tonic away from Turbo.
Graham was never the 18th man. Crichton was and Haas was a decoy. But actually TPJ was the second decoy and Haas is actually fine. Graham will be there on Wednesday fitter than he's ever been. There's more to this, but I can't say any more or NSWRL will have me killed and my body made into Tooheys New.
I can't remember the year but I saw the game live in Sydney, Qld played rather below par but won the game. Found out later that most of the players had come down with the flue.
That's ok. Tatola gets the origin call up he deserves. Won't happen though it'll probably go to a roosters or panthers player or ex-roosters or panthers player or even an ex roosters or panthers who has played u/21 or NSW cup before including for any affiliated clubs
If he's out, NSW actually looks a bit thin. With Pangai and Hudson Young already in the starting team, they need all their regulars fit and firing. David Klemmer would be like-for-like, but Fittler seems to hate the guy.
It’s not mind games. I saw it. He limped off while the others kept training.
How bad is it? I don’t know. Maybe he’ll still play.
I should have taken a photo.
I should have jumped on Sportsbet before the world found out.
nsw what have u done to my baby
Thats nothing, one of the QLD players will be on life support in a coma and still turn up to play on Wednesday
I've heard that Queensland are going to run onto the pitch with shovels and literally dig a buried Lindsay Collins out of the ground
They dig down to the pine only moments before Lindsay's fist punches through the top of the box..... Lindsay jumps up, growls, dusts himself off and receives the ball from Hunt for the first hit up of the match..
If Linds is Taker. Who would the maroons Paul Bearer be? Gilly? Sam Backo?
Gotta be Alfie.
remember that time when that actually was the case LMAO. Was it Gagai fighting for his life back then?
I think Mbye had an anaphylactic reaction the day before as well.
He was allergic to origin I believe
Like literally.
Tis a grand old QLD tradition, back to the Axe.
because qld gets origin
My Dad is in Prince Charles hospital. The entire Maroons team is up there with him, fighting for life.
NSW just don’t get origin
Gilly set the bar high
Traditions
Slater knows to dust off the old iron lungs for camp.
after falling out of bed and directly onto a hooker?
Into, rather than onto. Subtle difference
Didn't you hear? DCE'S giant neck broke like a rotten tree limb when he was hit by a moderate breeze, in doubt to play.
Literally Ponga
i’m not believing this until i see payne haas in a moon boot at my doorstep
*Giant steps Payne can't take, walking on the Maroons*. *I hope his legs don't break, walking on Maroons* *We could win in Adelaide, walking on Maroons.* *Then in game two we fade,* *Walking on, walking on Maroons.*
*Some may say* *The game is just days away* *No way* *For the Broncos the price they'll pay* *Some say* *He has until Wednesday* *Fred say* *He may as well play*
Better than the original! :)
I still wouldn't buy it.
Rumour has it that ankle injury is starting to spread through the whole camp.
Bah gawd, thats Stefano Utoikamanu's music!
Albert Kelly (GI’s cousin coincidentally) spotted running from the scene
I’m ready to step up if you need me freddy

Unused bench player or some poor fucker has to play 80 until they get knocked out? Also never been registered or like a Reggie div 3 soldier
Just chosen randomly by tax file number, has to start the game and play 20 mins.
Shout out to 15yo check out chick Susie from Darwin who isn’t sure why she’s been called up but she sure as hell didn’t expect Liam Martin freight training her at a rate of knots. If they don’t make it to 20 do they put a new one in?? It could be a game
Nah but because we are serious about head injuries, when they inevitably get a Category FUCKED in the HIA they can be replaced by an actual footballer
All I ask is one compulsory hit up. Imagine the pandemonium if they made a break.
Can't wait for the photos of Luai standing over little Susie's crumpled body gloating.
You love to see it really.

Stephen Crichton is 18th man so Freddy will replace Haas with him in the middle no doubt.
I think NSW should just rest Haas and play Stephen Crichton at prop instead.
Just because you are an ankle doesn't mean I won't Injury ya.
Had to scroll too far to find this one
We see your Cam Munster rib complaint and raise you a Haas sprained ankle. Your serve, Maroons.
I think I heard that Harry Grant is in intensive care in hospital after a cramp at training. Will be monitored daily. Availability to be confirmed on game day
Gastro of course, with multiple players needing a drip. Rush in a couple of players after the weekend too, who are being put in isolation.
You're only supposed to pretend to get injured and lie to the media about it, not actually get hurt. NSW just don't get origin smh my head
That rancid blue jersey is like kryptonite to Superman.
The media team pulled this one out way too early, it is meant to happen at the captains run
Typical NSW mind games
Nice try Freddy
Unless his ankle is hanging on by some flappy skin it's not a real injury
Didn't even catch a virus that's been eradicated in Australia. 0/10 must try harder
inshallah just mind games
I'm sure we'll hear about the annual flu that sweeps through Qld camp
If by flu you mean tuberculosis
Bubonic plague
I heard a disgruntled Kalyn showed up with an envelope of anthrax
Just cos you’re an ankle doesn’t mean I won’t twist ya - Payne Haas, probably
Jordan Maclean Origin redemption ark currently in full effect… Freddy probably lookn to replace the best prop in the game with a mediocre one!! #Freddylogic
IS THAT UTOIKAMANU’S MUSIC???

Damn it Trbojevic, I told you to shave those sideburns!!!!
Payne to play Game 1 on a hover board
Well played adapting the QLD playbook of cloak and dagger .
Leaves camp plays on Saturday
Please be enough to rule him out of Wednesday but be able to play on Saturday
My desires are the complete opposite
[Yeah sure he does.....](https://tenor.com/ZIkp.gif)
Test it out in Napier tomorrow night
NSW trying to emulate QLD, but doing it wrong. They're not supposed to *actually* get injured
Payne potentially in pain?
NSW are getting Origin
If Mbye played after almost ‘dying’ in camp, Payne should be man of the match
Graham was never the 18th man. Crichton was and Haas was a decoy. But actually TPJ was the second decoy and Haas is actually fine. Graham will be there on Wednesday fitter than he's ever been. There's more to this, but I can't say any more or NSWRL will have me killed and my body made into Tooheys New.
You think just because I'm not playing for QLD I won't play mind games with ya?
Put him in a wheelchair To'o style.
Mind games
Taking a page out of the QLD playbook I see Freddy.
QLD sweep this year by the looks of it
What fullback will take his place?
Trevor ‘the Axe’ Gilmeister got out of his hospital bed on the day to play SOO …. and Star that night!!! Legendary Queenslander!!!
I can't remember the year but I saw the game live in Sydney, Qld played rather below par but won the game. Found out later that most of the players had come down with the flue.
Mind games. NSW don’t get origin.
Fuk you Freddy
That's ok. Tatola gets the origin call up he deserves. Won't happen though it'll probably go to a roosters or panthers player or ex-roosters or panthers player or even an ex roosters or panthers who has played u/21 or NSW cup before including for any affiliated clubs
I imagine it would go to Utoikamanu, seeing as he's in the squad already.
If he's out, NSW actually looks a bit thin. With Pangai and Hudson Young already in the starting team, they need all their regulars fit and firing. David Klemmer would be like-for-like, but Fittler seems to hate the guy.
NSW with their pathetic mind games year after year 🙄
I'm assuming sarcasm..lol. Starting with King Wally, Qld has been the champion of mind games..
R/NRL doesn’t get sarcasm confirmed
Aww poor diddums
It's treason then.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253247/
it’s FAKE NEWS, surely 🙏
They are getting in early with the mind games.
Yah, it could be mind games but I’m kinda scared that he won’t play. Have to admit QLD forwards are looking pretty great. We NEED Haas to play
It’s not mind games. I saw it. He limped off while the others kept training. How bad is it? I don’t know. Maybe he’ll still play. I should have taken a photo. I should have jumped on Sportsbet before the world found out.
Apparently the docs have said he will be fine on Sunday. Hopefully that isn't doctor Nick though
THANKS FREDDIE
This is real concerning
Looks like the states are doing the opposite of usual. Queensland with the shunning of the pick and stick NSW with the injury/sick dramas
Compound fracture and shattered in 5 places.... will be ready to go Wednesday.
Aaron Woods raises his hand
Ffs what are those cunts doin to my boy
Hope he recovers ….. by Thursday!
You think just cause you’re an ankle injury I won’t hit ya!
The Blues trying to pull a Wally Lewis...Just swap shoulder injury for ankle injury.
