State of Origin - Centres (contains spoiler)

Post by nathan_rugby »

Are the NRL struggling for quality centres at the minute?

NSW have Gutherson who has played fullback the last few years and Jack Wighton who plays in the halves are lining up at centre.

QLD have Gagai and Capewell.

Is anyone injured? Is anyone in form in the NRL but not picked for whatever reason?

I know? But he is playing centre, hence the post.

Missed tackles from Gutherson and Wighton on the halfway line allowed QLD to get back into this.

The blues lost because they totally disrespected the weak maroons team imo...... nathan is right, both NSW centres are not used to that position and got found out big time....... Gagai ran wighton ragged and gutherson got smashed a few times and struggled........ its always been a thing with NSW, they pick the form players but tend to swap positions( albeit too much choice in sydney)....... in Queensland they have little choice and the team usually picks itself.

FFS! The title of the thread even says "no spoiler" :roll: I've only watched the first half so far

Who could the blues have picked instead at centre ? Surely they’ll change it for next week but can they?

Because presumably, he thought he could safely read the thread without someone spilling the beans :?
i.e. "no spoiler !!"

You could also say that on a thread with "no spoiler" in the title, common sense would determine that there are no spoilers in the posts, hence why I DIDN'T read the other post that had "contained spoilers" in the title.

Maybe I just don't have enough common sense to have thought there might actually be a spoiler, despite the title saying otherwise :roll:
