I wanna see Kenty vs Andrew Johns talk about this
same here
Loving this implicit back and forth. Each making very valid points
His choice mate, only good for international Rugby league anyway, footy still wins in the end..
exactly my thought. plus there is a good chance that he would never play for australia or nsw considering hes behind yeo, Murray and pat carrigan
@@timobrien9367 I'm not being biased, But Victor would've already played origin If it wasn't due to injuries and suspension's. Plus many people rate Radley above the likes of Yeo and Carrigan. Radley is made for state of origin and that's facts.
How is it good for international rugby league? He's a bloody Aussie
@@rooster7591 who could you have had him starting over
@@TheJuicyjunk Mate.. His representing his fathers heritage, he made a choice. Be good seeing him facing off the the Australian boys.
Kent played one game for Parramatta 33 years ago, that's 89 less than Radley.
Fact is Radley hasn't played for NSW or Aust and probably wont, If England guarantee him a spot good on him.
Does show the level of the poms at the moment though.
Radley is just too much of a loose cannon at the moment and can be a liability. If he tames it down a bit he’ll be an all round quality player.
How original of you to bring up kents one game.
Who cares. Good on him for wanting to represent England. Aus have so many player's to choose from anyways. Gives another player a chance to make the Aus team and nsw blue's in the future. Goodluck to him.
Theres that NSW passion 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! What a big surprise!! I hope he will do well in England.👌
Bizza pledges to samoa and everyone is supportive but radley wants to play for England and everyone's up in arms, make ya mind up man 😂
I wouldn't exactly say that.. Bizza copped HEAPS of criticism across the board.
4:01 explains it all fellas
@@bigrock213 What's your point lol. We know the rules.
playing for samaoa you can still play origin and everyone likes samoans, play for England you can't rep your state and you play for the most hated country on earth.
ur shitting me right? kenty was quite literally being racist to to'o saying he shouldn't be allowed to play for his home land just because he played for blues. so this comment is actually so tone def. bruh
He’s made a choice to represent England and I’m sure his dad would be very proud of him sure if that would’ve made a lot of sacrifices for him growing up and now I guess this is Victor’s way of showing him the appreciation
Not even 2 years ago, he said he'd never play for England cos Origin meant too much. He's done it because he wasn't getting selected for Origin. No issue with his choice, and he's actually unlucky due to suspensions and injuries as to why he hasn't played origin already... but my point is, let's not make it some sort of proud ancestral English heritage to pay back his parents or grandparents etc.
More important things!!!! Surely
He had a gut feeling the Aussie side might be a bit maroon heavy.
His position there are 2 other locks in the game that are in front… Cam Murray and Isaah Yeo. Both Nsw, nice try though.
@Atlas He's future Broncos, QLD n Aussie Captain.
Nah, he is just having a dummy spit because he hasn’t been picked just yet.
then goodbye to the WC
@Atlas : I don’t reckon, Mal is loyal and will play Isaah Yeo there despite Carrigan being a QLder.
Why can’t we talk about how good it is that england has a new good player hopefully other nrl players help strengthen the Pom side a thought World Cup is good for business that goes out to all the countries involved.
because that wouldn't get anywhere near the engagement or ratings lol
Cause origin is better than international footy
Because PK needs to be outraged
@@paulywalnutz5855 they did finish 2nd in 2017 and only lost by 6 points - the feeling is their backs are better this time but maybe their forwards arnt as good - Roby is a massive loss.
@@imalwaysright its the entire premise of the show lol
I love this show at least they don't shy from expressing an opinion . I agree with Kenty ;
I've said it for years going back to the 90's you jam a Joe Ordinary player into a Old Origin side ; he immediately grows six inches in stature and an extra set of gonads .
When Qld had Cronk Smith Thurston Inglis Slater a win for them was pretty much done and dusted .
Reverse the tables ; put out a star studded NSW side versus an average Qld team and those Canetoads often find ways to pull off a miracle .
.
I hope one day I have the same passion for life as Kenty does tearing players down
Lol
Fox league with a whole lot of mayo
And staggs who was dropped was opting to give up his Tonga jumper to play for NSW. Bring in a guy who didn't want to be there if given the option
This is so good the international game more nrl players should pick their country of heritage or birth.
Exactly..New Zealand has lost so many players over the years from State of Origin rules, or players deciding to play for their "heritage" country...something the Kiwis battle with most years. Wherever you were born, is the country you play for..so simple.
@@peteynum1 i think we are seeing a change in international league. Looks like more and more nrl players are picking their heritage over Australia which is sweet because Australia winning EVERYTHING was so boring imo
@@cliffymanneye4831 🤣🤣🤣
So the second rate teams just have all the second rate, Australian players?
Kenty consistently referring to Cam Murray as the blues preferred 13 when he plays second row and Isaiah Yeo plays 13 speaks volumes about his credibility. Does this bloke actually watch footy?
Murray should be the 13, Yeo sucks
He is a muppet.. hate listening to this bloke
Kenty is spot on. Freddy, Brandy & Joey must define what the Blues Jersey means & what it means to be a New South Welshman. What do the NSW people stand for? They passionately ‘Bleed Blue’ - but what for? What does winning Origin mean to the Blues players & the people of NSW? Why is it important & meaningful to them? Why should the Blues players be given the privilege to represent NSW? Why does the Blues Jersey mean everything to Joey & the players he mentioned? Why do losses shatter him? Who are the Blues & what is NSW’ character? When those questions have confident, clear, public answers - the Blue players will find inspiration to dig deep during the tough games when things aren’t going their way & find a way to win because they’re not simply relying on individual performance, talents & brilliance - but a true belief & pride in their cause
Rubbish
They need to bring in the Ex Blues players that were there in the bad times. Joey and Fittler don't have the skills to teach grit because they rarely had to while playing Origin. Qld players have that underdog in them from the get go.
That's exactly what QLD is about playing for their state and people that's their passion when they wear that maroon jersey win, lose or draw it's always been that. Joey was so off the mark when he was sooking about the passion of the maroon jersey on Immortal behaviour. He never mentioned playing for the state of nsw or the people when wearing the blue sky jersey
blues play for glory mate we play for our jersey no pride in the blues too much ego and tryna look good on tik tok
@Dark Magician My thoughts was green? Then the 100$ green bill popped into my head 😂
How is the debate about passion for the blues... Rather than Freddy making some absolutely shocking selection decisions.... Stop protecting Freddie who got outcoached by a rookie and stop pushing the blame on the players
100% mate
Yep
How I look at it, the players are the ones on the field playing football the coach is on the sideline or the coaches box, the players are the ones who are actually play the game and they put results on the board the coach carnt be the reason they lost. if the coach is the reason they lost the coach would be playing.
Slater outcoached them and they can’t deal. Always need something else to blame.
Yes, you’re 100% correct. Freddy’s coaching was a shocker. His decision making for the entire series was abysmal. New coach please 🥴
I'm a Toad through and through, but good on Joey for his passion, that is what it's all about..
He was a salty clown
Origin is a great product with a storied legacy but having it as the pinnacle of the sport is exclusive and limits growth. Pundits are out of touch with the players and the direction the game is going.
@Atlas It is the most watched event this year, but will be eclipsed by the AFL grand final. AFL is Australia's biggest sport.
@@imalwaysright AFL Australia only. Rugby union is 2nd to soccer? GLOBAL
@Atlas As a new zealander i wouldn't support no south blues, iv supported the maroons since i was a little wipper snipper.. No way would i support no nsw or south blue
""having it as the pinnacle of the sport is exclusive and limits growth "" what on earth are you on about . You should be script writing for Kamahla Harris
@@missybilly7777 And still Australia's biggest sport. You don't need growth when you have a great product. I don't know why people are obsessed with growth.
Good on him. This will only help the International game.
Paul Kent's job is rugby league.. and he's about the only one in Australia that says cam Murray is the number 13 for the blues and not Yeo. That says a lot about his knowledge and opinion.
His job is to play the devils advocate. No player will do it.
@@icmull his job is to antagonise people into watching
He has no idea!!!!!
What do they not get. Let international grow larger and it will benefit nrl so much more.
Bolo Kent seems to know everything. Even more then the players themselves. Bloody Gronk.
This argument is hilarious. NSW won last year and should have won this year. They lose and Kenty & co bringing up this bleeding for the jersey bullshit
When they won Game 2 he was annoyed because it didn't fit his narrative and outbursts
@@imalwaysright Exactly, as if Qld didn't "get" Origin that night.
I say bring it on and keep questioning the Blues passion. This all happened after the 2020 Origin series and look what happened the following year. The most dominant Origin series win of all time with all three games in Queensland.
Kenty says nsw lack passion yet he tipped them to win game three 32-6.
Maybe that's why he says that though ... NSW consistenly losing games they should win. I can't recall a time when QLD were heavy heavy favourites only to lose... This year and 2 years ago, QLD should not have won. NSW should be on a 4 year winning streak, if the shoe was on the other foot - I doubt QLD allow the same to happen. PS I'm a blues supporter through and through and think Kent is a d1ckhead 50% of the time, which is why this hurts - but no point pretending - call it for what it is
He's a Grub, said nothing after game 2 , but now all of a sudden they lack passion
@@theophilus1981 who woulda thought.. a media personality being a grub to grab headlines … plz… the more we comment on utube Or elsewhere, the more $ he makes. Kent 1 - haters 0
@@iEATiDRINKiPLAY still a Grub though lols
@@theophilus1981 Adzitee summed it up perfect above... and yeah he's a grub - but your original comment is a bit dumb. If a team thats heavy favourites to win, wins... then there isn't anything to comment.. but when that team loses, thats what the fuss is about. NSW are STACKED right now, like QLD were for their 8 year dynasty.. but Blues can't win 3 in a row its actually pathetic
Good for you Victor. Godless you bro
Bruh Kent is actually such a flog
There’s currently at least 2 maybe 3 players ahead of him for NSW #13 & more players coming through. He wants rep football. We all need competition at international level for the future of the game. Aus currently has 4x as many people playing the game than Eng or NZ. Everyone should be encouraging this.
Kenny Murray isn’t even the preferred 13 he plays second row
Don't mess with origin , good on Victor for his decision ,he will shine for England .
He can cop what he wants over there, hes welcome up here any time to play.
Just a thought what about the fans? Are maroons fans more passionate about QLD than blues are about NSW ? I never really hear people say the blues are hard to beat at home where as people always say never count out the maroons at suncorp
Ur just copying what Kent said last week and the reason why for Suncorp is because historically qld have been near perfect. Brisbane is rugby league country and has a rich history in the sport
@@ricddjdb1219 had no clue he said that Guess lots of people think about it then true Brisbane pretty hardcore
I dont know about blues supporters but when Qld lose a game i am disheartened for a week or until the next game. When we lose a series the pain is strong for at least a month then lingers for a whole year until the next series begins. For me everything is about Origin, a diehard loyal fan since 1980 (8 yrs old) when Big Artie did us so very proud. In short, I live for Origin!
@Atlas those 2 turbo and latrell always make qld nervous lol
@Atlas Daley retires, look whose coming up in halves for Qld
Good for the international game
One minute in, he knows he will never play for Australia with Mal ( Queenslander) Meninga as coach this year after a Queensland origin win. The time frame in his career to play in a World Cup at his age and number of injuries he's sustained is very limited. I don't blame him for making this decision but would have loved watching him play at Origin level.
Jason Taumalolo can play for QLD if they change they rules
Kent! Don't ever judge anyone!
It is for the good of test Rugby. Just look at the Tongan RED flags when they play, make test competitions more meaningful and more exciting.
International should be made the pinnacle of rugby league but SOO is the money maker
Well done
He's 24, yet to play for NSW or Australia, and probably thinks he'll never get picked ahead of Yeo and Murray. So good luck to him.
When the islander boys do it they kick up a stink and call us all kinds of stuff.. non islander does it "all good it's his decision good on him"
Lol wtf are you on… everyone was supportive when bizza chose to play for Samoa. When victor makes the decision to play for another country it’s titled “Radley turns back on blues & kangaroos”
If your born in NSW, you play for NSW, if you are born in QLD, you play for QLD. Stop all this bullshit that has started in the past decade, if your of international descent and want to play for your heritage, the Australian Rugby league should step in, and say you can't play state of origin football, it's that simple.
Nsw change their team way too much no wonder they don't have any pride and loyalty. Radley made a good decision good on him all the best on his future and one more thing UP THE MIGHTY QUEENSLAND MAROONS ✊
He’s an origin player. He fits that mold of hard edged no nonsense player you need. Liam Martin, Jack Wighton etc I’m a QLDER so take it with a pinch of salt but just my opinion.
Wow Paul Kent being Negative again who would have thought. Good on Radley, please stop with your negative opinion, the Blues have heart ask any real fan, I would like to see Paul Kent do better on the field instead of behind his desk !
Kent is a joke, to question Freddy and Greg Alexander's coaching style, where were all these questions last year when they destroyed Qld? He is an absolute grub to question the passion of this blues team, it was a great series, how would he know what these guys are feeling,
To be fair there was some very average selection calls but that's about it...
@@thecricketer7928 absolutely and I agree, but question if Freddy and Greg is passionate is disrespectful, every coach has their down moments, they took a gamble on selections which worked in game 2 but because it didn't see work in game 3 their integrity as coaches come into question from a Grub journalist who was praising the after game 2, that's all I'm saying
@@theophilus1981 These guys do more damage to NRL brand than anyone. The third game was probably the best game of rugby league I've seen in 60 years, and one of the best sporting contests full stop. Any other sport in the world would be shouting from the rooftops how good the game is, but here's these z-grade journos inventing some negative angle every frigging night. I don't get why Fox spend hundreds of millions buying the television rights, then pay these nobodies to tear down the game every night.
The QLD jersey means to them what the All Blacks jersey mean to the kiwis.... As a new south Welshman we don't have what they have , not anymore anyway
Shut up, bet you weren't thinking that after game 2, get off Kent's nuts, they lost because Qld was better on the night, has nothing to do with passion
Let's be honest, Rueben Cotter would've been ahead of Radley in the selection for Australia. And Kenty has proven his point again especially mentioning Gagai who had the most missed tackles in the series, but Billy chose to put trust in him whereas soon as the Blues get a loss they make umteen changes, they don't bring in the people that have given their heart in the previous years. Sad to say, but you gotta admit he's right
NSW have plenty of passion, this whole NSW vs QLD passion thing is bullshit created by the media
looking forward to seeing him play along side Bateman, Farrell, Knowles and the rest of our pack💪
How come no one questioned QLDs passion in game 2 when they got thumped? They gave up halfway through the second half, NSW loses narrowly in a brutal game and all of a sudden they’re called passionless. Last time I checked it was Paul Vautin who was caught on a live mic last year saying they should cancel game 3, as well as QLDers saying “origin is dead” when NSW destroyed them, where’s the passion there?
Exactly!!!Lols
blues play for glory mate we play for our jersey no pride in the blues too much ego and tryna look good on tik tok
@@KwisBwown u gave up in game 2 oh what about last year didnt even turn up in your own backyard weak dogs.. nsw never give up
@@KwisBwown qld should play with a white flag on there arm bands signfiying that yeh they play with passion sometimes but give up when it gets too hard

Knowles, Lees, Bateman, Radley, Walmsley, Bachelor. Some decent forwards for England there.
We may have the slimmest of slim chances now 😂🇬🇧
Depends on your spine. Everywhere else you're good
Dont forget England only lost by 1 try in 2017 and they have better backs now. If England can persuade Roby to delay his retirement by 2 months England will have a chance- everything goes through him.
Turned his back on who? A Blues side that was only giving him a maybe chance over the next few years?.....If they really wanted him, they would have played him. England have offered him a spot, great for international rugby.
Foran was born in Auckland
Strengthen the other countries repping Thier other part of their parents heritage.. good on ya buddy.hopefully more follow..
So much for being a Bondi boy.
This World Cup is about to be a very interesting one.
I'm sorry but why isn't qlds passion being questioned in game 2 when they were absolutely trampled?? Missing 54 tackles in a game of origin?? And you are questioning the blues passion. Come on kenty pull you're head in
Look at the Tupou try in game 2. QLD gave up and watched him run closer to the try line.
Ok let's break this down shall we...
5:27 > I know I've upset people but it's the reality
Pointing out why Kent is wrong doesn't automatically mean the people doing so are upset. This is pure deflection. Kent is entitled to his opinion but it wasn't reality- it was a load of reactionary nonsense that he never would've voiced had Cleary's chip-kick been regathered by a NSW player that they scored from and won Game 3. People were right to call it out.
5:50 > Qlders speak about Qld first, Australia second
Which ones? Name 5 Qld players (past or present) who have claimed this? Wally Lewis said he always viewed himself as Australian first, Qld second. Brad Thorn and Tonie Carroll both represented NZ , Adrian Lam played for PNG. This is different somehow? Radley can see that his chances of playing international footy long-term are much better if he declares his eligibility for England. Good for him and England.
6:40 > (Gus) made (NSW) get what it was all about
So Daley, Fittler, Stuart Harragon, Brasher, Johns etc. all coming of age as players and combining together in those NSW teams at the same time Lewis, Meninga and those other Qld greats from the 80's retired was just incidental, was it? It's like claiming Qld won 8 in a row because of passion and spirit with not a word spoken about the line-ups they ran out in that time!
7:45 > Latrell Mitchell some years back, Cody Walker some years back Luke Keary some years back
Latrell Mitchell and Cody walker both had sub-par games for NSW in Game 1 2019 and were (rightfully) dropped. It was their attitude, not their ability that caused it. That same thing Kent reckons certain key players in the current Blues team lack. Considering NSW came back from 1-0 down to win that 2019 series, I'd say Freddy justified his decisions there. And citing Luke Keary- the guy who ummmed and ahhhhed deciding which state he was eligible for? Literally 1 minute after accusing current Blues players of not having enough passion for the jersey? Again, Kent is entitled to his position but at least be consistent.
8:15 > Where was Dane Gagai's form?
Here we go again, this "Dane Gagai is superman at Origin level" myth does the rounds again. Might be worth going back and watching the defence of Gagai (and Ponga for that matter) at Origin level. It's no better than their efforts for Newcastle every week. If NSW had even half the amount of football in Qld's 20 metre zone in Game 3 that Qld had up the other end, the defensive frailties of both those players would've been savagely underlined.
9:00 > I got the impression that Andrew Johns was more upset than half the blokes in the dressing room
You want the NSW players kicking chairs and bawling their eyes out? Not every player carries on like Joey or JT when they lose, doesn't mean they don't care about the game. When Qld lost Game 2 (or Games 1 and 2 last year) they sat around in the dressing room not saying much either- and they put in less of an effort than NSW did on Wednesday night. Where was the discussion about Qld's lack of passion then- which brings me to the biggest bell-ringer at the end:
9:27 > Every year (Qld) go away and they renew, and they reinvigorate what it means to wear the Qld jersey
Of course they do- except when they lose a series. Or (pretty much every game Qld have lost since 2019) they get soundly beaten by NSW. What happened last series? 3 games in Qld and the Maroons were destroyed by a record score in the opening match, in front of the most partisan crowd in Origin history. 95% of that crowd were Qld fans and the Maroons barely turned up. Game 2 Qld were in it until Latrell scored the intercept, then they gave up completely. Next to the 2010 Blues team, I can't recall seeing an Origin side who looked more disorganised or disinterested- and this was a team that had DCE and Munster in it. Where was Kent or anybody else slating Qld's lack of passion then? Where was the "we back our own, we pick and stick!" when they sacked Paul Green after just that one series to bring Slater in?
It's laughable that people like Kent ask when the culture in the NSW Origin team is going to change? Maybe it's the media's handling of Origin that need to change instead? They could starting with a more consistent/ balanced evaluation of players, teams and coaching staff instead of propagating this (demonstrably false) narrative that whenever NSW win it's because they have the better team/ game plan but whenever Qld win (regardless of the details) it's because of #passion and #spirit.
I haven't submitted a single article for any sports publication in my life but I swear I could do a better job than at least half a dozen of the journos who cover the game- and that shouldn't be the case.
Well said
What does Victor think about Australia becoming a Republic?
So Kent has coached and played at that level and worn the blues jersey. Must be nice to comment on something you have never experience. 🥴🤣🤣
Kenty is a muppet! What’s he gonna say if the 5 or 6 kiwi born players that played origin this year decided to go back to the kiwis🤷♂️
Origin, like the NRL is a great spectacle but it doesn't evolve as it should. Rushing in changes or changing the rules with no long term planning ( for $$$$$$$) is killing this game.
I think Kenty is correct about loyalty. NSW had the better team on paper and were certain to win game 3 so certain in fact that even Paul Galen had a bet with Lockyer to pack the Qld players bags into the bus with a cane toad on his head. 😂 I’m not saying NSW didn’t have the heart and the passion the spirit but Qld rose to the occasion they showed more fight to win and that showed by the crazy celebrations after Ben Hunts try because Qld was not expected to win given the flogging from game 2 and NSW’s star studded team unlimited talented players to choose from. Qld did have more grit to win on the night as both teams didn’t lack passion but Qld wanted it more so they fought harder therefore had more spirit to win.
Not enough Pride ! Passion ! Commitment ! and most of All Respect ,for our Blue Jersey & State . 😎🏝🐋☮️.
Whilst I do not agree with what some Queenslanders and Kent are saying. I say bring it on and keep questioning the Blues passion. This all happened after the 2020 Origin series and look what happened the following year. The most dominant Origin series win of all time with all three games in Queensland.
@The LowKi No we have actually won 3/5 origin series lol
@The LowKi why did you delete your comment?
Be interesting to see what position he will play? Morgan Knowles is nailed on to play 13 you would think.
Yes Knowles is an outstanding player
However I don't think it's completely encumbent upon the coaching staff to instil the passion into their players, they should be walking into camp already buying into what they're playing for.
Queensland's passion is cultural, earning a maroon jumper is like being handed your first baggy green.
NSW has certainly had players passionate about playing for their state, but unlike QLD it seems like a passion they have to find for themselves.
I dont get it, multiple players who went selected to play for their respect countries, they didnt get selected in origin nrl this year. Why is paul k#$% or the panel singled out victor radley out
Play for England definatley or maybe play origin.
Calculated decision!
So is that passion for the jersey Paul Kent? Only when it suits you.
Kent is 100% right
You serious his opinions are killing our game.
I swear, it’s the same story every year. When we win, they never question the passion but when we lose, they question everything! This time around, it wasn’t passion, why NSW lost, its Freddy’s strategies from game 1 lost us the series. Should of won at home, knowing a decider in Brisbane is 100-1 chance of winning going by record. Kentys just bring up BS
I say bring it on and keep questioning the Blues passion. This all happened after the 2020 Origin series and look what happened the following year. The most dominant Origin series win of all time with all three games in Queensland.
@@nswblues3146 💯 Qlders were just lucky we didn’t have our star players where as for them, they had all their star players playing every series for almost a decade👀 something in the water up there I suppose… lols just Fittler needs stop chopping and changing the squad and stick to the winning formula!!!
Yep andrew John’s was in his right to be upset, but he needs to curb his mouth and show up as a commentator to the end of the show… he might’ve been a legend on the field but he’s got a long way to go and grow up off the field. ✅
Kenty wants to say its the non Aussies in the Blues. Just say it mate.
Freddy will have to get the boot..
Kentys correct. The blues are in disarray and the past few days post-match and the inconsistencies run deep in NSW.. its just an accolade if its Blue.. Kotoni Staggs would've played game III with real passion but... Freddy.The clown thought he was playing a master stroke by dropping him for some shysty replacement and it blew up in his face, can't make this shhh up
Disarray??? We lost in a competitive series, after winning last year, yeah Freddie made mistakes, but there's always next year, no use in talking about shoulda,coulda, wouldas. We'll smash the maroons next year, mark my words
Imagine your big piece of evidence to back up your opinion is that Kotoni Staggs didn't play... he was one of our worst game 1, he needs a few more years to develop.
Rugby league is a business,, average career for a NRL player is 92 games
Have you played origin or international footy kenty? 🤷♂️🤷♀️
It’s pretty sad that as a QLD Maroons supporter through & through - I feel pity for the Blues legends like Joey who’ve been let down by their current squad who care more about playing for other countries than for NSW. Joey being a player who now has severe epilepsy from all the head knocks he copped whilst giving his all for his state. NSW must define what it means to be a Blue & build a strong culture
I’d say Goddard had a fair bit to do with that epilepsy 😉
🤣 well said 👍
Joey the sook? Lmao
He slurs a bit when he talks… I was wondering if it was the drinking.
Does Freddy get any blame for picking the players??
Well for goodness sake let the man be and respect his decision and his choice. It's bloody awesome for International rugby league. At the end of the day Rugby league wins.
first of all yea, murray doesnt play 13 for NSW, he plays in the back row, secondly radley made the squad this year whilst injured, if he plays his best footy around the origin period he probably starts in the other back row spot or at least gets on the bench, its not about he cant make the team, if he wants to rep england for his dad let him
I gotta say, there’s 3 forwards Radley, Murray and Matterson who a few years ago, I was sure would be the backbone of NSW. How do NSW keep messing this up? If they were QLDers they would be.
Why are they all tip toeing around the real issue? All allegiances should’ve been declared well in advance of origin 1. State of origin should be strictly used as rep games for selection for Australia, as it always has been. Don’t dilute SoE but give the other players who aren’t interested playing for aus another platform to showcase their skills for their respective countries i.e a tri series of NZ Maori, Tonga and Samoa
Then why are there guys that have played for Australia but have never played origin?
@@lauifisaufoisamoa it’s one of the greatest flaws of NRL and the ARL. They flip flop so constantly on their policies that it’s the only consistent thing about them
Yeah but Who said he is automatically going to be the starting lock with the likes of St Helens Morgan Knowles and Morgan Smithies at Wigan
most players are dual eligible! those are the benefits they have. they can represent more than 1 country. they have that right with the current rules. Luai and To’o represented samoa before they wore that sky blue jersey. it wasn’t a issue last year when they won 🤷🏽♂️ why is it a issue now? QLD should be getting the same criticism, if that’s his logic, papalii, tino and nanai carried the samaon flag on their back after the game 3 win! Kent needs to go lay down on the M1 lol
If England pick him in the squad he would be a great back up for Morgan Knowles- maybe even and interchange off the bench option.
He'll be starting
@@codyking3825 general feeling in the UK is that Knowles is a better player but VR would be a great bench player - Knowles is an outstanding player - probably one of Englands 3 True World Class players alongside Walmsley and Makemson.
Radley is a better player imo. One of the best ball playing forwards in the nrl
@@Connor6569 thats your opinion lad - if you have seen Knowles in action you will realise how good he is - that's why Saints tied him down on a big contract to keep him away from the NRL.
Yeah he wasn't making the Aussie team. Yeo, Murray and Cotter all ahead of him lol
International sport should always be the pinnacle.
They need to change Origen rules. A lot of English players would make the teams aswell.
NSW have been heavy favourites, ppl who don’t support a state an just watch for fun I guarantee we’re rooting for QLD
Braith to PK last week: "Are you as big a NSW supporter as the QLD supporters". Bam.
You know, I low-key get what kent is saying aye, Sometimes I do feel like its a " STATUS " thing for some of the players that are eligible for NSW but its an argument thats stuck between a rock and a hard place because you have to understand that they're PACIFIC ISLAND HERITAGE Players that we're born RIGHT HERE IN AUSTRALIA weather it be from QLD, NSW, VIC etc... Just how you have to reaslise with the Radley situation that they're ENGLAND, SCOTTISH, IRISH, LEBONEASE, ARABIAN, AFRICAN, JAMACAIN, and the list goes on players that are BORN IN AUSTRALIA. If its really going to come down to this argument I think they should STRIP BACK the eligibility rules for ORIGIN and just make it PURELY BASED ON AUSTRALIAN FULL BORNS to represent there STATE that will be the only way to rule it out and IF ANY OTHER HERITAGE that is also Australian born decides to want to represent a STATE OF ORIGIN they will have to sacrifice that HERITAGE JERSEY on all cylinders, They will have too realise representing a STATE has repercussions on there REP FOOTY, That means MAORI, TONGAN, SAMOAN, FIJIN etc that are born here either play for AUSTRALIA after being selected and playing for a STATE OF ORIGIN, Pledge to your HERITAGE NATION and miss out on ORIGIN or Play ORIGIN IF SELECTED and Miss out on REP FOOTY all together if not selected for AUSTRALIA, It just has too be like that too elimiate this issue, Every player has PRIDE for whatever jersey they put on weather if its CLUB, STATE or INTERNATIONAL. Saying someone doesn't have PRIDE is defamation of there CHARACTER thats basically the other flipside to what Kent is saying and its a TOUGH STATEMENT so its a pretty intense topic which I think should just be forgotten quicker then it is always brung up cause it can really cause A LOT OF PROBLEMS in the long run.
qld would of beat everyother footy side on the planet by 80 in origin 3 but we were still going with them at the death until a lucky intercept. that took commitment from the blues but the better side won. end of story
lol nsw won by 50 last year then by 30 nobody questioned qlds passion but this year we lose game 1 by 4 points and all of a sudden we arent passionate enough lol
@ Pauly - exactly, it really is a stupid idea for stupid people. Since Origin started the results are broadly about 50/50. If people are stupid enough to believe that Qld somehow only "get it" 50% of the time, they are beyond help.
Only a couple of Samoans in their squad were born in Samoa, nothing said about that.
The bottom line is it helps the international game. I doubt they had a problem with kiwi players jumping ship to represent other countries for the WC but when it affects Australia then all of a sudden it’s a big sook and betrayal. If we want the international game to actually be interesting and not just be AU,NZ and sometimes England we’ve got to let ppl represent who they want to.
Kent is a clown, winning doesn't equal passion. You can not measure a teams passion purely based on outcome and if this is your belief then I suggest giving yourself an uppercut for being a dropkick.
They need to bring in the Ex Blues players that were there in the bad times. Joey and Fittler don't have the skills to teach grit because they rarely had to while playing Origin. Qld players have that underdog in them from the get go. If you were a neutral watching the first Origin you would get behind QLD. Something NSW just won't get and can't really be taught.
Lots of mayo in your house hold grantis.
Yeah just like when Queensland had that grit in 2021 when the Blues put 50 on them... Blues had a ton of gun players missing throughout the series... Grit can only do so much and when NSW gets their full strength team back they will put 50 on the Maroons again.
@@Ben.Carroll Lots of sticky socks in your room I bet Ben
@@thecricketer7928 the difference is QLD also had gun players missing and they still got the job done. if NSW were missing a main half they would throw the towel in and blame the reff like they usually do.
@@Luke-rt9gy Turbo and Latrell missed all 3 games, Munster missed 1...
