Keary dropped for game 2

[Tommy Smith]

Pretty crazy from Freddy to drop the 3x Premiership winning best playmaker in the game after one Origin game.

Meanwhile Cleary has done less than nothing in 6 games and choked in the GF but is picked every game.

Bizarre and Keary should be filthy. Shocking treatment of the game's most skillful and best big game playmaker (FACT).

Walker for Keary? **** Freddy and NSW, I’m going for Friend & Collins... and bloody QLD! Not happy Jan!

Thank goodness I held back from buying tix to the game. Disappointing move and as I’ve said in many posts: Cleary the next SOO Mitchell Pearce. He’s been found wanting on more than one occasion, and with Walker at 5/8 I’ll be cheering for qld for the second time ever in 40 years. First time was when Artie played 40 years ago.

Living in QLD, I’m thinking of going to the game and going for QLD (with some disgust) with my blues scarf if Walker is still in the team.

How is gutho still in the team he got dusted up by a bench forward playing in the centres surely Crichton from the Panthers is a better option

[gragra]

the good news is he cant get a concussion or any other injury...same with Boyd....its good for us Roosters !

Don't give a shit about Origin.

Could be a blessing in disguise that Keary was dropped. At least he will have a proper rest/off-season. The last two have consisted of UK travel for the world club challenge. Maybe Freddy doing us a favour.

Walker is shit, and Cleary is Mitchell Pearce mk 2. Ok in club footy, but out of depth in rep footy.

Looks like I won’t be going for NSW but for the Roosters guys on both sides. Angus, Toops, Teddy, Collins and Friend.

that's the way I'm looking at it. one head knock for keary, this he can rest along with boyd and come back all guns blazing for the rw&b.

Exactly, and why not Lomax? He had a great season. Gutherson was Dally Ms fullback of the year, play him there and rest Teddy along with Cordner and Keary, they’ve had a tough year with injuries and we need them rested for next year. Fk NSW and go Easts.

[King Salvo]

Keary may as well leave camp as well as if Qld win whats the point of playing in game 3 and if NSW win then they wont change the side for game 3 unless for injury- so much for backing the halves

[roostermcgregor]

Whilst Freddy is running his eye over the Blues team he should hook Toops for that wayward pass, Teddy for not making any linebreaks, and Angus for not running enough down the edge.
That way, nearly all our players can rest and concentrate on what is important- the Roosters 2021 campaign.
Stuff Origin and stuff the Blues- I couldn't care less anymore.

Big congrats to Teddy for being named skipper. Huge honour for him

[Mickie Lane]

I was surprised to hear Teddy named captain, I thought maybe Cookie would have been named captain. Do you get anymore money being captain?
