Your pack is a real worry.
The Broncos really struggled in that dept last season at various times. After that initial 20 min opening period where everyone is energised ect, they battled to really roll forward in a lot of games last season.
Even watching that charity shield game the other night I was looking at those forward packs (esp Souths) wondering how the Broncos will stack up against them physically
NSW to win Origin.
Lock that shit up 
wouldn't be surpised at all, infact I would be surprised if QLD is a pronounced series favourite again.
Not sure how focused Jonathon Thurston is at the moment and Price and Civonacieva can't keep driving that ship forever. Felt there were a few signs during last year's series to suggest the worm was starting to turn at least slightly in the BLUE direction.
I know everyone around here is excited and running around humping their furniture ect in anticipation of the upcoming NRL season but personally, I'll be making very few plays on this because imo it is an extremely difficult competition to bet.
The way the game is played nowadays / the way its officiated make it a real coin toss with most games hanging on a knife edge / exchanging tries before a frantic final few minutes where anything goes.
Once the season is a few rounds old, bookmakers are getting their lines very sharp nowadays imo. 
True
Lucky im not a odds maker
Yup, although Thurston hasn't been our problem..
But I do think NSW take this year. Dead rubber or not, NSW got it right game 3 and save for a few cases of individual brilliance from you brilliant pricks, could easily have snatched another game.
Price and F & F are another year older. Surely these pricks will have to slow down soon. Poore, Weyman, White aren't great, but they could do. Throw in TLL. Where's Aiden Tolman from? We can find a pack.
I can't remember the last blinder Lockyer played at rep level. He may not even go around this year.
Slater, Inglis and Falou are a major fucking headache, I'll concede that. Hodges mightn't be fit by Origin.
The gap is closing. They just need to sack the selectors and have a little bit of luck.
Read so many posts like this prior to every season. Dogs and + points don't guarantee +ve. You gotta bet dogs where dogs are the play and vice versa when favourites appeal.
My main point is that any play you do make in this stuff needs to be very strong in your own reasonings. Betting every game on the board or even most games on the slate each weekend will get you nowhere imo.

Sounds like every two-bit NRL capper from Bondi to Bunbury should just down-tools and tail you all season if that's your strike rate ?!
If you can win even 55% of your plays on totals over the course of this season I will issue a media release in your honour !
