FORAN LOCKED IN AT MANLY! Origin II Shake-Up, Walsh’s QLD Role & Pressure Explodes at the Roosters

Kieran Foran is officially locked in at Manly — and the boys believe his rapid rise from retired player to head coach could be one of the stories of the season. Braith, Reni and Mase discuss what makes Foran such a natural leader, the transformation of the Sea Eagles under his watch, Luke Brooks and Jamal Fogarty’s form, Tom Trbojevic’s return, and whether Manly can genuinely challenge for a premiership.Then it is straight into the biggest State of Origin selection debates ahead of Game II. Should NSW reward Ethan Strange after his standout debut, or bring Mitchell Moses straight back into the halves alongside Nathan Cleary? The boys also debate James Tedesco’s involvement in attack, Dylan Edwards as an alternative at fullback, Stephen Crichton’s fitness, Casey McLean’s likely inclusion and why Cameron Murray must start for the Blues.Queensland are facing major calls of their own, with Patrick Carrigan unavailable and huge discussion around whether Reece Walsh could be unleashed from the bench. Sam Walker was outstanding in Game I, but can he reproduce it if the Blues apply early pressure in Melbourne? The boys break down exactly where the series could swing.The heat then turns to the Roosters after another disappointing performance against Melbourne. With their horror record against the Storm and Panthers continuing, the boys question the errors, discipline, Daly Cherry-Evans’ influence, Hugo Savala’s role and whether serious pressure is beginning to build on Trent Robinson. Plus, weekly tips, Broncos discussion, the Bulldogs–Eels rivalry clash, broadcast rights chat and the Unibet specials.Subscribe to the show and drop your Origin II NSW and Queensland changes in the comments.00:00 Welcome Back, Origin Emotions & Weekly Check-In03:12 Kieran Foran’s Manly Deal & Sea Eagles Premiership Chances11:44 Complete Player of the Week: Dylan Edwards13:21 NSW Origin II Selections: Strange vs Moses, Tedesco, Crichton & Cameron Murray29:41 Queensland Changes: Carrigan Replacement, Reece Walsh & Sam Walker’s Big Test34:23 Roosters Under Pressure: Storm Loss, DCE, Hugo Savala & Trent Robinson43:49 Quick Fire: Broncos, Premiership Threats, Origin II & TV Rights Debate49:19 Round Preview & Weekly Tips1:00:23 Bulldogs vs Eels Rivalry, Galvin Pressure & Monday Night ClashSOCIALS:Follow the Boys on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/braith_anastahttps://www.instagram.com/renimaituahttps://www.instagram.com/mace_theace🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/btfu/id1804246088
