Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim.
Chapter 2: What are the concerns about player injuries in State of Origin?
I don't know if there's any link between State of Origin and that hammy for Rory Lobb, but how reluctant are clubs going to be to allow their players to play State of Origin? I doubt we'll see it in its true form, State of Origin. Be a shortened sort of... It'll be a 15-minute quarter.
Chapter 3: How has the format of State of Origin changed over time?
I agree with you on that. I don't think it'll be anywhere near a game.
Yeah, that was a school of thought. Has Hogan been the same player? Has Taylor been? Has Archie?
Chapter 4: What are the implications of player availability for State of Origin?
There's still carnage everywhere.
Dangerfield's just come back from his... Should have stopped it when he said, I don't know.
Well, you're hearing that. That's when he should have stopped.
Chapter 5: How do injuries impact the performance of key players?
Not for the first time.
Corn should have stopped it. I don't know. I played that to you during the break. Now, do you feel in any way responsible for some of those injuries? I don't feel in any way responsible.
What about the game itself? For the West Australian team.
Chapter 6: What criticisms have been made regarding the State of Origin format?
I've got no idea what they did in the process of picking their team. They're origin deniers. They come out. That's why origin left our shores.
Those two are origin deniers.
Well, they are.
Korn and King are origin deniers.
Well, this is what happens. This is why State of Origin died because the clubs started backgrounding. I'm not saying they got backgrounded, but the media and the media run the narrative that, oh, it's no good for the clubs and the club. Will they let their players play? Tim, 21 of Victoria's players have played every single game or missed a single game. Sorry, just repeat.
21 of the players for Victoria. Of the 25?

Chapter 7: Why do some believe clubs are against player participation in State of Origin?
Five. Yeah. Have played every single game or missed a single game like Jack Gunston. Right. And of those players, this is how bad it's been for them. Bontempelli's the third highest rated player. Dacos is the second highest rated player.
Chapter 8: What changes are being proposed for future State of Origin games?
Butters is first. Max Gawne's fifth. Max Holmes, eighth. Bailey Smith, tenth. Ben King's leading the goal kicker. Gunston's second. I mean, honestly, it's really affected those blokes. I mean, that's why they won't let him play again because their form dropped off. They can't find the footy. They're dominating the competition. Keep going. You're just warming up. And Dangerfield.
Well, I reckon Paddy Dangerfield's old enough to make his own decision on when he will and won't play. And if he wants to put his season, home and away season, in jeopardy, that's not up to you two. That's up to him. I think he's earned the right to make that decision. If he's compromised himself because he's had some soft tissue injuries ā then so be it.
We can't try and legislate a game where everyone comes out of it absolutely 100% injury-free. We're not playing tiddlywinks because the criticism of State of Origin is ā I'm not sure if these two had this conversation, but it was, oh, it'll come back, but no one will take it serious. And now we take it serious.
Oh, no, it's too serious. Do you think there's a whispering campaign that's ā been embarked upon out there in football circles with coaches and clubs?
I don't know. That you don't know about? I get a bit protective of it. McCluggage has had soft tissue. Toby? How many games has Toby missed?
Seven from seven. And he was one that they were concerned about because he went in under done. Seven from seven. And played more game time than what he... And got 10 coaches votes.
And wouldn't go off the ground. In his seventh game. Was best on ground on the weekend. Doesn't seem to have hurt him too much. Sinclair, Serong played every game. Bontz played every game. Merritt played every game. Butters every game. Gorn, Ash, Hardwick, Holmes... Gunson missed one, but he's leading the second in the goal kicking. Battle, Collins, Smith, King, Dangerfield.
Sherry even played every game except the three he got suspended. I should blame State of Origin for that. And I'm sure that you could blame Noah Anderson's appendix who just sat there going, I'm not going to pop until he plays State of Origin and then I'll pop. Come on. Just wake up yourselves, you blokes.
Yeah.
