Ask Me Anything: Origin 3, Best Era of Footy, Dark Horses and Much More
Q: Why aren't you filthy at Billy for naming an alphabetical squad like you were Loz, and is there a need to kick up a stink about it given both sides do it?
The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of a consistent squad announcement process, arguing that naming a fixed side (1-19) would spark conversation and allow fans to discuss and compare without constant changes.
