NSW has an unchanged team. I hope it works out. They have been better for 1 1/2 games. Surely they can do it.

 

[Timmah]

QLD name Hunt & Munster as the Boyd & Thurston replacements. Walters confirms Hunt will take Morgan's place on the bench, so expect Munster in centres and Morgan at 5/8th

 

[Light Reflections]

Hunt... what a joke.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Hunt should still perform well, but no way does he deserve to be there ahead of DCE on current form.

 

[stormbati]

Too many ex Broncos on the selection panel. DCE is the best option available and as a NSW fan I'm glad they chose Hunt.

 

[The_Shield]

This bias to the Broncos is getting ridiculous. First they take Boyd over Slater, now it's Hunt over DCE. Hunt has done nothing to deserve getting in the team. Get those Broncos off the selectors panel

 

[no name]

I was never really sure about the whole 'Qld players hate DCE' thing.
I guess this confirms it as true.
Hunt is there because of politics, not performance.

 

[Canard]

Im trying to mount a defence to the Hunt selection.

I've got nothing. That's indefensible.

 

[mozza91]

Pearce and Hunt. Does Origin 3 have a special needs theme?

 

[Timmah]

Intrust Super Cup to State of Origin inside a month.

Incredible.

 

[Knightmare]

Hunt v Pearce?

 

[Incorrect]

Ben Hunt must feel like the luckiest mo-fo on the planet - first he signs a 1.2 million dollar a year deal for 5 years with the Dragons, and now he'll pocket 30K next week playing Origin, 2 weeks ago he was playing reserve grade! The merkin is falling ass backwards in to money this year!

No, no.

Walters said there is no issue in a presser, so that has to be true.....right?

Lol, Lockyer says that DCE can play himself into the team a big game against the Warriors.

He is best on ground when Hunt plays half for Brisbane and gets caned by 30 points.

Stop with the bullshit Qld. Its personal with DCE.

 

[Snoop]

I feel for the Panthers. DCE is going to take his non-selection frustration out on them.

 

[blaza88z]

I have a problem with Morgan starting in the halves and Hunt being the utility, Morgan is the better utility who can cover more positions for mine, when I seen the Hunt selection I just assumed he would be in the halves

 

[Incorrect]

No, no.

Stop with the bullshit Qld. Its personal with DCE.

I heard that he tried to convince them to change the QLD victory song to something with actual words rather than just "aye aye yippy yippy aye, aye aye yippy yippy aye" but it didn't go down too well.... When he suggested a song that DIDN'T have banjo, that was the last straw... exiled forever...

 

[Clifferd]

Lol love how Kevvy is tryin to brush off the everyone in camp hates DCE rumour. His selection of Ben Hunt certainly doesn't support his case

DCE shits all over Hunt by quite some margin, especially this year

DCE should be starting with Cronk.

Don't, a win against a depleted Sea Eagles side might have gotten Griffin a 10 year extension. DCE putting in a MOTM with 5 try assists and a few himself will put Griffins head on the chopping block again.
