QLD side Game 2

Bull won't disappoint. Never really dropped in form just sort of been forgotten about over in kiwiland

Inglis at 5/8 - LOL.

He won the Clive Churchill medal in 2007 as a five-eighth in Melbourne's grand final win against Manly.

Now who's Laughing Out Loud :roll:

His form this year has been the best of his career IMO

Surprise that Hunt is not there as backup but it is the right call in my view anyway. Could easily play Matt Gillett at 5/8th if need be, as he has done for Brisbane some times. Thurston will run the show anyway.

Taylor better not drop the damn ball 5 times!

Gillett played 5/8 once for Brisbane in the 2011 prelim against Manly. He was found out horribly and is not a 5/8.

He won the Clive Churchill medal in 2007 as a five-eighth in Melbourne's grand final win against Manly.

Now who's Laughing Out Loud :roll:

Me still. He's not a 5/8. He's a Fullback. How much training do you think he's done at 5/8??

Offcourse he's best position is fullback and his second best position is centre. What I'm saying to you is that while Inglis playing five-eigth not completely the ideal situation- it's not completely laughable either. Remember he did reasonable long stints at Melbourne at five-eigth when they were trying to figure out where to put Inglis as Slater had the full-back position locked up.

I would probably guess though that if Inglis was to move to five-eigth. Thurston would be forced to take more of the workload in terms of the kicking game and play making.

It's a terrible situation for the team. Meninga has truly lost the plot if he thinks this is the solution and it will lose us the game. Quote me on that.

I take it you wanted Hunt on the bench. It's a risk- but Mal must have thought after game 1 that four forwards on the bench (particularly a specialist prop) was necessary. As I said in my earlier comments- Hunt's got nothing to do if Cameron Smith or Daly Cherry-Evans don't get injured.

 

[Bretto]

Hunt can still play through the middle if needed. He's got Hooker experience, he's defended in the middle for 90% of his career. He could also play a third play maker role and provide some real X-Factor.

But, I'm sure Mal knows what he's doing. Right?

 

[Bretto]

Well, I pretty much called it. DCE was a passenger and it cost us dearly. So did Gillett, Taylor and McQueen really.
