Holy shit I just realised that with Lomax playing SOO and with Simmonsons Injury as well plus Dunster Mia Tago is next in line his defence is not good not good at all..

Only other option is to move Samrani to centre and play Penisni or Russell on the wing...
That's what I'd do. Put Penisini on the wing.

TCT was up in arms about the possibility of BA being overlooked for Mal in Perf.
I think they were more up in arms about Mal being a bit like Madge. Tasted success of a team full of guns, but not having built a roster from scratch.

I think BA is the right guy for that, but not the right guy for Perth of they need a big personality. who can smile tell jokes and win everyone over with his charm. BA has all the charm of a brick.

BA is very used to batting off bad press and wearing the woes of a team on his shoulders.

Sam Burgess definitely not.

If Mal can attract huge name assistants who can run a club and coach a team (ie; do what BA can do) then he's the right guy. Bit of a bludge though, he gets to coach the greatest QLD sides ever, switches over to the Kangaroos and if he gets this gig, the highly paid assistants will do all the work.

Just on Origin.
Edwards, To’o, Lomax, Crighton, Mitchell, Moses and Cleary.

Just on that, and only that, we are genuinely unbeatable.

What makes Origin so great is that is a favourite is never a certainty.

And expect the unexpected

Queensland are exactly where they want to be underdogs at Lang Park.

I am never confident at Lang Park

Look I get the history but take my word for it. NSW will be so utterly dominant this series it will rewrite origin history.

I wonder if they will go Panthers on 1 wing and Barbarians on the other
