Obviously he wouldn't have that easy of a time against QLD but he's still miles ahead of any other option we have at #6 in attack, and as for defense. We're picking five eighths based on defense? What's the point of only letting in 1 or 2 tries if we're so hopeless with the ball that we can't score 2 or 3 ourselves.
Taking into account both his strengths and weaknesses, Soward is clearly our best option.
The only thing Soward would bring is his kicking game.
Mullen, Gidley, Keating, even Sutton would be better Origin players than Soward. Campese should be a walkup start if he was fit, and obviously Carney if he wasn't f**ked in the head. Even fat Feleti plays well in big games.
The Blues have a lot of centre options. Maybe they should only play with 1 half and use Hayne as a playmaker with Lyon at 6.
