'13 | Origin I | Wed 5 Jun | NSW 14-6 QLD | ANZ

Favourite thread of the year...love watching it jam up once the NSW players start doing dumb things

QLD by as far as you can kick your top hat

Only chance is that 2/4 of slater/Cronk/JT/smith bring their mixed club form in to this game

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

sorry, you contradicted yourself, idiot.

QLD are the better team by a country mile, anything short of a flogging would be embarrassing for the great state of Queensderp.

Actually, I didn't. It's the players that will keep it tight, not Daley's coaching. We'll see the Blues try and execute plays Daley has coached into them that just won't work and they'll go back to doing what they always do; rely on penalties, grind out a set, hail mary 5th tackle kick into a corner towards Jennings or Morris, rinse and repeat.

We got dis 13+

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Anyone else think that NSW will smash QLD in the forwards?

Likely QLD backrow: Thaiday, Myles, Harrison. Then bench: McQueen, Teo, Parker, Gillett.

Both backrow and bench looking relatively poor compared to NSW imo. QLD depth in the forwards starting to run thin...

A team with average forwards and awesome backline vs. A team with awesome forwards and an average backline.

I know which team will be scoring more points.

 

[Doomednow]

Kurt Gidley to score 50 points.

Got dis.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Maloney + Pearce = Loss

Queensland by 4

Cronk and Thurston have not been setting the world on fire in recent weeks...

Players always lift for Origin. This has been happening for years.

Is McQueen being seriously considered? I'm seeing him in all these possible teams and he is f**king shit.

What's f**cking shit about him? Hits the line hard, doesn't miss tackles, 80 minute player, probably the biggest leaper in the game, can cover in the backs if needed

 

[BDR]

Oh look, a Souths fan overestimating the value of a Souths player. Colour me surprised

Which part did he get wrong? Im pretty confident in the ability of the QLD selectors to pick good players, they've done all right lately.

I'm not the one talking him up, the Queensland selectors have been doing that. He has been in Origin camps before. He is on their radar

 

[Rhino_NQ]

McQueen has been solid all year, hard worker and toiler. Wouldn't be disappointed if doesd get selected tonight. Just won't expect a massive impact when he comes on, just do his job and make tackles

 

[BDR]

I'm sure that with the side around him he would do okay, but he just really doesn't strike me as a player with the skills or the talent to play Origin. Maybe "f**king shit" was a bit overboard :lol: He is just a mediocre first grader in my humble opinion.

I would be delighted if he proved me wrong.

Alot of Queensland's forward choices are simply solid toilers who don't mess things up. Corey Parker, Matt Gillett, Ben Hannant, Jacob Lillyman etc. are all a bit like this. The opposite of this is Dave Taylor, all the talent in the world but no application.

Looking forward to Kert Gerdley sitting on the bench for 80 minutes.

2. Darius Boyd (Newcastle Knights)
3. Greg Inglis (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
4. Justin Hodges (Brisbane Broncos)
5. Brent Tate (North Queensland Cowboys)
6. Johnathan Thurston (North Queensland Cowboys)
7. Cooper Cronk (Melbourne Storm)
8. Matt Scott (North Queensland Cowboys)
9. Cameron Smith (c) (Melbourne Storm)
10. David Shillington (Canberra Raiders)
11. Nate Myles (Gold Coast Titans)
12. Sam Thaiday (Brisbane Broncos)
13. Ashley Harrison (Gold Coast Titans)
14. Corey Parker (Brisbane Broncos)

16. Ben Te’o (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
17. Chris McQueen (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
18. Daly Cherry-Evans (Manly Sea Eagles)
19. Josh Papalii (Canberra Raiders)
Justin O'Neill (Storm) is on standby.

Probably the worst forward pack in QLD colours for a couple of years. With the players we have out of form NSW should be embarrassed if they lose again.
