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

Same team for NSW but Reynolds drops off for Grant. The extra grunt in that shit pot they call Brisbane will be needed.

Souths fans are really having a go at ferguson? He actually played well. Merritt wouldn't have done any better

 

[tumbidragon]

LOL@ Baz opening bottles with his mouth and handing them to players.

 

[Masoe_eats_babies]

He's the form five eighth of the comp dickhead. And he is big and strong enough to be part of the backrow rotation if necessary, unlike J Reynolds who was literally a passenger.

 

[blaza88z]

it would be rather devastating if the blues went to Suncorp and got smashed after giving it absolutely everything in the first game and holding on to win

 

[ggmu]

Lol anyone just see Barrett cracking open beers with his teeth lol

 

[Noa]

BunniesMan at his idiotic best :lol:

Still love the ol' chuckle at the idea of Sutton playing Origin.

He would have carved QLD up tonight with his running game.

Only a turnip, Daley and Fulton would disagree.

 

[herbert henry1908]

IMO you don't need a utility like Reynolds.

He was the wrong call from Daley.

Personally I'd prefer grant in there , but Sutton would have played minutes tonight and taken pressure off the other forwards.

If they pick Sutton or Merrit, it's a distinct possibility

 

[super_coach]

Reynolds was a dumb selection,he can play,but Grant or Woods would have been a better selection given the way origin game is played and if you were worried about a injury in the backline, than Sutton covered the forwards and the backs.

 

[herbert henry1908]

But if we do need cover in the halves or hooker, we have it. It's killed us before. Just playing the same role that Gidley has, but they have learnt the lesson that they don't actually have to get onto the field if not required.

Sutton could have covered halves and one of the halves to hooker.


Reynolds is only going to play if there's an injury.

Sutton would have played minutes no matter what.

Queensland don't feel the need for a hooker backup.

You lose such an incremental player, you've pretty much lost anyway.

I don't know about that. The majority of our forward pack is used to playing 60-80mins week to week. With the rotation they had, most got a good 50mins playing time, which probably helped us a lot with consistency on the field. We have a limited amount of interchanges that we can use, and thus there can only be so many minutes that can go around.

 

[Ozzy]

Josh Reynolds got $30,000 for this game and he won't have to spend any of it getting his jersey washed.

And how much time do you think Sutton would have played?

 

[Haffa]

Hayne just shut up a few haters.

 

[The.X.Factor9]

If they're going to replace Reynolds I hope they choose a front rower; I really hope they don't choose Gidley or Sutton.

 

[redvscotty]

Busting open bottle with teeth shows the true grit of NSW. Thaiday usually squeezes stubbies between his tits to crack open beers.

They have used utilities off the bench before. You need that cover in the halves, and I am sure that they will have DCE on the bench next game, they could have used him tonight to replace Thurston.
