2011 QLD Team

[Mr Fourex]

My opinion has nothing to do with forgetting Ashley Harrison's capabilities.

My reason for wanting Harrison to come off the bench is that he has a greater range of positions he can play and I think Myles in the front line for the first 1/4 is the way to go.

Pretty much bang on the general perception of what the team will be.

 

[Didgi]

Hodges hobbling off the field. Looks like Tonga might have himself a few more origin jumpers.

 

[Big Pete]

Which isn't exactly a bad thing, I rate Tonga more as a defender and I question whether Hodges style is really suited to Origin.

Bottom line is it never happened

So no-one, INCLUDING your good self can say for sure.

Pointless argument........

So inconsistent.

 

[Dazzat]

Does anyone know how far Inglis is away? According to a few sources on the web he isn't due back for another few weeks.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Lockyer looked in severe pain.

Having said that NSW would kill for someone like Cooper Cronk as a 'back up' half...

Inglis seems to think he will play Origin 1. Hodges looks certain to miss it. Who would partner Tonga in the centres if they are both out?

 

[RABK]

No Inglis, Hodges, Lockyer?

 

[Big Pete]

I'd imagine...

2. Daniel Vidot
3. Darius Boyd
4. Willie Tonga
5. Jharal Yow Yeh

Would be the backline

Halves would be

Johnathan Thurston/Cooper Cronk

and Barba would come off the bench.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Vidot from NSW Cup to Origin. That would be a huge story!

 

[Mr Fourex]

So inconsistent.

What?

 

[Big Pete]

Vidot from NSW Cup to Origin. That would be a huge story!

Wouldn't be the first time Meninga has made that type of selection.

 

[StormisBrewing]

Vidot has actually been quite solid this season, despite a couple easy dropped balls in the early rounds (which you would have to attribute to attitude problems rather than skill).

While he is slightly down on form this year, Furner dropping him to the QCup is an absolute joke. He would make a good fill in if required.

 

[Big Pete]

I actually thought Vidot deserved a stint...but so did about 3-5 players.

 

[andrew057]

Neville Costigan a big chance of a comeback this weekend. If he shows any semblance of form he should be picked imo.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Over Parker?

No.......

 

[andrew057]

Oh man if Vidot plays I think Ill cry.

 

[andrew057]

Over Parker?

No.......

Can Parker play prop?

No.........
