2013 QLD Origin Side

Maranta in for Boyd?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

LOL

Maranta's probably the worst player in the comp IMHO.

 

[clipser]

Mitchell Pearce has that title sown up.

Gidley?

The difference between NSW and Queensland is that the roaches have tried to generate points through their forward pack. Queensland rely on their forwards to create the space for their halves and backs to weave their magic.

It is a completely different mindset.

With this in mind it is understandable why a NSWelshman would snigger at someone like J. Lillyman getting picked this year, yet us Queenslanders will know he will do his job in solid fashion as he always has. Our props have a very specific job, and it is very much a team effort with four large bodies required to get it done. I see no reason why Meninga won't rely on Lillyman again this year given Hannant's injury, and perhaps drafting M. Kennedy into the system.

No, they have the same belief but they keep picking halves that aren't capable of play making.
And they've done it again, shut down Farah and Hayne and they're toothless.

Papalii and DCE both in Brisbane today. Could mean nothing. Could be 18th/19th men. Could be visiting family.

 

[ek999]

Hard to read anything into it when both sides have a bye this week anyway

Does anyone know what time today they name their team?

 

[Son of Minto]

Journos on twitter reporting that Qld will name a 19 man squad. Papalii will be in the squad, O'Neill on standby for Boyd

 

[ek999]

Michael Carayannis ‏@MCarayannis 11m Queensland will name a 19 man squad with Justin O'Neill on standby for Darius Boyd. Cherry-Evans included with McQueen and Papalii.

 

[Hench]

Justin O'Neil? :roll:

I don't understand the DCE selection. We should be picking another forward on the bench as it gives us an advantage over the Blues with Gidley.

I'm not a fan of Lillyman but if he's the next prop on the list then he's in. You don't replace an injured prop with a 2nd rower.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Didn't Cronk get put on report this weekend? If so wouldn't DCE be in the side as a backup for Cronk?

DCE is 18th man

 

[Hench]

That makes more sense.

Cronk/Shillo not charged

Wow that's a break from tradition. Usually the judiciary manages to suspend at least one key Queenslander before the first game.

Cronk ... grabbed a leg and followed the movement of the player as Proctor drove his torso down.

Shillington ... the attacking player fell into the tackle.

 

[mongoose]

I haven't seen much of Gillett this season but surely Papali is better than Gillett

Why would you break up the Melbourne spine? Inglis is a great fullback, but let's not forget he's broken the Queensland try scoring record, and played most of his great games at left centre.

Then you cant have an opinion.
