2017 Origin I - QLD 4-28 NSW @ Suncorp

[OzDragon]

Dugan might not even be back from injury for game 1. Who'd go in his spot?

 

[GongPanther]

Paul Vaughn is a surprise omisson.

Birdy is capable then they'd put Moylan on the bench id imagine

 

[OzDragon]

It'd be a farkin disgrace to lose to a team coached by Walters.

What - Like last year? lol

Good chance with Pearce at half and Hayne on the centres.

Vaughan is hard done by. Not even in the extended squad. I guess Qld picking Lillyman and Myles offsets that quite well.

They didn't mention the reserves on Fox 2. Moylan in reserves must be a smokie.They'll bring him into the squad in case anything happens to Teddy,Maloney or Pierce. He is too good to be on reserve listing.

Moylan was listed at 18 on the website, so defs on stand by incase anything happens to the halves or fullback, then of course if Dugan isn't right then JB slots in then Moylan plays the utility

I'm sure (or optimistically hopeful) that Moylan gets some game time.Depend on how NSW are faring. But overall,it's a very experience side that will give the Qld'ers a big run for their money.

You look at the 2 sides and you go f**k! NSW are a huge chance.

Then you look again and see 7. Mitchell Pearce and you just go f**k.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Teams are irrelevant. NSW no chance at Suncorp

 

[ed-grimley]

Yep. The backline should be
1. Slater
2. Boyd
3. Chambers
4. Gagai
5. Holmes

Holmes must be better than Oates any day.

 

[Stephen 'Stevo' Stevenson]

Holmes must be better than Oates any day.

At what exactly?

Again?

 

[OVP]

hahahah Guerra hahaha

NSW by 15

 

[Rabbits20]

On paper that QLD team isn't impressive, the pack especially. On paper doesn't mean a lot for QLD though, still that has to be the worst side they have named in looong time.

Their starting props aren't as good as what the Blues have.

Jarrod Wallace should be on the bench over Lillyman too.

 

[TheDMC]

Slater must be spewing. Not so much about being left out, but hearing Walters justify it as if its a favor to him:

He was very close, mate. [But] I think it's a bit unfair on Billy to put him under so much pressure in game one of a series," Walters said

"Everyone expected him to come out and change the world. We've relieved him of those duties and I know Darius will get the job done for us.

Grow some balls and say it as it is..simply no place for Slater at the moment as Darius is the incumbent and his representative form the past year or so has been exceptional (punchable face and all).

f**king this.

Skater clearly wants to play. He's talking like they're doing him a favour ffs

Just need to find a pooch and put it in a yellow dress and voila- Matty Moylan come on down!

 

[mxlegend99]

I think NSW will be relying on a big backline to carry their soft forwards. Too bad Pearce will only play to Woods and Jackson while Hayne and Dugan catch a cold.

Take the spines out and NSW have the edge. Add fullback and 5/8th in its pretty even. Add hooker and half... Queensland win in a landslide.

 

[Spot On]

There's a very good reason why QLD have not chosen Gags in the centres yet.

A little part of the game called 'defence'.
