2017 Origin III - QLD 22-6 NSW @ Suncorp

[Clifferd]

Good move imo.

Defensively centre and five eight aren't that much different so he'll be used to that.

Being a running player he again will have no problem chiming in at centre

You'd argue Munster on debut in a decider filling a very important position is crazy but playing alongside a club combo spine would put his mind at ease

Both will be fine. Munster looks like Smith picking his mates.

Munster to me is the jack bird equivalent of qld. Both versatile players and can handle any position

at least you can say munster has been picked on the back of awesome club form. It's sad that that is a rarity in todays representative arena

Something both sides can agree on.

 

[Lebbo73]

Kaufusi in for Glasby and Granville in for Hunt. Make it happen and my confidence levels would skyrocket.

 

[King hit]

I just want the game over and done with asap. Can end the speculation and nerves and we can have quality round robin games during the weekend.

 

[Nealo 12]

If NSW play any players close to less than 100% they should expect another loss !

 

[THE CHAMP]

NSW should be worried. Gould was waffling on last night about how much better the blues side is than QLD. If he says QLD are out on their feet more than once during the game QLD are certainties.

 

[Knightmare]

I'd be interested to watch the second half of Game 1 back and hear if Gus said Qld were out on their feet at any point...

 

[GongPanther]

No Penrith players in so Qld as usual will gain win it in the last second of the 2nd half to win it by 2 or a draw which means Qld retains the Shield.

Fook em.

 

[isaiah]

Even us parochial Qld fans would have to say NSW had outplayed us so far. Does not count for anything if they cannot bring the mustard Wednesday

 

[big hit!]

Munster at 6 was the right choice. Morgan at 4...well we will see.

i haven't kept up with the info for this match so I'm unsure what side Morgan will be lining up on. He's a right side player for NQ with JT on the left. Any source if Walters will slot him in at left side #2 outside Munster or whether he'll flip Chambers back to the left again so Morgan can play/defend on the more familiar right side? the issue with that I suppose is Morgan would then be inside turnstile gagai and outside cronk with graham, maloney and hayne coming at them all game. chambers bulks up this side better. the other side of the coin is you'll have two guys starting their first match in Morgan and Munster defending alongside each other. could Pearce finally expose this?

likely:

ferguson-dugan-pearce-frizell(cordner) vs cooper-munster-morgan-holmes

bMoz-hayne-maloney-cordner(graham) vs gillett-cronk-chambers-gagai

with the added benefit that organisation at acting half and on both sides of the ruck will be completely in-sync.

frizell has been lame all series and picked up another knock in his last club match. both he and cordner haven't done much training with the squad so far in lead up to game 3. it's a variable that will end up back firing.

Lol. These arrogant merkins are massive favourites this and every other year for the past decade and are one of the most blessed sporting sides ever. Yet they insist on this bullshit every year. Next theyll try and convince us that grub Mcguire copped a heavy concussion and can now spell his own name.

 

[King hit]

Queensland should start making home and away episodes since they love the drama. Sick of the bullshit the hillbilly's come out with.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Stupid f**king queenslanders. You can fool us 24 times with the old 'a player got injured at training', routine but we won't be fooled the 25th time.

 

[beave]

Don't bullshit me mate that you won't be bullshited your so called bullshit '25 times'.......
