Lee could be considered at left centre for Qld I reckon. He's played a lot of time there.

I think Hunt and Oates would do well. Hunt is solid and I'd always go for solid centre over someone flashy in Origin. Would love to see him get a run but at the same time I want him to not miss a game for us.

Michael Ennis just said Mitchell Pearce is ruled out of NSW with a groin injury.

First I've heard of this?

He's been carrying a bit of a groin injury according to Brown. Regardless of whether it has been aggravated or not, Brown said the rest during Origin would help him out.
Pearce doesn't seem to want the Origin spot.

Feel a bit sad for him. Wasnt the best time to have a NSW origin career and I think he's ripe for it at the moment. Best NSW or QLD half right now. Maybe he can leapfrog SOO and get himself a Roos jersey.

That would be legendary!! Fully deserved on form at the moment!!!

Leave him in the nrl. Go and ruin Clearys confidence instead.

NSW halves dropping like flies.
Interesting choice of halves as well. I've got to wonder about N.S.W kicking game with Cleary and Walker. Let's hope the forwards can make the mtrs because our halves have an very ordinary long kicking game.

Being a QLDer, I’m happy Pearce wasn’t picked. Everyone though Cleary would get in, partly due to last year. What happens if NSW lose game 1 and Pearce’s form continues? Who knows.

Inexperienced bench, halfback out of form, halves with an average kicking game, dinosaur at right centre I'm thinking QLD to win at Suncorp.

Lets hope no injuries.

Morris is only 18 months older than the bloke he'll be marking in Will Chambers and outperforming Chambers in every statistical category as well so not sure how that's relevant. I mean Qld have a halfback playing centre and marking Latrell Mitchell, a halfback who hasn't played in like 2 months, an out of form halfback playing hooker, and friggen Mbye and Napa on the bench.

Hope you're right. They seems to grow another leg when they put on a Maroon jersey.

I reckon he's the most in form half for sure

Anything is possible. I think Pearce would be more favoured if more of the general public call for his inclusion. A NSW loss might see that.

Congrats to Ponga and Klemmer for their selection and to Tim Glasby for being named 18 man for the Maroons.

The groin niggle for Pearce might be a blessing in disguise for us - I'm sure he'd like to run around for the Blues and gain some redemption for the years he came up against probably the best spine of all time.

I also think he has a driving passion to lead this Knights side deep into the finals this year (I know we have to make it yet but that passion is already evident) and I'm happy that we don't have to see him put his body through the punishment that is SoO, as much as I believe he has earnt the right.

I'd also selfishly prefer that for Ponga, Klemmer and Glasby (if he gets a run through the series) but I also understand that the standard they have been delivering for the Knights rightly earns them these selection honours and it is what many players aspire to...it's the double edged sword of finally having quality players in our ranks again

It’s been a while since we’ve had more than 1 important players out of our side for rep duties as well as being in a position that winning or losing games makes a difference to our season.
Not user to it.
As long as we get through it with no injuries, I’ll be happy.
