Laurie Daley 1994 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Danny Buderus 2005 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Jake Trbojevic 2024 - QLD win game 1 - NSW come back win decider at Suncorp.

Only three times have we won a decider in QLD.

Three legendary NSW captains, immortality.

Don't forget the role of Connor Watson.

So we load up on plodders in game 1 but once we cleared them out we comfortably won the series. Hogesco, Hudson Dumb and Swahili should all have their papers stamped.

Billy Slater does not get Origin.

Billy Slater is still a Queenslander

To be fair Tedesco and Suualii were only there due to injuries and Suualii has literally had his papers stamped, you also forgot the failure we had at halfback in game 1.

I absolutely agree that Api should have been there. I heard a counter argument saying that maybe Api is too creative which will take away from the Blues power game. I can kinda live with that but would prefer Api playing.
Jake’s off field stuff must really have an effect on the team and the boys seem to love him.
Also, someone is always going to end up with limited minutes, not the worst ploy in the world to have that player be a starter.

I think it’s been discussed as nauseam that where Robson has a massive advantage is defensively. Api is a much craftier dummy half but I think that craftiness tends to not always translate in origin just like the ball playing lock doesn’t have the same effect in origin but defence is the one thing that definitely carries over. I think you also have to remember NSW went into game 1 without a utility so the dummy half needed to play 80 which Rosbon does every week whereas Api doesn’t always play 80 minutes at club level so big ask to expect him to do so at origin level

Think the truth around the Edwards/Tedesco debate is somewhere in the middle of what both sides are saying. I know Edwards got MOTM but he didn't do a lot in the first half and isn't really a threat in the opposition 20. His workrate is insane but. I think he's probably around a 10% improvement on Tedesco.

Just on the Freddy stuff - if he is still coach NSW lose again, no question. I mean look at this:
