Cook for an origin bench spot

Mcinnes, Klemmer, James and Pearce out. Maloney can play number 7 and do it well. They should pick the best running 5/8th that we have. It’s probably out of Walker, Keary, Moylan and Green.

Merrin, Koroisau and Peachey in and NSW can have a real dig.

They need to stop picking the side on statistics alone. Origin is a completely different ball game.
No to Walker, Keary, Moylan and I have some doubts about Koroisau's form.

Personally, I believe McInnes has done enough to earn a spot. Cook and Korisau are not defensively ready at this stage.

However, if they decide to go with Cook, he needs to start. I am really surprised that Rabbitoh's fans would want Cook in the 14. We have seen first hand over the last two years that this idea was an absolute disaster.

Cook has smashed him in the stats this year in general and also last 4 times we have played you!

I read somewhere how his stats and assists and those kinds of things are better than Cam's thIs season but I can't remember where!

Like STID said a hooker like Wallace or Mcturtle will win you zilch against the Maroons!!!

It seems Blues fans want to lose again!

If they pick Cam for the Blues I'll be supporting QLD this year!!!!

I like cook,obviously, as ae is an ex dragon who wasn't recognised by the clubs coaching staff.

But the pros and cons of both he and Cam are closer than what you say.

Cook is more explosive, Cam is more in the trenches sort of guy, and heaven knows we don't have enough of those in our blues team.

I mean we have damn Sharon Woods!

Unfortunately they will probably go for Peats again.

Now as for supporting QLD if Cam is chosen, well that's a dummy spit.

Maybe save that if Sharon Woods and Klemmer are picked.
Or Hayne, Blake Ferguson, or Dugan!

Hmmmm, come to think of it, QLD are gonna win again because those will be in the damn team.

I guess with GI and Gagai in your team, you are one seventh QLD.

Lol, you need to get over your anti McInnes bias R20.

Damien's just been offered a part in the SWAN LAKE ballet!!!! Apparently he looks great in a tutu!
A dummy half needs more than just being a darter!

Cam Smith averages about 30 to 35 metres a game but sets up 100s of metres for his team-mates. He is unchallenged as the very best No.9!!

I think Klemmer deserves a bench spot!

Fergo playing well too!

In regards to Cook, I'd love to see him there and he does deserve to be at least in the frame but I can't see NSW going with him sadly. I think they'll go with McInnes or Peats again.

Same team then...same result
Going for Mcturtle at hooker who is like Peats will be same team same result as well!

Api or Cook could tear the Maroons to pieces! That's what we need!

Not just a hooker who just tackles!

Actually it was channel nine last week in regards to key players and it was Mcturtle v Cook and Cook had him covered in nearly every facet!

I'll be going for QLD then like I have in previous years when we pick the wrong side!

Gotta stop with average selections!

I'm wondering if QLD will be on a slide this year just going on the players that won't be there or are seemingly out of form?
