Cronk injury

[Meth]

Who replaces him?

 

[stormbati]

Can't be serious...

:lol:

Cherry-Evans got a crash course on how hard it is to create at Origin level.

DCE with Milford on the bench

 

[Meth]

I don't mean in the starting 13

I mean in the 17

 

[Sime_11]

I personally think Dave taylor will be back into origin in game 2

 

[lockyno1]

Milford should come in. Taylor is hopeless.

Then clarify that better in the OP.

Dave Taylor has to be a front runner, but I very much doubt DCE will be the only bench player replaced. Papalli was a plodder out there.

 

[hellteam]

If Thurston or DCE gets injured before game 2 could be interesting. Not much depth there. They'd prob go Inglis at 5/8 I reckon

 

[Shorty]

Milford should come in.

The logical thing would be to put another forward there considering its where we have been outplayed before.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Disagree with the Milford suggestions. We literally have no use for him in the side. We haven't persisted with DCE on the bench for this long for no reason. Give him 3 weeks to train his arse off in the halfback role then lets see how he goes.

 

[stormbati]

Have to admit DCE was thrown in the deep end. A few weeks as confirmed halfback he'll be much better prepared. Only thing for QLD is DCE and Thurston are very similar players and may have underestimated Cronk.

 

[Shorty]

I think Cronk is great halfback but DCE will shine and was already starting to gel with Thurston toward the end of the game.

 

[aussie_q_factor]

Need more go forward either from the starting line up or the bench. Hannant has been there before and know what it takes to perform at this level.

How does he get 3 weeks to train his arse off in the half back role...could you explain that...considering the Maroons don't have him for 3 weeks :crazy:

You cannot count on Taylor to perform, it's a huge risk in a must win game and I would not pick him if he was the only guy left.

Need another forward who can reliably make metres up the field when Scott is off.

Agreed, can't see him playing well in a must win game in Sydney. The forwards were good tonight, don't think we need any changes. Maybe Teo starting instead of Gillett but that's it

 

[no name]

Thaiday will be right for the next game.

 

[hellteam]

Actually cancel that we will need a change. Shillington in

You're right, Thaiday only change in for Cronk
