Does the potential Qld injury crisis give NSW a chance?

[ANTiLAG]

With the potential unavailability of Inglis and Hodges, not to mention Tate's absence - Qld could be caught short in the centres.

With the much daunted backline looking more fragile than it has in recent times, how much do you shorten the NSW odds...

Could the Blues be favourites?

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

lol?

 

[adamkungl]

bahaha. 5 in a row and trying to claim underdog status

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Queensland would need to lose Thurston, Lockyer, Slater for us to be favourites IMO.

 

[juanfarkall]

As long as R.Stuart is in charge of the Blues, Qld will be favorites

 

[Wato]

New South Wales are always the favorites remember Queensland are perennial underdogs. :roll:

To answer your question, QLD will still be favorites as the have the depth of Tonga and co. Perhaps Boyd may move to centre and a guy like Vidot may play. I am more interested in the condition of Lockyer, anyone know anything about his shoulder?

 

[Cliffhanger]

Hahahahahahaha.

Is this what it's like to be a 50uff$ fan?

 

[SET2JT]

You still have Tonga and Taylor in the centers.

I'm not sure Taylor would perform as effectively moving in from the wing.

Lockyer will be fine.

 

[Wato]

Lockyer will be fine.

Thanks saw him holding his shoulder but missed the end of the game. It would be a shame for him to miss origin after such a good career.

Throw in Cameron Smith too

and lol @ anyone who thinks QLD are underdogs

 

[ANTiLAG]

When is Tuquri due back?

 

[Ladmate]

The NSW selectors will screw it up.

Definately

 

[Silent Knight]

I have to listen to the same crap from Big Mal every year about how the Maroons are underdogs. Should only be a short while before he comes out and says it again.

 

[Uber]

It can't hurt our chances but we have definitely got a big task ahead of us. Though haven't they only lost Hodges? He didn't play SOO last year, QLD still won.

 

[adamkungl]

This. I'm almost certain I will have to restrain myself from burning down the NSWRL tomorrow night.

 

[Cliffhanger]

WTF? It's not getting named on Monday night?

Like there isn't any Manly and Titans players in contention.

Had Folau last year.

We do have pretty bad depth for the back 5. Compared to NSW anyhow.
