[Nathan B]

At the end of 2004 Willie Mason was the best forward in the game, and last year was a write-off because of injury. Now everyone has forgotten about him.

Willie will have a huge year this year - an origin certainty (barring injury).

True. He has been out so long I had forgotten him.

Joey has said he might not play Origin this year.

 

[Daza_06]

the main question with the queensland team is on the halfback. I think Jonathan Thurston personally but the queenslanders have a lot more options than last year at halfback. They have Prince, Tim Smith and even Fien could be a chance. Thurston i think should be picked by last seasons form by who knows who is goin to show top form this yr.

Also the centres they have Tate, Inglis, Hodges, Bell and Tonga (Berrigan shouldnt be a centre as they have better options). Tonga is unknown as he didnt play many games last season. Bell is proven at club level. Tate has gone well in representative but most people take him as a winger. And Inglis the young gun will be there showin the NRL wat he is really bout. Hodges had a great season bak at the broncos and he will be looking to reclaim his spot.U also have those that dont the fullback spot like Slater in contention.

I think these are the two main positions that let them down last season. Now with this competition they will be playin to the best of their ability vying for that spot.

 

[RABK]

My QLD side would be...

1- Darren Lockyer
2- Ty Williams
3- Brent Tate
4- Willie Tonga
5- Billy Slater
6- Jonathan Thurston
7- Scott Prince
8- Petero Civoneceva
9- Cameron Smith
10- Steve Price
11- Carl Webb
12- David Stagg
13- Ashley Harrison

14- Ben Ross
15- Matt Bowen
16- Corey Parker
17- Dallas Johnson

QLD are really struggling for forwards atm.

 

[Glen]

If Dean Widders keeps up his great form from last year he really deserves a run off the bench

 

[lotti]

I would love to see Beaver play in game 1, I don't want round 11 to be his 300th game at Brookie.

 

[lucablight]

Red and Blue Knight is an asshat who talks too much. Don't take him too seriously.

Rich coming from you.

Asshat? What an insult. That really stung. :lol:

 

[lucablight]

Stop laughing at yourself clown.

 

[effnic]

Watmough will be there for sure.

 

[Garts]

I think Watmough is made for Origin, tough and wont take a backward step but there are lots of other quality backrowers and I am also biased :shock:

I sure hope Fitzgibbon is not picked, he is workhorse but so is Hindy and O'Donnell is also a worker with some mongrel who should also be selected. No room for Fitzy IMO!!!

 

[Roy]

Im a nsw man myself. An to be honnest i cant beleve how qld keep ****ing up bowen play him at wing then at hooker its **** stupid an pointless. That would be like us playing johns at fullback or in the centers. If i was to pick a qld side that would challenge nsw it would be.
