GI must have the #1 jersey in game 3.

[BunniesMan]

Queensland needs to start their rebuild. No sane person can imagine Billy Slater being fullback for another winning Origin team. They have no x factor from one of the most important positions on the field. He is neither strong nor fast, and in Origin you need to be at least one of them, preferably both. GI is both.

DCE at 7. GI at 1. They should give them game 3 to practice for a competitive series in 2015.

If I was Meninga I'd have known the show was over after 2013 and I'd have started the rebuild at the start of this series.

2 tries in 160 minutes isn't good enough. Their spine is too old in its present state.

Why would you even want your club players playing in a dead rubber? If anything you'd want them to be dropped.

I'm hoping Mcqueen and Teo get dropped but I know there is no realistic chance GI will be dropped so I want him playing where he should be playing. Taking off my Blues hat and putting on my rugby league fans hat GI at fullback is the right thing to do.

 

[Swarzey]

Inglis is such a f**king sook. Doesn't get what he wants in the fullback position and plays like complete shit :lol:

Wouldn't be an issue if he just sucked it up and allowed Slater to play out his rep career in the jumper that he made his, not through consequence but performance.

DCE was shit tonight i know he was injured but he blew at least two tries with selfish plays and wasnt patient enough, id 100% expect Cronk to resume position

 

[Kurt Angle]

GI doesn't need to be eased into the fullback spot.

Evans needs to be eased into halfback.

Next years they'll need to ease in a hooker, and 2016 will need to introduce a new 5/8.

GI will hop into fullback the very minute Slater is no use.

 

[Glen]

Inglis wasn't particularly interested in doing anything other than being a grub. Slater is past it but he deserves to see out the series then get a tap on the shoulder

No, he has to continue to play, with the rest of the spine around him, until he learns.

Replace the entire spine at once, and you won't win for 3 or 4 series.

They need generational rebuild. Their hooker is 31. Their fullback is 31. Their 5/8 is 31. Cronk is 31 in a few months. Are they going to wait for all 4 of them to retire at once and blood an entire spine at once?

They should stick with DCE. He needs more time. Cam Smith can still do his role for years to come so he should be there to guide the transition. And there is no 5/8 good enough to take Thurstons spot so he's got it for foreseeable future. But Cronk and Slater should make way now. Not necessarily out of the team but Cronk can be the #14 and Slater on the wing.

Slater is already no use. He made metres in the 1st game when defenders fell over. In both games he has added absolutely nothing in terms of bending the line or breaking it or creating something from nothing. He's not strong and he's not fast by origin standards. He doesn't have enough in 2014 to be origin fullback.

GI will be too old soon.

Better find his replacement rather than persisting with him, especially considering how fat and uninterested he has looked in the last two games.

He contributed to the only 2 tries they scored. He has done no worse than any of their spine players or outside backs. He was mostly contained by excellent defense and the fact that he has to play in a corridor which is not his natural role anymore. It would be much harder to contain him as a roaming fullback.

 

[Jason Maher]

Oh f**k off BM. Just enjoy the win.

BM goes for Queensland, like a lot of Souths fans because their hacks don't get picked for NSW...I think...they change their stances on a daily basis.

 

[t-ba]

It's no coincidence that such a large Souths contingent has finally infected Souths with their losingness.

Cut out the cancer now.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

losingness?

 

[Swarzey]

I approve of the word given it's bashing Souffs.

Carry on.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Wont be surprised if there is 6 Penrith players in the next Origin just to f**k us.

You're not a Queenslander are you?

 

[lockyno1]

Sai it after game 1, best thing for Qld is losing if it means we FINALLY put Inglis at fullback. Slater is being picked on what he did 3 years ago!
