Hodkinson was terrible. Bring back Pearce.

Hodkinson had an awful game. His field kicking was straight to a Queenslander. No penetration in attack. NSW won narrowly. Hayne won the game for NSW despite Hodkinson's woeful performance.

It is time to forgive and forget Mitchell Pearce's "snatch and grab" night out. He is the superior scrum half in NSW. He needs to be back for Game 2.

As a Queensland supporter, I hope you're right.

Your peddling of Casty and Tompkins is not completely unfounded, but has very tenuous links to reality.

The above post has confirmed your ticket is now permanently stamped as:

"LUNATIC: southwalesrabbitoh class."

People seem to have been mesmerised by this one off NSW win in Queensland. They seem to ignore the fact that Johnathan Thurston played the worst game of his career last night. JT will not perform that badly next game. He will turn on a blinder to make up for last night.

But Hodkinson's "Let me kick to a Queenslander" game is inherent in the merkin. He will do it again next game and Queensland will win handsomely in Sydney.

Perhaps then readers of my analysis will accept my revelation that Pearce is the solution. Unfortunately, if Hodkinson is dropped, super winger Daniel Tupou may have to be replaced by Paddy Richards in order for NSW to have a goal kicker. That will be the price of winning game 3.

If you think Pearce is the solution then last night must have been the first origin game you've ever seen.

Seriously, there's no point in debating this with you. The proof has been layed out for years that Pearce isn't able to perform with any consistency at origin level.

Hopefully Pearce never plays Origin again, there is a reason he has never won a series. He is useless on the Origin stage.

Stamp Pearce's papers now "Never to play for NSW ever again"

If he was terrible which he wasn't he was still better than in any origin game Passion Fingers Pearce has played.

As a Queenslander I hope you pick hodkinson again. He was a complete passenger. Hayne played the role of halfback, 5\8 and fullback. Unfortunately for us he was dominant in all 3 positions.

A winning passenger. Played better than Thurston who was the real passenger last night

Hokko played his first game of origin in queensland. doesn't get any tougher than that. granted he didn't have the best game last night, he still played solidly enough to help contribute to NSW winning.

remember Pearce has had 12 chances yet still keeps dishing up the same garbage, (3 win from 12 games.....) your gonna drop Hokko after his first origin game which any player will tell you is always the hardest origin game. if he played ordinary in his first game, cant wait to see what he will do in another Origin game.

No player will be dropped after that performance last night. Bird will come in for someone and injury and suspension may force some changes but no one will be flat out dropped, especially not the halves.

Worst thread ever.
