Well, QLD have a weakness. Dane Gagai should be targeted by our kicking game and pounded each and every time he attempts to return the ball. There should not be a run he makes where he gains any territory. None. He's a very poor defender as well so plenty must be aimed down his side. Surely Laurie knows this and it will be a huge part of the game strategy.

I hope Fergo is on his game in defence. He can make some very poor reads. I fear he'll be worked over very easily.

I wonder if there is anyone on this forum (besides queenslanders) who thinks that walker should have been selected?

If there is can you tell me why? Very f**king confused by his selection.

I don't but I can see an argument for it along the lines that he has all the attributes of a great utility, is fast and strong, can play in the halves if someone gets injured, could just about cover any position. In the final 20 when everyone is tired I can see a guy like walker coming on and making some strong runs. All very hopeful though as he certainly doesn't deserve to be picked on form.

Moylan has made 827m in 7 games. Coote 841m in 11

Fair to say Moylan is the better runner of the footy

Like i said before, theres really only a split hair between them.

Moylan is as good as Coote at fullback but more creative and could cover other positions better.

The only dumb decision in this side is Reynolds not being named captain.

Walker I think is good enough as a center to make Origin. But form should play a big role in making your debut in Origin. He hasnt done that this year at all

Queensland will have Gillett patrolling the right side. Probably the best cover defender in the competition right now. Problem solved.

Im just happy to see us look like we want to score points.

Moylan, Maliney and Reynolds suggests we might try to attack for a change. Gallen and Bird will have no idea what their roles are though. If they aren't taking hitups in the opposition 20. What exactly do they do?

It's pretty sad when you're hoping for one of your own Knights players to fail.
How did it go for you last year hoping Dane would fail? 52 - 6
Did you cry yourself to sleep?
Dane will rise to the occasion yet again.
It's a real shame he plays with a bunch of nuffies every week when guys like Chambers, Nielsen, O'Neil are fortunate to play in such good teams.
Chuck them all in a Knights jersey and their names wouldn't even be mention for origin.

lol, brings up game 3 last year in a discussion about Dane Gagai... vintage qlderp deflection. What he said was spot on, Gagai will and should be targeted big time in defence.

Just like how they try to target him last year?
Daley's tactic was kick to Boyd's wing much as possible in game 3 last year.
Daley knows Dane is dangerous in kick returns.
Is when Dane takes one out hit ups he struggles and gets pushed back.
But with Oates in the team hopefully he shouldn't need to take too many of those.
