No props on the bench, thanks Tim Sheens

Tim Sheens? The squad was picked by Craig Wing.

That said, I agree with you, no way you can go into Origin without 1 if not 2 specialist props on the interchange bench in this day and age. Let alone Jack Bird as an interchange player? Yeah, right

Poor bench balance. Even if you move Cordner to prop, you've still got 2 lock/second rowers and a utility. Not sure if he'd move Jake to prop or one of the benchies. You'd have to give Fifita a game, I'd have thought. I'm OK with Bird as the utility, he's more likely than Peachey to be of use if there are no injuries in the backs. But if there were, you'd probably want Peachey.

It's a side that's asking for trouble.

Was being facetious mate, Tim Sheens would regularly pick ridiculous benches like that.

 

[Fangs]

Peachey definately takes the utility role. Long road back for burgers Bird I think.

Cleary/Keary for the lols (Sorry Rabs).

Finucane may as well go play ESL if he can't crack it this year. Outstanding player. Freddy has mentioned him a few times and I believe he will play. Prefer him to start over Vaughan.

Fangs side:

1. Tedesco
2. Fergo (Though they will probably pick Cotric/Tupou someone else)
3. Mitchell
4. Roberts (No one else putting their hand up)
5. Addo-Carr
6. Keary
7. Cleary
8. Klemmer
9. Cook
10. Finucane
11. Cordner
12. Frizell
13. Big Jake

14. Peachey
15. Tariq Sims
16. Chrichton
17. Vaughan

The Dumpster:

- RCG (How the tache has fallen)
- Prior (Seeya old man)

Just don't get what Peachey offers??

Ah. Ok. Thanks for the clarification

 

[Fangs]

Best of the utilities on offer, and a proven match winner. Pulled Penrith's ass out of the fire on many occasions.

If not Peachey then another forward.

Good side, although I'd go 2. Cotric.

The pic in post #192 might go against the Jimmy the Juice as well.

The whole 'me me' thing is obvious with Fergo. I get the feeling he will be shafted again, same with the likes of Fifita.

Other guy I really like is Campbell-Graham from the Rabbits. Great player.

Fittler doesn't have enough Maccas vouchers for bird

 

[myrrh ken]

Turbo won't make it back in time so I'd say Fergo or Cotric to jag his place.

Centre spot then looks vacant.

Roberts - out of form
Bird - out of shape
Scott - out of team
D Walker - in court
Ramien - still green?
Fergo - out of position?
BJ - out of his mind?
Peachey?

I'd say Leilua or Peachey would be likely. Leilua is in great form but risky chance of a brain fart.

If Peachey is in, I reckon chuck a utility on the bench like Mitch Aubusson.

 

[Springs09]

Gutho any chance for centre? Would rather him there than out of form players like Roberts, Bird or Peachey.

Don't like to change a winning team but Maloney and Cleary are currently godawful.

Fittler will be mindful that Queensland's decade plus of dominance was built on sticking with proven origin players even when their club form wasn't great. Even Tedesco was chosen last year more on reputation than form.

Having said that it's probably Maloney's final year in the NRL and he'll struggle to hold his place. Cleary would have the inside running for the 7.

The QLD pick and stick mantra is a bit of a myth. They won 12 of 13 years or whatever it was and had the likes of Slater, Inglis, Hodges, Thurston, Lockyer, Cronk, Smith, Civonaceva, Price, Scott etc. Who the hell were they going to drop?

Then when they lost the first game of 2017 convincingly they brought out the chopping block quicker then Trump did on The Apprentice
