Martin should back up and I think capewell might.

Api alone helps the side but if one of those 2 play. Gets the prop rotation back to normal which helps another issue

 

[franklin2323]

Sims should miss out, and Martin takes his place.

Sims was good.

 

[DinkyDi]

An amazing effort from the Blues, and in particular, our players. Once this series is done, and dusted, watch them shine for our games.

Sims was the best forward on the ground.

Sims was the best forward on the ground.

Yeah good point, however, Crichton should not be a automatic selection though. He will be, at Martin's expense unfortunately.

How good are NSW when they select Penrith Players?
Congrates to Capewell for scoring 80% of QLDs points.

I'll guarantee he's not marking Turbo in game 2, more than likely on the bench. Don't know where they get a centre who can do the job though.

Crichton is better than Martin at this point in their careers, take the Penrith blinkers off

The Cane toads just got smugged!

Him playing v Souths last year after being in hospital. I wouldn't rule him out playing v Roosters. 0 chance he plays this weekend though

Unlike Burgess, it appears Cleary has escaped without a fracture. He has been cleared of any structural damage and will travel with the NSW team back to Sydney on Thursday morning.

First blood: Cleary into Origin folklore with brave effort

Nathan Cleary etched his name into Origin folklore bravely playing with a suspected fractured cheekbone and laceration to lead NSW to a 50-6 victory over Queensland in the State of Origin series opener in Townsville.

Brilliant news.

I think Martin will get more time next game.

Angus will be back so Tariq will get pushed to the bench and Marto drops out.

Capewell is such a good player. One thing I noticed was that whenever they were behind the sticks, he was trying his best to motivate his teammates.

Gun player

This is what teams like Titans and Brisbane need.

Best moment was Yeos try saver on Gagai. A lite version of Cooper on McQueen.

I think Murray will be benched. I didn't want Sims picked but he was fantastic

 

[Girds89]

Liam looked to have picked up a leg injury.

He was hobling at parts and holding his hip.

I think only api plays. Api and leota back definitley is a huge plus

 

[mxlegend99]

Why weren't Munster or DCE able to win the game? 51% possession is great

For me, the best moment was, apart from the win, was when Arrow was squaring up to Nathan Cleary. Nathan held his own, Yeo came up and defended Nathan.

 

[ACTPanthers]

As a Queenslander, that was just embarrassing, but as Panthers die hard it was so good to see our players play so freakishly well.

(It was confusing at times... When To'o went in for his first I almost cheered. Then I remembered... )
