Joey Leilua for Josh
Uate for Brett
Leilua is every bit an Origin centre and a complete prick that QLD will hate playing against. Uate is Uate. Problem solved.
Nice try, Queenslander :lol:

No to Hoppa as a replacement......his defence last night was ordinary
Hoppa has one ordinary game and everyone calls for his head?
Hoppa is pure class and won't let anyone down. He had a niggling injury on Friday night, which can explain why he wasn't at his best. I'm sure on Friday night he will be back to his class, I think he will be up against Tate?
The bloke himself is admitting he's not there yet. We could always throw him to the wolves and then let everyone call for his head. No one is questioning the blokes skill. He's a gun. But he looks like he lacks the pace and strength needed to compete week in week out atm. You can't blame him either. He'll either be wearing the Blue jersey in future years or at the very least keeping the incumbents very honest.
Why not put T-rex in the centers to mark inglis he did a good job in game 1 when helped out the right side of the field making sure inglis doesn't do anything i think that was daleys choice for picking T-rex in the squad to make him mark Inglis

He has been very good this year, improving every game.
He is way too genuine to give himself a rap, of course he will say things like I'm not at my best yet, I need to improve on things....
He will not let NSW down in the centres for game 2
I've watched hoppa all year and while he has been solid in defense (except on friday) and distributing the ball to the wing in attack, he just hasn't got his pace back. Every time he is in a hole he gets rounded up instantly. Give him another year I reckon.
Never said he wasn't playing well. He's a class player. Silky hands to boot.
So you are saying he is in fact at his very best now????
You know he doesn't have to come out and tell everyone he's a superstar the like of which we've never seen but I'd hope he was genuine enough tell the selectors he isn't yet at the level required to play in an origin match with the shear verocity, intensity and physicality like we saw the other night if in fact he feels that way. I don't think he's anywhere near being as strong and fast as he was when he left the game.
If he gets a start then I wish him all the best. However, I'd be surprised if Lozza didn't have reservations about giving him a start in game 2. That said, who does he go with??
I know Kane Linnett is a left centre but I reckon we could do a lot worse than him and not too much better. Other left side centres include J. Croker and J. Leilua. Who else do we have to fill the vacant position???? Chris Lawrence????
He would be quicker than Hodges....
It's not like he is as slow as a prop, he still has a bit of speed behind him
