If Josh is fit he gets that centre spot back but Duges should get the wing unless of course Brett is also fit.

Dugan handled it a lot better then I thought he would.

All playera fit, I think this would be our strongest line up. Tupou did nothing wrong ither thay being a bit shakey, but Dugan provides more - is equally solid under the high ball but blows Tupou out of the water when it comes to kick returns, tackle breaks etc.

Hope thisnis considered when picking game 3 and next years team.

Duges was good, never doubted him at all! What surprise me the most was his size, he looked bigger than I thought. Looks like Duges has been hard at the gym lately because he was the same size as Iglis (have a look - Greg was really quiet). I think Duges won't be overlooked that easy. NSW has great depth in the backline, and looking really good from here and onwards. I think we can go out with a BANG and win game 3 and break dem QLDrs heart at Suncorp! We NSW know the feeling of losing 8yrs and the 2010 white wash. Eye for an eye, fair enough eh guys ;)

I don't know about dropping Tupou. Even though we haven't seen him outleap anyone, I think the fact that he can worries QLD and them having to set up to defend that everytime could free up other players. What he needs to work on is adding some size to his frame and his defensive leap! I couldn't believe that Brent Tate got the better of him a few times.

We'll beat them most convincingly in game 3.. NSW have been really tense for last 2 games, with the pressure off they'll cut loose. The QLD players have been there for years, they know each other and took the offload when they could, NSW were pretty reluctant.

Tupou won't be dropped. I hope they go to the left more in attack in game 3. Jennings has been very quiet for a guy who is a massive game breaker. I assumed the Morris boys would miss the series but apparently Josh is a chance. What's the latest on Brett? Is he any chance?

Fifita would slot straight in for choc and then Gallen can go back to the backrow. Sutton is a long way down the list plus his a rubbish second rower.

Think Fifita is out with a wrist injury for like six weeks. You would have to give the opportunity to Graham.

Sutton's matches outside of 5/8 has showed he doesn't have the fitness. He was a complete dud.

Sutton will never get a run at Origin. Surely the selectors are now moving past the rubbish they have picked in the past and are never to return. Sutton would be a return to that era.

Following the above logic, I hope Tamou has now played his last game for his adopted state. Soft and lazy and does not deserve to rep at this level. Looked out of place at the end of the match and in the sheds as he pondered his woeful performance. Just doesn't have it at this level. Pretender.

Boyd Cordnor has fallen out of favour rather quickly. T-Rex will come in, he was in camp.

He came out in 2012 and absolutely dominated QLD...... but he's been living off that ever since. It maybe due to him being heavily marked. Andrew Fifita is far superior to any other prop in the world, including Tamou and Scott. Next year may prove to be interesting when it comes to the front row, Tim Grant is moving to Souths and I'm sure he'll instantly be in 'good form' and David Klemmer will also come of age.
