I know its very early in the season, but theres already been alot of talk about various Origin lineups and I was alarmed to see how many Broncos are strong possibilites to make the side.
In previous years we've dealt with similar situations, except the problem was with our forward pack. So I've been wondering, come Origin time if the QLD backline looks something like this...
1) Hunt
2) Tate
3) Tonga
4) Berrigan
5) Slater
6) Lockyer
7) Seymour
Who will step up and take control? Last year we had the luxury of being able to call up a former origin rep in Ikin, Hunt was guarded from rep football, players like Mick DeVere missed out on selection etc.
If those players were to be selected the only backline stars we would have left would be Maguire, Hodges and to a lesser extent Bott.
So I ask the question, who can we call to fill these holes?
