Changes, WTF

Does the word loyalty ring a bell. QLD crap on about it ad nauseum, suffer one loss & it's panick stations.

I'm guessing Kevvie will cry again @ the selection presser about ending the SOO careers of a couple of players. Hypocrites deluxe.

And Morgan too! Surely he can't miss 8 tackles again.

Will Maloney be dropped for missing 9? Doubt it. I can't see Morgan being dropped either.

O'Neill was dropped in the 50th minute. I think Myles and Lilyman are the other likely changes.

Slater in for pea-heart Boyd. (Did he even play last night!?)
Holmes in for O'neill. (Too old/slow)
Milford out for Thurston. (2 good runs but you need to start with another half with a kicking game)

Maloney has been missing tackles for years. They know how to cover for him.

QLD's 3/4 line of last night is one of the worst I've ever seen in Origin. Adrian Brunker would've walked into that backline.

How does Justin O'Neill ever become a rep player? He's trash. Even Brenko Lee from the Dogs would've done a better job for QLD in the centres.

Holmes has to be there. He's better than all of QLD's current outside backs. O'Neill, Oates and Boyd OUT. Holmes, Lee & Slater in.

1. Slater
2. Holmes
3. Chambers
4. Brenko Lee
5. Gagai
6. Thurston
7. Cronk

(Boyd to only be considered at fullback like Slater)

As for their pack, they look very light on for depth up front. Myles & Lillyman are done. Washed up. Guerra has lost all ability. Thaiday's an overrated slob. I don't think QLD can come up with a pack good enough to hold their own against NSW.

8. Napa
9. Smith
10. Wallace
11. Papali'i
12. Gillett
13. Hess

14. Morgan
15. Kaufusi
16. Maguire (I guess)
17. I really don't know right now. TBA.

If O'Neil is picked again we deserve to lose.

Lillyman and Myles have well past their used by dates as well.

milford was really good until concussed.

Unfortunately I can't see mass changes as it is a live game in game 2.

Would keep Milf at 18th man for now if Cronk or Thurston get injured then give him a run. QLD should be looking to blood players in for the future. Milf and Hunt are the future QLD halves as far as I'm concerned. See how Hunt goes next year.

Somehow need Boyd, Slater and Holmes in that squad for game 2.

100% on myles, lillyman

Thats what i'd do but I still think Gagai is better suited to the centres and Boyd on the wing. He has played on the wing in origin and done superb, this seems to be overlooked a fair bit.

Justin O'neill was f**king woeful last night, his club form for us has been crap, he should never have been picked last night.

Milford and Taylor for mine in the future. There is something about Ash Taylor that is special. Just takes the right option all the time usually.

They need to start with their pack. Hess & Wallace are a must (young legs, power running) at the expense of Myles & Lillyman(old legs, easily turned on their backs). Dump Oneill & shuffle Gagai,Boyd to make room for Slater at FB. Milford stays if Thurston is out.

Beyond that EAD Qld.

Only a few changes so we can still say we pick and stick. Slater in for o'neill, shuffle Boyd to wing, Gagai to centre. Replace all the bench exc. Morgan ( no impact) with Wallace Hess and Bateman.
