No thanks, and I go for Brisbane.
He has superb defence and can split sides open out wide. He and Thaiday are the form Qld backrowers, Johnson is a hack

Myles and Hannant easily play prop not to mention Price plays 70+ minutes anyway! Shillington is a pillow, glad to see him not in the side!

Why? Stagg is hopeless in Origins, Johnson has been a key ingredient to us winning 3 series' in a row. Stagg is average.
You clearly haven't seen him play this year, he's been brilliant.
Parker has made 4 errors in 11 matches playing the full 80 mins every match. So there goes your "4-5 errors a game" theory. Johnson has made 3 errors in 10 matches and hasn't played fulll 80 minute games. What sets them apart is the penalty count. Johnson has given away 6 of them in 710 min of football while Parker has only conceded 4 in 880.Johnson is much better than Parker. Parker is always good for 4-5 errors a game.
Maybe. but QLD usually pick players on form and both Stagg and Parker are in much better form than Johnson at the moment.
We'll see

Johnson is a tackling machine and that is all. Parker offers far more in attack and gives up less errors and penalties.
no QLD don't usually pick on form - we pick the players who have shown can get the job done, and this has always been the case?
If QLD picked up form than they would of been swapping bowen and prince in a few seasons ago when the media and masses started their little bandwagon campaign. this is why QLD has a much better squad than NSW cos it's built around a core which stays the same.
Can't beleive people want Parker in the side. He played a few years ago, went sh*t and we lost. Same goes with Stagg. Why the hell would we change a winning side?

Parker has 25 to Joshnson's 15. As I said, Johnson is a tackling machine, but Parker offers much more in attack.I'd love to know the missed tackle rates..
I'm not looking for Parker to replace Johnson, but he definitely deserves a spot.lockyno1 said:Johnson barely misses a tackle and is a key reason why we won last year.
18th man?
QLD have avoided picking players on form in this era, rather they have gone for the 17 players that did the job last year. Stagg was so ordinary the last time he played Origin!
f**k you're a spastic.
stagg was ordinary 4 years ago and you therefore assume he'd be ordinary if selected this time :crazy:
lockyer had a terrbile full test debut and look at him now, by your logic he should never have played for australia again
just because players did the job 12 or 24 months ago doesnt mean they can still do it. willie mason did the job for the blues several eyars ago by your geniused logic he should still be in the team
