QLD team for Game 2

[I Bleed Maroon]

Definitely Inglis to fullback, drop Slater to 18th man, and maybe even, dare I say it, mix up our halves pairing. Cronk and Thurston are really struggling, at the moment.

You sound like one of them mate! Just an off night.

I'd move Parker to lock, Harrison to 2nd row & thaiday to bench as impact player. Hannant will most likely come back in for someone but our bench was ok. Shillo was a bit off tonight but doubt they'd drop him.

 

[NrlCoach]

thurston should of not played with injure and all the off field stuff that was happening. put cant blame him for not wanting to give up his spot and that $$$$$. Cherry-Evans should of played

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

You guys need Papali to come in and cause some big hits..

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Should have played Papalii

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I reckon you need a bigger winger. Tate has been a loyal servant but he gets bent backwards a lot running the ball back.

GI has to see more of the ball.

 

[NrlCoach]

move slater from fullback. just look at the difference between hayn and slater. one was getting smashed bring the ball back while the other was using his body size advantage to beat the chasing defenders. time for the big boy Inglis to put fear in the kick chasing nsw defenders

 

[Pigskin]

I'd lose Harrison for Hannant, the rest stay the same although I'd perhaps think about Slater starting on the bench and playing the last 50 only

Teo can play centre for 30 mins

Oink !

This.
Surely this is a troll thread?

ATM? Being after one f**king game, really? Why don't you hop off down to tweed with that attitude.

Who exactly is it that we're dropping out of the squad? Inglis, Slater and Cherry Evans all stay in the squad. JT and Cronk aren't going anywhere, they'll be benched at most.

Harrison wasn't bad although Parker is clearly better. We also need Hannant back purely for some extra size. I would be very hesitant to f**k with Slater's role in the team, and Thurston's bad night can be laid at the feet of the coaching staff IMO - he clearly has AIDS or the plague right now. With a player like DCE in the wings there's not a lot of danger in not picking a key man who's not 100% right to go.

With that in mind, barring injuries my team would be

1. Slater
2. Boyd
3. Inglis
4. Hodges
5. Tate
6. Thurston
7. Cronk/DCE
8. Scott
9. Smith
10. Shillington
11. Thaiday
12. Myles
13. Parker

14. Hannant
15. McQueen
16. Papalii
17. Te'o

drop Slater to 18th man​

You can word it however you want, but going from starting fullback to 18th man is dropped.

 

[MSIH]

Forward pack needs some work, but apart from Big Papi, I don't think there's anyone else you could pick.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Inglis
Tate
Chambers
Hodges
Boyd
Thurston
Cronk

Scott
Smith
Shillington
Thaiday
Myles
Teo

Papalli
McQueen
Hannant
Slater
---
Cherry Evans.

I think Thursto has been distracted, first by contracts then by impending birth of child and also cowboys form. He is a champion, once his kid is born he'll be ok. If the Cows win this weekend he'll be even better.

It only takes one injury to GI or one of our centres or wingers to bring him back into the side, you numpty. I'll word it exactly like that because it works.

McQueen over Gillett.

 

[Big Pete]

Hannant should be right and will come back in.

I'd have him take Harrison's place in the side with Parker shifting out to that left fringe.

 

[Shorty]

You'd be f**king idiot to think THurson or Slater deserve to be dropped, has the last 7 years shown you nothing?
