Qld team moving forward

[thehattrickrabbit]

- No McQueen (not origin), No Te'o(leaving), No Taylor (lacks lateral movement)
- Cronk back to 7 (DCE didn't show enough patience out there)
- Inglis to FB
- One of Hodges or Tate goneski, they need to look for a gun youngster to look to the future and allow Slater to keep a spot in the team)
- Lillyman MUST be there, origin all over

1) Inglis
2) Boyd
3) Gagai
4) Hodges
5) Slater
6) Thurston
7) Cronk
8) Scott
9) Smith
10) Myles
11) Gillett
12) Thaiday
13) Parker

14) Cherry-Evans
15) Papalii
16) Lillyman
17) McGuire
18) J.Friend (Potential Lock)
19) Guerra

With some great NSW youngsters coming through Walker, Wighton, Johnston plus a ton of others i think a big part of any success QLD have in the future is on the back of GI and in my opinion has to be at least trialled for game 3.

I would swap Boyd with Chambers.

 

[nick87]

itching to see the Morris boys absolutely mince Dane Gagai for 80 minutes at Origin leve

 

[PhilGould]

I'd pick Guerra over Papalii.

Need to move on a bit. Slater and Cronk have been wonderful servants but we need to move on. DCE deserves to be half he wasn't fit last night to be fair. Inglis fullback, maybe Chambers or Vidot on the wing.

 

[Talanexor]

Probably time for a changing of the guard. A lot of our players just looked a little bit older and slower out there so far in this origin series.

At the very least, GI needs to be fullback and we need some new centres - a position we have very little depth in.

the third dead rubber match is probably a good opportunity to blood some youngsters.

Guys like:

Hunt
Chambers
McCullough
McGuire
Gagai

And from the Cowboys I don't think Bolton or Cooper would look out of place in an Origin jersey either.

We're really lacking depth at the moment, particularly in the outside backs.

 

[chrisD]

Mal doesn't have it in him.

Gagai will get destroyed.

 

[lockyno1]

Friend will be picked before McCullough

 

[morley101]

Tate and Scott are out of Origin 111

Looks like Chambers and Mcquire will get their chance.

 

[Izz]

lol@Gagai.

Guy regularly gets toweled up defensively at club level. Would get absolutely destroyed at Origin level.

 

[Twizzle]

Moving forward will they drop Slater if they put GI at fullback, or will they put him on the wing.

He'd have to be a better winger than the other options at Origin level also better under the high ball.
