Queensland Maroons 2019

[lockyno1]

Confirmed

Munster to FB

Norman to 5/8

Rest stay the same

 

[gUt]

I just don't get why we shift Munster, who has been our most dangerous individual player this series.

 

[typicalfan]

I think its it's because Norman isn't a good fullback but Munster is good at both. Big risk playing Munster in a position he hasn't trained in for ages.

Better than having Mybe in the centres!

 

[big hit!]

the changes make sense. munster is a dynamic ball runner, just the bloke you want getting his hands on the pill after every kick, as well as chiming into the line inside chambers and morgan. will do some damage.

the problem QLD still have is at acting half. they needed to bite the bullet and bring in a recognised #9 (i.e., Granville). Hunt's service was awful in Game 1 but they still won so this ridiculous mentality in rugby league of not changing a winning team seems to hold sway. furthermore, I just dont see how he can be effective with all the defence he has to get through in the middle. Granville starting and Hunt on the bench as a pinch hitter would be so much more effective. Can leave Mbye out of the squad completely then. Don't really see what he brings.

Lol. Lots of Blues fans aren't happy. I'm not sure what to think.
Considering his form, logic would say that he should have a blinder. But ......

At least he can tackle.

No, just no. He's only just starting to find a little form again. His service is still quite poor. No 2 passes are the same.

 

[gUt]

Hate to say it but that side reads like a slight above average first grade team

 

[King hit]

That team looks better without Napa and Wallace

Eels are 8 n 7. That's "ä slight above average"

Saviour. I was almost giving up this series before yesterday. Now, bring it.

It couldn't look worse! Exactly how drunk were they when they picked Wallace last time? Napa I'll give them a pass, hasn't worked though. He's not a starting prop though to be fair.

Once Arrow got injured, along with Joe O. Knew we were cactus for game 2.

Arrow especially. The amount of work he does is phenomenal and it’s an area we’ll struggle again. I like the Welch inclusion though

 

[Big Pete]

He was the form option and the Maroons were down on troops. He deserved a shot at redemption and didn't take it. Hardly the most shocking decision and I fail to see how Christian Welch would have improved the Maroons.

In fact, I still don't like that balance off the bench. Would prefer to keep Napa over Glasby for that 20 minute 'just run hard and tackle hard' spot.

Form option please tell me you are having a laugh..Welch is a hell of a lot better player. Heck if he wasn’t deemed match fit, Korbin Sims is available

I'm not a huge fan of Wallace, but he was producing more than any other Queensland forward at that time.

If mbye breaks down with another mystery reaction that needs an epi-pen, can we drag the 399 game man into camp, even if kicking and screaming?
