Your NSW team for Game III?

[Raiders_Premiers]

Learoyd-Lahrs for Merrin

possibly another prop replacing a backrower

I don't think we can get away with only 2 props for Game 3, it'll be a different game imo

 

[Spot On]

You can't change a thing, although Gallen will be the focus for QLD in game 3. We really need a prop to help out there. It will be crucial. They can't let Gallen do what he did tonight again. Ricky will need a different offensive game plan you would think. Time for a frontrower to pull his finger out and start to blitz it.

 

[Slackboy72]

What is Jennings status?

 

[Billythekid]

Just dump Merrin, he clearly isn't quite up to standard yet. The fact that he was benched for over 60 minutes says that the coach has no faith in him so he shouldn't be on the team.

 

[Charles Bronson]

Scott - dropped

this is what happens when you let clueless 8 year olds on the internet

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Yeah id bring in Jennings for Hoppa, TLL for Creagh and im undecided on Dugan or Mini. Id go with Mini, but id still be confident in Dugan.

 

[Fordy20]

Gidley was damaging in his time on the field, definitely provided impact off the bench, we have an 80 minute prop in Gallen and Gidley was great tonight.

Damaging? How?

 

[Chook Norris]

Gidley played well, much better than Ennis tonight anyway. Always seems to provide a lift for the Blues coming off the bench

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

yeah merrin for TLL
Maybe Creagh for ????
btw imo
hoppa >>>>>> jennings
minni >>>>>>> Dugan (Even though I thought i would never say this)

 

[Hindyscrack]

Probably Gidleys best game in origin, and thats showing what he hasn't done...

Not sure where he was during the Qld try, smart effort from Smith.

Ennis provides nothing apart from some solid defence.

Gidley was marking up on the other side of the ruck.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Gids should be there. Oh and i think they really need to spread the ball to Uate more often, was it just me or did he actually look unstoppable

 

[mozza91]

Gidley was marking up on the other side of the ruck.

No he wasn't it was his fault they scored that try, it doesn't matter that he was a thousand times sharper then Ennis out of dummy half he is still by far the worst player to ever play Origin and it is single handedly his fault NSW didn't win by more.

TLL for merrin

Lewis in starting side for creagh and put creagh on the bench

Lewis is a proven soo player creagh is still up in the air IMO

I'd maybe even go close to saying put young Tariq sims on the bench for creagh in game 3. He would have a game breaking influence.

If not game 3 then next year definitely

It's too much of a risk debuting players in a decider IMO.

Pffft your such a Creagh hater. They have to stick with this side. Its the decider, its not the time or situation to hand out debut jumpers.
Merrin is the only possible change. Miniciello surprised me, great effort and proved me wrong. The halves were both really impressive tonight and deserved the payoffs of their perseverance.
The backrowers. As a unit were fantastic. Too fast for QLD to ever recover.
Cant believe someone wanted Scott dropped.......
Gidley, I really liked how he played tonight. Thats the exact role he should play for this team. Ive been frustrated with him overplaying his role in past origins. Tonight he was great.
And as for Gallen.....well the guy is just outstanding. What a leader.

 

[Timmah]

Can't really see a reason to change much apart from tonight's consensus on maybe Merrin, replace him with TLL, Snowden or even Tolman.

 

[Johns Magic]

Big no on Tolman

 

[Pazza]

TLL is the only guy who can walk into this side!

 

[BLKOUT!]

TLL in for Merrin, MAYBE Jennings in for Gasnier. Not sure. Otherwise the same.
