State of Origin III - Queensland vs NSW - Pre-Match Discussion

[Cult]

i personally hope maguire puts gallen in hospital and ultimately missing the rest of the season. all legitimately of course.

Gallen is playing for the Sharks so it could very well happen without McGuires help.

McQueen syndesmosis.

Mal will still pick him crutches, moonboot and all.

 

[Alec]

McQueen would be at his most useful to QLD if he has to sit out for a few weeks (until Origin is over).

I imagine Papalii will come in for McQueen, he played pretty well against the Tigers tonight in his first game back from injury.

@badds76: Josh mcguire on standby for maroons. Selection depends on injuries to forwards chris mcqueen, corey parker and matt gillett

McQueen shouldn't be there anyway. Leave him out and pick McGuire please, Mal.

 

[Socnorb]

I reckon Josh is the sort of guy who would really lift for a game like this. Could be the thing that tips him into the elite class.

We have a few injuries but it's a good time to bring in some new guys. Will Cronk be available? Also 17-18 can more than likely swap. Also if Vidot can't play then Copley needs to play. Chambers hasn't played on the wing in forever.
1 Billy Slater
2 Daniel Vidot (Chambers has done nothing all year and Copley played his way out last week)
3 Greg Inglis
4 Justin Hodges
5 Darius Boyd
6 Jonathan Thurston
7 Daly Cherry-Evans
8 Nate Myles
9 Cameron Smith
10 Jacob Lillyman
11 Matt Gillett
12 Sam Thaiday
13 Corey Parker
14 Josh McGuire
15 Brenton Lawrence
16 Aidan Guerra
17 Anthony Milford
18 Ben Hunt

double post

 

[Broncoman]

I have a feeling that Chambers will get the nod because of his connection with the Storm and being a teammate of Smith and Slater.

Wonder how Bellamy's blood pressure is doing having his last hope for the storm playing dce style

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

I really dont know what to think about this team.

Lillyman and Myles are the only props. We struggled when Scott and myles were our only props so this can only be worse. We needed a prop on the bench. I hate how we keep picking taylor but then expect him to play like a prop. You either pick him and let him play wide or u dont pick him at all. Doesnt have the work rate to play up the middle. Teo or Taylor shouldve been dropped for McGuire.

 

[Qlder88]

I bloody hope mal is picking Chambers for more than just the fact he's team mates with slater.. Why not winterstein, or vidot? Feel sorry for Lawrence too, Gees what's he got to do

 

[Cult]

Really disappointed in this team. Wouldn't blame McGuire for saying nope, I'll play for New Zealand then. Also what the ****, Chambers? Seriously. Chambers has been horrible all season. I swear the selectors have only watched the last round of footy before each Origin game. 2 props? Dave Taylor? Do they not want to win this year?

 

[Qlder88]

The only possible reason is that mal wants to see out the series with the as close to the dynasty team as possible and limited rookies and will blood young guys next year. Makes no sense to me, wouldn't this game be the ideal time to trial guys...? Got nothing to lose

 

[broncos4life]

Shit team. Mal doesnt care anymore

First time in as long as I can remember I am really struggling to get excited for this game

 

[Qlder88]

Yep I can't believe qld are paying 1.60

 

[Broncoman]

Not surprised with this team I was expecting Mal to name a similar side as the Maroons weren't far out of it in Games 1 and 2. McGuire is unlucky not to be named he is in far better form and brings more than Lillyman. Taylor is lucky to be there as he is failure at rep level.

Anything that helps NSW though is good :p
