QLD Squad 2020

[Petch67]

Feel like NSW will lose a few, even it up a tiny bit.

Keary has been putrid..that evens the 6 up

As much as I enjoyed flogging nsw every year, The golden qld era kinda killed off the origin vibe for me. But this has a bit of an old school feel to it. Qld fielding a team a nobodies not expecting to win and Wayne Bennett back at the helm.

Sad thing is fittler being hailed a great coach....if qld pull a miracle out of their arse no doubt the commentators will tell everyone to stand up and applaud a great blues dynasty

Apparently theyve announced the addition of the king and beetson from parra to the blues squad

agree 100%

dominance is boring regardless of who's side it is.

underdogs, backs to the wall, bunch of absolute nevilles and plodders - bring it on.

Xavier Coates has missed the last two training sessions opting to go on a previously planned holiday instead.

Petero Civoniceva has quit the QLD team for this years series as he can't commit to the strict bubble requirements because of work and family commitments

Just gets better and better doesn't it [emoji2955]

Corey Allan
Dane Gagai
Dunamis Lui

All join the Maroons squad.

All former Broncos juniors too.

Thought Dunamis was quite good this year, possibly his best? Good to see some of the lesser names from our early NYC squads making a name/career for themselves. Wouldn't be against him as a benchie.

That takes the Maroons to 21 players with presumably 6 spots remaining.

It's difficult to say for certain, he had a fairly strong 2019 as well.

I see Dunamis as the right fit for the right club. After trying to go big with Shannon Boyd and Junior Paulo, the Raiders went with a more mobile pack and it's allowed them to be more robust defensively. Lui has really complimented the team nicely and really made a nice career for himself.

 

[NSW stables]

****, when comparing the nsw and qld squads, qld is in a bit of strife. Doesnt even look like it will be close

That backline. Gross.

Remember

Slater
Boyd (just don't)
Inglis
Hodges
Folau

 

[Sproj]

The forwards will lay a decent platform but that backline will kill everything they get, they would make the Broncos backline this year look competitive.

 

[Alec]

Maybe Coates playing will get him to improve, both for his and Broncos sake, because he's really, really far from being Origin quality at the moment. Even further than the Lees, and you'd really have to dig way down the bottom of the shit barrel to get those 2 selected.

I'd prefer Gagai on the wing and get a defence-orientated centre next to him even if it's a regular forward.
