As someone who keeps tabs on QCup, I really don't know much about Wallace or Gibb at all. Can't recall them ever standing out.

Agree with those who are pleased to see Parker in there - Thaiday's injury may almost be a blessing in disguise. Parker's good on his feet and is probably better equipped than Thaiday to handle what NSW will throw at us in the ruck. But in saying that, Thaiday's still does a LOT of work. Can...

To be totally honest, Tuqiri has been terrible for about two years now. Don't know how he's managing to hold down a first grade spot. And on the Storm struggling without their big three.. of course they'd struggle, most teams would look a little lost without their three most creative players...

The biggest worry for us is if they get on a massive roll through the middle, they've got some pretty big fellas in their side. Can definitely win it, the plus is our playmaking quartet isn't hit by Origin. Reckon we'll get them on the fringe - Glenn and Reed to score a few.

Dunamis Lui just tweeted that he wished he was playing tomorrow haha #oops So guessing someone else will coming onto the bench.. Mitchell Dodds maybe?

Thought that about Hoffman for a while now, pretty sure I've posted about it at some point. He's absolutely hopeless at a second man play and any sort of ball playing. The one strength in his attacking game is his running, which will only come to the fore on kick returns and if he's put into a...

I was worried about Petero pre-series, and I still am, but now that's he's there QLD can't drop him (unless he has a SHOCKER in Game 2). Our pack will be better for the run. For starters, Scott is on his way back from injury and Taylor was sick. Plus, we can still get more minutes from...

Apparently they're all backing up. Melbourne never rest players.

But I'm not saying the Inglis scenario was a chargedown. Was using it as an example of when consciously moving the hands was not a factor in determining that a player has indeed "played at the ball". ie. you don't have consciously move your hands to touch the ball in order to be playing at the...

A chargedown is considered playing at the ball.. I don't want to debate technicalities and end up sounding like AP but a charge down is still considered playing at the ball even though the player may not necessarily have time to move his arms in the direction of the ball. Same deal when players...

That bit doesn't sit well with me though. After the ball leaves Inglis's hands, surely every movement he makes from that point onwards is an attempt to regain possession or at least get his hands on the ball. Therefore, he's playing at it?

Read that Tate got Players' Player, with Harrison and Myles just behind in voting.

3. Tate 2. Myles 1. Harrison (followed closely by Inglis)

Weird match. NSW looked the better of the teams and more dangerous in the general run of play but only scored two arsey tries from kick fumbles. Same story as the past few years really, NSW tend to look threatening for a period and as if they're about to blow the game open but never quite get...

Agree with Jeb. Massive grub on the field too.

I'm worried (although I am always worried before an Origin) about tonight. Reckon NSW will be primed for a top notch performance. Wait and see, sick of all the banter.. just want the footy to start!

I'd still rather have Glenn over Gillett as our fill in centre, but I think I went on about that last week. Agree with resting the bulk of our players but this is going to be a really tough period of the season for us. If Hook persists with the resting policy, we'll be without our Origin blokes...

Agree with Coxy. Although the trump card on Queensland's side is Meninga. He'l find a way to keep them motivated. In the media he's been spruiking the 'new era' post Locky which is a great way to distance previous success from what needs to be done this year. Plus, it's Civ's last series -...

You've got a picture of a bloke in a neck brace as your sig.. I'll take our concept of Origin over your delusional interpretation of success any day of the week.
