It's just a pat on the head. Smith can be a bit of a grub as well.

Hopefully they don't move Thaiday or Parker into Scotts place.

I don't understand why they picked Taylor and played him through the middle. Lawrence or McGuire would have been more useful especially in the first half. He is just redundant in a team that has Gillett, Te'o, Guerra, Thaiday etc who can play on the edges. He gets into the team because the media...

**** McGuire would have thrived in that war in the first half

Thought Lillyman was solid off the bench. Agree with the rest.

Anthony Milford long odds of making State of Origin debut after Greg Inglis and Billy Slater get up and running | The Northern Daily Leader So Guerra might be starting in place of McQueen. Good choice if it happens.

Cover other forwards in case of injuries would be my guess. Mal said he doesn't know if he will play yet. If Inglis and Slater play then I don't think they can afford to go in without a utility.

Doubt Taylor will play. Lillyman will come onto the bench for Papalii and a utility will be brought in. Gillett will replace Parker in the starting side. Scott, Smith, Myles, McQueen, Thaiday, Gillett. Interchange: Milford/Hunt, Te'o, Guerra, Lillyman

The maroons Facebook page replies are entertaining to read. One person recommened Hala replace Papalii lol.

And they only really have Hayne. We still have Thurston and Smith.

Was lucky enough to have front row seats for this game. I have more appreciation for Myles after some of the punishment he was dishing out right in front of us. Awesome stuff.

More mobility in defence would be my guess. The team will scramble better and have better line speed to put pressure on their playmakers. Even if Lillyman or someone was picked I doubt they would do much more work in the middle then Papalii/Te'o/Guerra are capable of doing alternating throughout...

Error Page This article says that Lillyman and McGuire are front runners to replace Papalii and Thaiday. So who knows at this point, the media are probably just speculating. They probably won't even decide until they see Papalii play today.

I might be wrong but didn't Gillet play in the middle last year? I can't remember him defending on the left fringe at all. EDIT: Alec beat me to it.

Do you trust Gillett to defend next to Thurston? Because his defence is a worry.

Gillett. He is a good back rower but some people make it seem like he is one of the best in the game. He is inconsistent and a lazy defender. Reed is overrated by the media. Hoffman is underrated for mine. He has the potential to be an awesome centre/winger yet he never gets picked there.

Griffin is the most stubborn coach in the history of the game

Re: Queensland 2014 Line-Ups Albert Kelly might be worth a punt for them this year if they lose game 1.

I hope they don't pick Hayne at fullback.

Why the hell do they take hit ups on the 4th tackle when in the titans 20. Should be setting up some kind of attacking play...
