The performance of the halves isn't going to matter much for QLD going forward while our pack is being completely monstered

If I was assembling a team I'd have Milford over Munster every time.

Explain how Munster is a better player than Milford.
Better form, yes. But better player? No.

Unless DCE has a massive drop in form where he can't even pass a ball or pisses off Kevvie, then DCE will be 7.
Kevvie told DCE that he if won Game 3, he will be halfback next series.

Our pack wasn't monstered last year. I don't see why it would be this year.
They were getting us the field position we needed and hitting hard in D.

Maybe we should wait and see how Ponga handles playing 6 for the Knights before giving him the QLD gig ...
Who knows, the extra defensive workload combined with decreased space might blunt his effectiveness ...

I've come to the conclusion that Ponga can do anything
As for our forward pack being monstered.. Which was always a concern of mine before this years origin series..

That's okay. Keen to be proven wrong by milfy
Yeah Munster is a fullback/center. Milford has his measure in the halves, he just needs a good run at it.

Kev has some selection headaches... first of all I think Milford would be head and shoulders above the other options as a 5/8 running off DCE. Second, DCE is a given for the 7. The headaches is that Munster, Morgan and Ponga are all very good full backs. I think Morgan is the worst of the 3 here but would pair Inglis well in the centres. I really don’t like chambers and think his moments of brilliance are overshadowed by his brain snaps. The wings should be Oates left, Gagai right. They’ve both earned it. Friend and McCullough are much of a muchness for hooker but I’d say friend has the edge due to delivery speed. Both are tacklebots. We have the forwards to do the job, just need to slot arrow into 13 and move moose to prop with Wallace, offa, Napa, papa, and... can’t remember the other bugger right now (figure out who starts based on suitability for impact off bench). The back row is easy, insert Gillette straight into his position without a thought then let Su’a, Kau, Hess, Cooper and Papa (if he misses out on prop) fight it out for the left side. Fifita is too young for origin. The fame is not good for young heads. Maybe Su’a is too. Ponga is an anomaly and was a risk.

Ponga has to start, he's already Qld's best player

therein lies the problem, you don’t make promises to players when youve just lost a series

I’ve got to say, i’ve barely gotten over him playing such big minutes in the middle for Qld and not once looking overawed.
Sure, players like Cronk, Hunt & Morgan have played the utility role and held their own for short spells. But I couldn’t see, say, Lockyer or Slater doing it, not for like 50+ minutes, on debut.
