[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3447897, member: 1899"] Not to rain on Oates' parade but I didn't have any issue with Slater's selections. I thought it was important for the Maroons to move forward and give somebody else an opportunity. Oates had his chance and it ended when a try was scored down his wing to decide the series. His form after that was incredibly poor and he was justifiably dropped to Queensland Cup. It's a credit to Oates that not only did he return to the NRL scene but he put himself in the frame for Origin selection. However there were other players who deserved an opportunity and Oates was the guy you bring in last minute and give them a very simple role. Interestingly when he was called into the squad for Game II he rubbed the coaching staff the wrong way. He didn't appear to be switched on at all and I presume he was considered a distraction. They were impressed with the way that he responded to his selection in Game III and how he cut all that out and focused on his job. [/QUOTE]
