[Foordy]

QLD have confirmed that they won't use the loophole to get Wallace to play if suspended by the judiciary.

 

[Battler]

Tim Glasby.

Congrats on winning 3-0, NSW. One of the best packs I've seen in Origin.

I thought Guerra would survive ... interesting

 

[Danoz Direct]

Tim Glasby is such a weird selection.

 

[Super Freak]

Yep. QLD panicking.

FMD.

 

[Big Pete]

I remember being bewildered when Mal brought in some reserve grader from North Queensland.

His name was Jacob Lillyman and he went onto have a decent Origin career.

I've got no qualms with Glasby, the game won't be won and lost because of him and I expect him to do a solid job off the bench. I certainly feel more comfortable with his selection off the bench than having so many backrows.

 

[Danoz Direct]

You might as well have selected Korbin Sims if you were not going to look at previous average metres gained.

 

[Bucking Beads]

The selectors got it so wrong with the team they picked in Game 1. I'm not sure they've done any better for game 2 TBH. The Gavin Cooper selection is poor IMO. Felise Kaufusi playing much better footy and ripe for the picking IMO.

 

[Danoz Direct]

We are going to be screwed for next year if all (which looks likely) of Thurston, Cronk and Thurston retire.

 

[Foordy]

Walters won't confirm that Slater is taking the fullback position.

just saying that they were named in alphabetical order (first time QLD has ever done this) and they would work out where everyone is playing in the next couple of days.

 

[JayPee]

Likely team

1. Slater
2. Boyd
3. Gagai
4. Chambers
5. Holmes
6. Thurston
7. Cronk
8. Napa
9. Smith
10. Papalli
11. Cooper
12. Gillet
13. McGuire

14. Morgan
15. Hess
16. Glasby
17. Wallace

Love it. Very well balanced team

I'm glad they picked an extra prop on the bench but surprised it wasn't Korbin Sims. Korbin will probably get picked if Wallace is rubbed out though.

 

[Pushkin]

So Sam thaiday played his last origin match.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Likely team

1. Slater
2. Boyd
3. Gagai
4. Chambers
5. Holmes
6. Thurston
7. Cronk

10. Papalli
11. Cooper
12. Gillet
13. McGuire

14. Morgan
15. Hess
16. Glasby
17. Wallace

Love it. Very well balanced team

Wallace won't be there and Glasby IMO is not a great selection.

There is no way Slater plays anywhere else but fullback.

it's ok m8 we have Milford. ;)

Pathetic side
Oates was one of our best
Holmes won't do sqaut running out of our own end
