General State of Origin Discussion

[Unbreakable]

Now it's looking like Kaufusi will also be missing for Queensland - charged with a tripping offence last night, 1 game suspension with an early guilty plea.

With all of the injuries & suspensions, this is how I currently see the sides shaping up:

2. Daniel Tupou
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Tom Trbojevic
5. Josh Addo-Carr
6. Jarome Luai
7. Nathan Cleary
8. Daniel Saifiti
9. Damien Cook
10. Junior Paulo
11. Cameron Murray
12. Tyson Frizell
13. Isaah Yeo

14. Jack Wighton
15. Tevita Pangai Jr
16. Jake Trbojevic
17. Reagan Campbell-Gillard

18. Clint Gutherson

Out: Payne Haas, Angus Crichton, Ryan Papenhuyzen.

QLD -

1. AJ Brimson
2. Valentine Holmes
3. Dane Gagai
4. Kurt Mann
5. Xavier Coates
6. Kalyn Ponga
7. Daly Cherry-Evans (c)
8. Christian Welch
9. Harry Grant
10. Jai Arrow
11. David Fifita
12. Kurt Capewell
13. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui

14. Ben Hunt
15. Moeaki Fotuaika
16. Francis Molo
17. Jarrod Wallace

18. Reed Mahoney

Ponga is out too apparently. Who plays 6?
Surely not Walker.

Christ, last year's meme of the 'Worst Queensland side ever' is a reality for Game 1, this truly will be an abomination.

Looks like

1. Brimson
6. Hunt
7. DCE
9. Grant/Mahoney will be the spine.

TPJ? That's a strong team.

TPJ? That's a strong team.

Nevermind. Chammas made an adjustment to that projected team, looks like Tariq Sims has won the bench 2RF spot ahead of TPJ.

Rest of the team is locked in, if healthy.

i wouldn't mind seeing ronaldo mulitalio getting a wing spot seems to be better defensively then coates and runs hard

Anyone is better then Coates defensively.

Please be true... we need TPJ next week

Surely Feldt gets a wing spot over Coates? If you're looking for Mr consistant, can finish a try, good under the high ball, experienced, strong carries out of your half and someone who you know will do the job. Its gotta be Feldt.

yer idk he as well misses a lot of tackles on his wing just general 1 on 1's

 

[DanG]

uh oh AJ off the field

 

[mrslong]

Holmes to fullback, he’s in top form. I don’t think it’s a big loss.
