QLD Team

If Tate is out, they really have to select Falou, especially if Slater is gone. However, I can see the selectors being stubborn and going with someone like Mogg.

He's playing QCup. :|

Folau is a must pick.

 

[Black Philip]

Folau should be picked. End of story. People need to stop crapping on about loyalty and get it through their thick heads that loyalty is nearly dead in todays game. These days you have to take what you can get when you can get it. We play to win, the best team should be selected.

Tate is out with a broken jaw, bloody big decision coming from QLD selectors IMO.

Livermore is a stubborn mule, not a chance Folau will get picked I reckon, even though it is obvious they need to pick him!!!

Its an opportunity for QRL to put their money where their mouth is - we will certainly see, he is stubborn, but we'll see how important ideals really are

Would have to be between Tuqiri and the two emerging origin wingers in Yow Yeh and Vidot, considering the QRL has turned their back on Folau. Will be interesting to see if they change their stance because of the current predicament...

Who said they're not going to pick Tuqiri?

 

[Gingerballs]

They said Tate had the inside running because he'd been loyal to the game. I don't recall him ever being ruled out, unlike they (foolishly) have with Folau.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Denan Kemp FTW!!

 

[Black Philip]

Tate being injured may well be a blessing in disguise, he shouldn't be near the Queensland team.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I was dead against Folau being selected but for me now common sense has over taking Emotions. I think he should be selected.

Me too Beads. Let's concentrate on winning the 5 straight. If we win in Brisbane, leave Folau out for the last one and blood a youngster.

not even let him play, he deserves to go out a winner..

The main reason i don't want Folau selected for QLD is because i think the media will keep on about Folau and the AFL and i don't think that should happen during our showcase event. Also, i don't want the attention to be taken away from Locky's likely last series.

The continually harped on about Folau and the AFL in todays press conference after the Broncos vrs Manly game

just a bit from the article

Irritated Brisbane coach Ivan Henjak has called a halt to the Israel Folau circus, saying he is sick of giving a rival code a leg-up by constantly talking about the star's move to AFL next year.

Henjak became agitated when hit with a barrage of Folau-related questions following his two-try performance in Sunday's 22-6 win over Manly – the 21-year-old's first game since announcing his defection to Australian rules.

"With all due respect, I don't really want to talk about Izzy and AFL anymore," Henjak said.

"I don't want to pump the AFL's tyres up anymore. They've had enough publicity."

"Izzy's committed to us for the rest of the year, he's assured us of that and that's all I want to say on Izzy."

"I thought he was tremendous (against Manly). He's handled things great."

Pressed further on Folau, Henjak became increasingly testy.

"There's a heap of positives out there and 'youse' want to talk about Izzy," he said.

"That footy game…it's a bloody good performance by a team getting back into form and 'youse' want to talk abut Izzy all the time, about him bloody going to AFL."

"Hasn't it had enough of a run?"

Good on Henjak, media need to stop all talk about AFL, don't play into the AFL's hands by giving them free publicity, all NRL people should simply stop mentioning it, that will hurt the AFL big time.

 

[Bannermania]

How can no-one see that Tuqiri is the best man for the job? How is that possible?

Nah, it won't. They've had ample free publicity from it, they stopped going on about Hunt after a while the same will happen with Folau.
