Team I would name, assuming Hoffman and Teo back, and Lockyer, Hodges, Thaiday, Hannant all out (injury/not backing up). Yow Yeh should be right.
1. Hoffman
2. Copley
3. Beale
4. Reed
5. Yow Yeh
6. Norman
7. Wallace
8. Dodds
9. Baptiste
10. Carlaw
11. Glenn
12. Te'o
13. Parker
-----------------------
14. Anderson
15. Hala
16. Kenny
17. Butterfield
Worried about our front rowers in this game. Dodds to start for some defensive muscle early, and Carlaw back for some experience. I don't think I've seen 2 front rowers get absolutely dominated in hit-ups more than Anderson and Kenny. Got them retaining their spots though because we don't want too many rookies.
And yes I am aware it's unlikely that McCullough will be dropped for an Under 20's and QCup hooker but he damn well should be.

I know I'm contradicting an earlier point but I'd rather see Yow Yeh at centre and Gagai on the wing as opposed to shifting Beale there. Tonight showed just what a liability he is in defence and he's always been fairly ineffective out-wide.
Not sold on Butterfield, I know people are desperate to get rid of Macca but I believe having Baptiste on the bench and him having a blinder is a better alternative than throwing somebody who's had bugger all to do with the top side.
I'd draft Tronc back in if possible. Ditch Anderson and Kenny can come off the bench.
I'm fine with the rest of the side.

How is Lingwoodock playing?? Wouldn't mind to see him get a run. Baptiste is a must IMO because Macca is not cutting it.

They both would've come in handy now..and both have been playing well for the Cowboys.
Tariq was such a disappointment to lose, so much potential at such a young age, he could become anything. He has also been playing consistently well this year in first grade.
I didn't really mind loosing Ashton, Tariq on the other hand will become a superstar as he gains experience and matures.

We'll probably see a few of the Queensland players back up. It's okay to rest those guys after winning 7 straight, but when you're looking at 3 straight losses, if you can fit them in you should.
Confirmed Hodges will miss this game.
"NRMA Insurance Broncos medical staff have confirmed that Justin Hodges will miss two Broncos games because of a hamstring tear that almost certainly leaves him out of next week's Origin opener."
