POST GAME State of Origin Game 3 Discussion

Somehow won despite our halves doing **** all. Ponga and hunt saved our back.

Farrrk. This is a vexing result. There's a part of me that is happy that we avoided the sweep, but jesus christ QLD's future over the next 5 years is looking bleak.

I dont think it is at all. We just need everyone fit.

If only hunt would commit to being a 9 full-time. He's pretty good in that position

If only he had of committed to it 8 years ago, he would have been one of the top hookers I believe.

The fact he didn’t pick bhunt game 1, and Macca 9 game 2 should be his death knell.

That is still a lot of talent if injuries can be less.

 

[mrslong]

Phew, so glad Trell didn’t get the Wally

 

[DanG]

i thought brimson showed he can play pretty well at centre, didnt let tom get through once

Exactly.

NSW can wear a few injuries because of their depth... although I think a halves pairing of Wighton and Moses was never going to work

Qld does not have the depth across the board to handle any injuries.

A spine with Munster, Ponga and Harry is absolutely top shelf.

Bhunt has been looking better this year in NRL and now in origin he looked very good. Could quite easily take the 7 from Cherry next year.

Mahoney can also take the bench spot to give a one two punch at hooker.

Forward pack is strong enough to compete with NSW (especially when Freddy tries to be cute and picking 1 prop on the bench).

Also have enough in the backs to score points... except for left center which we can't seem to find

1 Ponga
2 Val
3 Gagai
4 ?? Would be excellent if Brimson could turn this spot into his own
5 Hammer?? (Bellamy will probably turn Coates into Folau though)
6 Munster
7 Hunt / Cherry
8 Welch
9 Harry
10 Papa
11 Fifita (an in form Fifi anyway)
12 Capewell
13 Arrow

14 Mahoney / Bhunt
15 Collins
16 Fotuaka
17 Tino
