Anyone notice Milf and Hunt play the same way now in big games?
Notice who they're both receiving the ball out of dummy half from......?

Inglis was ordinary tonight
Might have to switch him up on Mitchell for his defence alone
Cleary didn't lose the game for his side with garbage, in fact, he made a crucial tackle to save it.
For every good thing Hunt does, he does two stupid things. That's his nature - some (most) see it, some don't.
I agree with you in theory, but I still believe Cameron Smith doesn't owe QLD anything. Somehow I think Walters lies at the heart of the matter.
One good thing for every two stupid? Mate, you need go self-medicate and lie down.
Hunt makes crucial tackles every game, particularly on his own line, but people forget that out of convenience. Cleary didn't do much of anything - if Hunt was that quiet people would have been tearing him a new one for not injecting himself in to the game.
Right now Hunt is our Pearce. He's the best we have, but because he's not an immortal, people want to throw him under the bus and pick whoever threw a nice pass two weeks earlier. DCE is the only replacement I could fathom, and even then I'd be wondering what it is that has the selectors so wary of him.
The full insanity is people advocating for Taylor with a straight face.
Cam Smith did what was best for Cam Smith. But I'd say it was also beneficial for Queensland. At the moment Smith wants as little media attention as possible. I guarantee if he were playing for Qld the NSWRL would have him in the headlines every single day, that'd be no good for our prep at all.
And yeah, I don't think a paper bag full of cash was involved. More along the lines of "step down or your dirty laundry gets aired". In fact, I'm positive, otherwise why would it not be out there already?

The worst thing about Cam Smith retiring is him saying that he'd be letting us down if he played on. That's the biggest load of shit I've ever heard/read. Still the best player in the world by far, especially with Thurston declining.

Definition of insanity: trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? I get he pick and stick or development stratergies but none of those players fit those criteria. Dce has been tried before and failed miserably and isnt getting any younger, cooper is 31 and been terrible this year in origin and nrl and has also not given much ever in origin outside of jt making him look good, and hess may be young but he needs to learn the value of the queensland jersey...DCE solves Queensland’s kicking in play and also improves our Goal Kicking position, which seems to have crept under the radar as a key part of why we lost tonight. If he’s not getting picked now then it can only be personal no matter what other excuses they give us.
Hess holds his spot simply because we don’t have other options for bigger bodies in the side, so he has to be retained.
Cooper likewise holds his spot because we aren’t getting Matt Gillett back until next year and we don’t have a better option on that edge currently. I wouldn’t be picking him again next year though, he offers very little without Thurston
I didnt even realize cleary played tonight. I wish i could say the same about hunt though....

One name i think falls before all of them though is hardly getting mentioned. Wallace! He has made about 70 metres in 2 games combined. He is an absolute powder puff at this level and dirties the name of webcke and ciovoniceva.
And just on replacements in the forwards... sua, thaiday, scott, glasby, welch, hipgrave and ffs even shaun lane have been in better form &/or have better runs on the board in origin.
I dont get how walters uses the loyalty card with these guys but not the ones who did it 20-30 times before to a much much higher standard. And why does he pick a 31 year old out of form player and many other 30 plus year olds yet goes on about the future? Why not just pick the special 30+ year olds and the bring in young guys for the rest. Dont do this half/half shit
