State of Origin II - NSW v Queensland - Pre-Match Discussion

[Unbreakable]

I feel like Vidot would be a liability in defense in origin, I'd rather bring in someone who's done it all before. This would be my team with Cronk & Slater out.

1. Inglis
2. Boyd
3. Tonga
4. Hodges
5. Tate
6. Thurston
7. Cherry-Evans
8. Scott
9. Smith
10. Myles
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. Parker

14. Lillyman
15. Papalii
16. Te'o
17. Guerra

15. Taylor or Lawrence instead?

 

[Mister Wright]

I didn't think Vidot was eligible given he has already played a test for Tonga (or Samoa) this year. With the limited ball Melbourne had last night Chambers looked good. He also made the correct decisions in defence.

I wouldn't be against giving Dave a go, but Papa provides some big hits in defense, which might fire us up in game 2.

 

[Super Freak]

Apparently Daley is considering switching Hayne to right centre to replace Josh Morris.

After watching his game at fullback, I bloody hope it happens.

That would be something Daley would do, then bring in someone like Dugan at Fullback.

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

Hayne to centre = QLD victory.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hayne to centre = QLD victory.

Heard that on the radio and I was like yes Laurie do it you stupid bastard.

 

[broncos4life]

fingers crossed daley is that stupid

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

Bellamy came out and said slater is looking at 3 - 4 weeks out and rates him next to no chance of playing origin 2.

Same article suggested that Meninga is thinking of using Milford or Boyd at fullback as opposed to Inglis. Surely hes not that dumb. Inglis at fullback was phenomenal last year. It HAS to happen if slater is out

 

[Broncoman]

Bad decision Hayne was superb at fullback in Game 1 and moving him to the centres would just be odd. I like Dugan though but I like Hayne at fullback more.

Surely he's just playing it up for the media..Though I know he's no fan of Inglis at fullback.. No clue why
Put Milford on the bench as an insurance policy and we're good.

Here's hoping Hayne goes to the centre!!!!! My god... Lol

 

[Qlder88]

After this week's round, would the priority be to maybe put Hunt on the bench over Milford?

Edit: McGuire put forward a good case this week to be picked and news this morning says dce should be right for game 2

 

[Harry Sack]

With Dugan supposedly playing in the Centres for the Dragqueens tonight, I think he's the more likely option there for NSW. Daley is not that stupid.....surprisingly.

Question is, is Mal not surprisingly stupid for putting anyone but Inglis at fullback should Slater not play?

He'll probably go worse at defending against GI than Hoppa, so that's good news. The best case scenario would be Hayne playing in the centres. I hope we give Tate GI's spot if Slater is injured and bring in Copley or Vidot (if Vidot is eligible).

I'm looking forward to see how DCE goes with a proper preparation going into the game. I can't see JT and him having two ordinary games in a row.
