That article also says that Big Papa is ahead of him in the pecking order.

If I was picking for NSW with Hayne (probably), Stewart and now Tamou out I would go with Dugan at fullback and Tim Grant to slot in at prop.

I'm expecting Hayne to be named and Gordon/Dugan to be named as 18th man. Tamou is out but there is plenty of depth to replace him, maybe Fifita will get a call-up to the starting team, wonder if Aaron Woods or Aiden Tolman will get a call-up, I think both of them would perform very well at Origin level.

He's an outside chance, Daley has said he is earmarked for a call up if he is fit. I rate him very highly so if he's available I would definitely go with him. Aaron Woods is another good shout.

I originally tipped QLD to win game 2 but I've changed my mind.
Cronk is overrated in the origin arena and Thurston will crumble under pressure trying to do everything all by himself.
Forward pack is soft as ice cream.
No heart or passion.
NSW should beat them in most departments.
1 in a row!

I hope Hayne plays, that type of injury would be suspect coming back that early, he is a big chance of re injuring IMO.
I'm having second thoughts about Big Papa, he stunk the place up on Monday night, no doubt he would have been aware how close he is to selection and folded with the expectation (tried too hard). Maybe it was just an off night and he has got this week to impress, it will be interesting to see who wants it more between him and Taylor.

made a shit-tonne of metres and tackles though. more than 10m per run over 14 hitups is very impressive, and 35+ tackles IIRC. watching the game i was disappointed in his performance though, so its a bit of an odd one.
edit: nrlstats has taken his stats down about 15m from last time i checked, so nows hes at 138m/14 hitups. still impressive. 30 tackles, 5 tackle breaks, 1 linebreak.
and lets be honest - apart from parker and scott, all the QLD forwards stunk it up in game 1. in fact, they stunk it up for most of last years series as well.

Yeah, just had a look at his stats and they are good but all I seem to remember is a few too many errors and a couple of penalties. I thought at the time he may be trying a bit hard or feeling a bit of pressure.
The running stats are against us don't forget but I hope the guy has a blinder this week and forces Mal to pick him. Love to see him unleashed off the bench in Origin.
