You lost me at Woods (though he did play okay for a change). McGuire would definitely be there based on game 1. Luckily teams aren't selected on the back of 1 game.

Isnt this the time when all the QLDers scream about conspiracy etc etc??
Too funny. Clearly should have been suspended but, oh thats right its origin, all rules go out the window.
regardless of offence or offender, The Wallace charge gets a week under normal circumstancesDip wrote:Lol. Comparing Wade Graham, a repeat offender with carryover and 50% loading trying to take off JT's head, with Wallace, who was out of position after Ayshford changed direction after a forward pass went to ground.

While this is the origin thread and opinions can sometimes be heated and somewhat one eyed I think both NSW and QLD have both received some leniency at times regarding origin players. While this is not always the case, there are examples from both sides of the border. I might have to do some more research on the matter to refresh my memory however didn't Josh Reynolds escape suspension one year (I think it was a tripping charge or something) and suited up for NSW that week?Pieman wrote:Wallace got off..

Was no worse than what McGuire did to Fifita on Origin 1, when he was held and couldn't see it coming.
Regardless of changing direction its still a shoulder charge to the head and neck areaDip wrote:
No it doesn't. Sam Burgess and Jorge Taufau got off for virtually identical scenarios. Add to it that Ayshford was actually well ahead of the ball when he changed direction into Wallace, you would have ran behind him had he not done that. That gets let off every day of the week at the Judiciary. Show me one like it that wasn't dismissed.

I tend to agree if I am being honest.
But i'd like to think that this outcome was purely based on common sense prevailing.
It's honestly the stupidest fucking rule in the game and realistically does SFA to protect players anyway - would love to see some decent research on whether it has had any effect on players welfare because one thing for sure is that suspending blokes for incidental contact is by definition a waste of time.

the reason i like his selection is because QLD don't need to win the forward battle to win, they just limit the damage and slow us down, the periods they are on top, they still have the clearly superior spine to put enough points on the board
their bench will be under alot of pressure but ultimately its a much better team then game 1
starting cooper next to JT and moving papali to the middle over myles is massive upgrade to the starting team, as always first 20 will be vital and while the maroon bench is a bit of a ? their starting pack is good enough to match ours

Death.
Taxes.
OSM claiming incidental contact when a player shoulder charges someone and hits said target in the head.
