Something else - QLD do not have a noted goal kicker. They may need to pick Holmes over Boyd just for his ability to goal kick. Other than that, there isn't really any noted kickers.

Maybe Kevy told Smith he is considering DCE and thats why Smith has rage quit.

Macca will be the hooker for QLD.

Good call. Interesting times ahead.

That’s a really good point. Munster used to kick in QCup didn’t he?

Is JTrbo playing one less game still a better option for overall points?
Anyone think he will play some reduced minutes around his origin games?

Surgess started the game on fire & nearly scored a big point try. He did miss game time with a hia assessment but after he came back after the hia I thought he wasn't as busy as pre hia. Maybe the head knock had an affect on him.

Yeah Munster can kick.

Need to fix up my centres ( GI and Issako)

should i do

Thompson--> Fonua then Gi --> Mitchell

Deadset Brad Fittler must think he is the luckiest guy going around at the moment. Picks up the job when all three protagonists from the last decade retire at once and suddenly NSW players are killing it for their clubs. Feel sorry for Daley who got shunted a year before they all retired.

Surely with NSW players in form, QLD players/club teams out of form, 3 of QLD's greatests (and two future immortals) retiring at the same time ...... and not having to play at Suncorp until Game 3, EVERYTHING points towards a resounding NSW series victory.

If the NSW boys don't win this year, then they should be taken out the back and shot!

All of this is adding up to an epic Queensland victory

It hurts so much that I agree with you

Seriously though, I wonder if this changes DCE's chances, if it is true that Smith did not want DCE, and did not get along with him..

DCE is the best 7 QLD have.

I still think probably not, but it does make me a little nervous about bringing him in this week.

Well fuck now I don't know whether to get him in or not.

Interesting that it is Macca vs Friend this week. They'd be the only two in serious consideration, even though Friends form is way off.

I reckon Smith told Kevvie he was considering this earlier in the season, hence Kevvie leaving the Broncos.

Why would it affect his job at the Broncos?

When he quit he said he didn't want his affiliation with the Broncos affecting his origin selections.

Obviously now, the Maroons need a new 9, and may need to pick Holmes over Boyd.

Why do people say shit like this? Have they ever seen NSW play before?

Kev should be picking DCE.

why? he's myth at origin level, Queensland's answer to Mitchell Pearce

Could they play hunt at 9 with Morgan at 6? Dunno just a thought outside the box

Hasn't ever really had a fair go though. Just like with Pearce he's being compared unfairly to JT and Cronk.
