I really would be happy if THE FOX is in, and Burton plays at least off the bench.

Not sure how Taulagi gets picked, I would have gone Gagai centre and hammer on the wing. Hammer is going to struggle containing Trell. Val copped an absolute bath on the weekend and Turbo is hitting his straps at the right time...

Saying that, QLD will probs win 3-0 now lol

We only won 2021 due to Latrell and Turbo.

They absolutely destroy the qld centres.

If Hynes doesn't start, I don't know how Freddy injects him into the game. Can't see him playing 9 and if Yeo went down, we have Murray to cover lock and Frizzo back row. Only way is maybe he Subs Api, Romey to 9 and Hynes to 6...

Don't fully understand the TPJ inclusion where Olakawatu has been playing better and could easily fill that space TPJ would play.

It's surprising that they dropped Ponga, even if Walsh deserves it on form.. QLD usually show loyalty so not seeing Ponga and Gagai there is surprising. I also thought Horse deserved a bench spot.

Capewell is probably the unluckiest and biggest surprise. He's still playing well for Brisbane and has always played well for QLD. Plus he can cover in the centres if there is an injury.

I need to make a I’m sorry TPJ post

I said his ambition to make state of origin….more like state of oranges

I clearly underestimated Freddy madness

Probably the same way Storm used him, just bring him on in the middle.
