I wonder if Billy will risk Ponga at centre. Can't be worse than Holmes.
Mahoney needs to play an origin to hit final form of grub.Have read a few times Qld has picked Reed Mahoney 18th man
No idea how Fifita doesn’t make the squad.
No one on their bench is an impact player, it’s flat as hell. Slater really has some beef with him.
NSW forward pack is going to destroy QLD with Haas up front, hard runners Martin and Angus on the edge and Leniu and Barnett on the bench. Jurbo will obviously do all the defense work.
I dont think Watson offers much. There has to be someone better.
No Latrell is a massive loss for Blues, he seems to perform better for this sort of games.
Doubt it. When he started 2023 at 6 and had to defend in the front line, his defensive frailties were exposed numerous times.
Centre on each side is just about the most important position in the backline from a defensive standpoint.
As a utilty? Name them and don't say Burton. Utility has to be able to cover 9 and no we aren't running Cam Murray at hooker lol
Burton to 6 with Luai to 9 covers hooker. Watson is an average footballer who shouldn't be anywhere near Origin.
