They say this every year and what happens. Qld winNot one QLD forward would make the NSW starting lineup

Wallace is QLD's only prop averaging more then 100m, Napa hasn't got any plodders to put a hit onid agree with that but dosnt mean nsw is going to destroy them. napa, wallace and mcguire are more then capable of taking it to the middle forwards and love the tough stuff
Yeah cant see them leaving Oates out.Oates is a beast how do they leave him out..
This backline is better
Slater
Holmes
Inglis
Gagai
Oates
Yeah don’t agree ponga is in way better form than Morgan but his biggest attribute is the fact that at 23 he can take control of a match and prove to be the difference.ponga was the first u14 kid to ever be selected into the U15 Qld’ side he’s a cut above and always has been he’s built for origin and the sooner he’s in the side the better for Qld for mineThe problem with this line of thought is who are you taking off to put Ponga on?
Slater is the best fullback the game has seen in the last 30 years so it won't be him. So who? He's not an Origin half, and he'd be a midget on the wing.
If the score is 2-0 to NSW going into game 3, I'd probably blood him but until then, no.
I don’t see the point of having a specialist fullback on the bench. It was silly when qld chucked Bowen on the bench and it’s just as silly now.Yeah don’t agree ponga is in way better form than Morgan but his biggest attribute is the fact that at 23 he can take control of a match and prove to be the difference.ponga was the first u14 kid to ever be selected into the U15 Qld’ side he’s a cut above and always has been he’s built for origin and the sooner he’s in the side the better for Qld for mine
Ponga played his whole junior career at 6 and 7 he’s not a “specialist” full backI don’t see the point of having a specialist fullback on the bench. It was silly when qld chucked Bowen on the bench and it’s just as silly now.
Ponga will play in 2019 when Slater retires from SOO after this year
Morgan is a better bet playing 6 or 7 in an Origin match. Ponga hasn't even played in the halves at club level.Ponga played his whole junior career at 6 and 7 he’s not a “specialist” full back
No it isn't as Gagai is a terrible defender. Will Chambers is better than Oates.Oates is a beast how do they leave him out..
