It looks like Inglis, Slater and DCE will play.

Will Dave taylor now come onto the bench with parker ruled out?

 

[Papa Emeritus]

To be honest I hope they do. I want them to be as close to full strength as possible so people can't chalk a NSW win up to QLD being under strength.

 

[Bob dog]

If they don't win game 2 NSW should consider quitting the series and preserving the players for the clubs.
If the injury toll from game 1 is what winning SOO takes then its getting stupid.

 

[JORDZILLA]

keen for Wednesday night!

 

[Papa Emeritus]

My plan is to head to The Star

 

[Bad Billy]

Sooo pumped ! I hope Tate gets dropped on his head !

 

[coach]

Sooo pumped ! I hope Tate gets dropped on his head !

Yes then pull his ironing board of his back n hit him with it lol

Sam Kasiano won us this. DCE Unlikely to play.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

I'll believe DCE isn't playing when he doesn't run out onto the field.

It's a bit sad though I don't think they have a chance if he doesn't play, and everyone will just say that's why they lost.

Ben Hunt isnt too bad of a pick up tho.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

It's a pretty big ask though to debut in this situation.

 

[DoggiesUtd]

I don't think Hunt will play...chambers to centre...GI to 5/8th...slater at the back

 

[Bakes]

If we win game 2, can we just pay our halves not to play the 3rd game and just select some numpty halves from somewhere else? lol

 

[TJW]

I don't think Hunt will play...chambers to centre...GI to 5/8th...slater at the back

chambers has been released from camp to play tonight

 

[Nano]

T-Rex called in as 18th man for NSW!

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Queensland have confirmed that Slater will play fullback.
