Looking at the forwards for both teams, you've got to admit Qld have far greater depth.

They're will be many guys who miss out for QLD who have done the job in the past. Fotuika, Collins, Cotter, Horsburgh, Arrow, Flegler...these are their backups too Welch, Tino and Carrigan. NSW have Haas, sounding like TPJ and Yeo. Not many other promising NSW Origin forwards...
If TPJ is getting a spot NSW stocks are very low
He will be a liability in defence for the blues, he was completely gassed after 5 mins in a club game against the titans :laughing: :laughing:

Good on him. Hopefully makes him a more consistent player for us at club level.

I think Ciraldo cottoned on to something today by starting Hughes and moving TPJ to lock. TPJ is not a first tackle prop. Need him taking the 3rd, 4th or 5th carry like Taumalolo.

TPJ will line up at prop if he plays. Hudson Young is a backrower and the blues are stacked there
Thanks captain obvious. I know what positions they play. NSW isn’t stacked at any position in the forwards.

Good on him if he gets picked, might come back in his best form.

If he gets picked and Tina gets off, I'd love nothing more than TPJ to flatten him out.

Also Freddy has rocks in his head if he picks Cooked over Api.

Supposedly Api will be hooker with Cook out of the squad and Hynes on the bench.

Hynes is the perfect utility. He can play every position except front row.

Bloke can dominate a game but 1/2 a good game and gets selected?

Absolute left field selection.

He has moments of brilliance but he’s also a hothead and can cause a team to lose.

I think Fittler really rolled the dice on this one.

Hope he does well. Stays injury free and doesn’t take anyone’s head off and gets suspended. Like others have said motivation is always one of his issues. If you can’t fire up for origin and if it doesn’t lift you to the next level then nothing much will.

To be honest I am a fan and he is our most damaging (only damaging?) forward. So I always hope he saw out his contract. But even for me it’s frustrating to see him go missing.
