Why change anything? Keep the same team

Baring injuries or suspensions, NSW be the same 17.

I would have Jake Trbojevic starting at 13. I would’ve had that game 1 also though.

Not sure NSW can change their team, Freddy needs to talk to Roberts who didn't seem interested
I think Roberts was injured, they had vision of him walking off when Peachey replaced him and he was visibly limping (he did his achilles(?) a week or so back so I am thinking it wasn't ready)

Roberts was the only player who didn't really have an impact on the game from NSW.

Considering how much ball Turbo had you would think Roberts had a big game but Turbo went looking to be apart of everything. Turbo was one of our best. Credit to him - I thought he would be a liability in defence and too lanky for Origin but he proved me wrong.

No changes for NSW.
QLD need to have Slater, Gillett, Scott and definitely Ponga high on their list of changes.

No changes to NSW but I'd give Klem more game time we got dominated in the last 20 mins of the 1st half when he came off.

first change should be to have it on Fox......Rabs and Gould make me want to stab myself in the ears! Rabs the senile old fuck has no idea what's going or who's even out there
Couldn’t agree more. I never watch 9 anymore and it’s times like last night that reminds me why!

Phil Gould constantly praising Maloney was doing my head in. Maloney was a big player in most of our plays agreed. But Qld’s final score could have been 0 if Maloney hadn’t gifted them all 12 points.

Roberts wasn't 100% fit- a couple of weeks and he'll be all good.

I was reading the Courier Mail this morning for a laff, and in the comments section re last night's game, one person actually suggested QLD pick..... Jason Taumalolo.

Whilst I appreciate QLD has some rubbery selection criteria, but that might be a stretch even for them.

NSW won't change barring injury or suspension.

QLD I can't agree. This would be my side...

JDB did well. Look at his defence in the first 20 and last 20...note QLD were on top when he was on the bench!
That's like saying QLD didn't score when Klemmer was on the field. Does that make Klem the best defender?

There was a good reason Fittler put JDB on in the last 20. JDB is Jackson but better. Jackson is a very very good club player and there isn't anything wrong with that. He'll be great for us long-term but in Origin you need something else. It's either him or Cordner and Cordner is the captain so he aint getting that spot. Then you look at the lock and JTrobojvic and JDB are better, the first one is the national lock, and JDB the form lock. It isn't happening.

Jackson isn't a bench player, he's rubbish in that role.

Jackson to replace Creighton and Aitken to replace Roberts.
If you want to replace Crighton (which you won't)- Tariq Sims is a better choice, more impact. Aitken won't replace Roberts, you won the game, give Roberts at least the whole series.
