Yep Api was so much better.

I think latrell comes in for crichton and then wighton to the bench in place of talakai. Cook stays on bench

Not what I'd choose but what I see them doing

I'd bring latrell straight into the side and bring in wighton for circhton. Cook and crichton miss out.
We scored 1 try when Api was on and 6 when Cook was on

Theyre 2 different games (the periods they were on)

Api was on when both teams are arm wrestling and bashing each other up, its a tight affair.

Cook came on after Api helped our forwards get the dominance

I just don’t think you can afford to have a specialist hooker on the bench. If Teddy went down yesterday we had no cover for fullback. Fittler needs to rethink his bench

Two hookers a must for game 3. It worked perfectly. Bring back Latrell, he covers fullback. Wighton on bench basically covers everywhere

Talakai to centre and Crichton to fullback.

Though that's another reason why Latrell Mitchell should play game 3.

I rewatched the game and the only NSW Changes I'd make are Crichton & Tupou out for Mitchell & JAC. Everyone else plays the same role. That means Mitchell & JAC would play right edge.

Fittler can build a Blues dynasty if we wins up in QLD. He will go down as one of the most legendary coaches in Blues history.

Wighton in for Crichton! The obsession with Trell has to stop. He has done nothing since getting suspended last season.

He was literally our best player in last season's Origin series. Only haters don't want Latrell in the team.

I think QLD getting blown out in the 2nd half will lead to an ambush in the decider at Suncorp.. It wouldn't surprise me if QLD start off very strong and get a decent early lead. After how soft and embarrassing they were in that 2nd half, they'll be fired up.

I think they missed Cotter's defence a lot in game 2. Hopefully he can play game 3

Cotter makes them so much better.

He couldn't have been more impressive in game 1. Played 80 minutes and was tackling everything that moved while making an impact with the ball.
100% agree. Went up many levels in my eyes with that performance. Him and Carrigan are the first forwards I'd pick for Queensland. You were the first to call for him to play Origin. Credit to you.

In 2020, Fittler kept the exact same side that beat Queensland 34-10 in game two. Queensland won game three 20-14.
