    Yeah but it's confirmed Ponga is in. Glasby is only there as cover for Napa who is under an injury cloud.
     
  2. AVA T Delonge

    Glasby -> hooker obv.

    I get the feeling Slater is in a bit of doubt. Or they're at the very least concerned that he'll hurt himself again mid game.

    Goates being robbed.

    How do I like this twice?

    Holmes to fullback, Oates off the bench to wing. if he doesn't get hurt, oates can play as another forward. ponga off the bench is stupid.. he needs the space fullback provides and i do not want him defending in the middle

    You're on drugs. Holmes is about 5th choice fullback.

    Gonna feel so odd watching an Origin game on a weekend.

    For as long as I've really followed Rugby League it's been on a Wednesday night.

    Will be interesting to see what the ratings are like.

    if slater gets injured during the game and ponga wasn't on the bench.. surely holmes goes to fullback
     
  10. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Inglis and Munster would go there before him. Milford too from the game 1 team.
     
  11. Cribbage RG Cribb

    In Toolman's hypothetical, Oates is on the bench. So Milford won't go there because he won't be playing, and Munster won't go there because Oates sure as hell isn't going to play in the halves. Inglis... maybe.

    Never gonna happen.

    Boys have gotta have a better crack defensively. I’m amazed we only got 22 put on us after missing 50 tackles. Attack has gotta improve as well. I don’t remember a single well-executed shift out to our wingers.
     
  14. AVA T Delonge

    So Chambers has been dropped and Qld are running a 4 forward bench. Should be interesting to see how they keep up the intensity and whether they can keep that middle third tighter with less tired big boys running around.

    Hmm, or maybe not. He was missing from the team photo but that might not be definitive

    This would make zero sense
     
  16. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Goates would be in there if Chambers was dropped. No way they play Ponga on the sting.

    Fuck I'm so happy for Prior. Legend of a bloke. Feel like a dad proud of his son haha
     
  18. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    With a hint of shame knowing he shouldn't be there?
     
  19. Wilson SB Wilson

    Nope well deserved.
     
  20. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    He's no Ryan James.
