I think I might prefer QLD win. Hopefully ring in some changes with at least one of the Couchman's being on the bench.

QLD by 14
FTS: Hammer
MOTM: Ponga

Ponga was best on field by a mile while he was on in game 1.

Victor Fuking Radley is useless!! I don't give a fuk if he likes to socialise a lot. Let him do that but pick the better players for Origin!

So embarrassing. The following have to go:
  1. Radley
  2. Robson
  3. Lucas
  4. Staggs
  5. Strange or Woods
In their place:
  1. Toby Couchman
  2. Koroisau
  3. Olakau’atu
  4. Mitchell
  5. KF (because he can play hooker and in the halves:cool:) But in all seriousness, Cook could very well fill in on the bench.
The following need to be looked at very carefully.
  1. Barnett

Tedesco will get another chance after winning game 1 but compared to Ponga, he looks slow and tired. Roosters players are definitely favoured when it comes to selection for NSW every year. Though Mark N was probably NSW best.

Toby plays well every week. Ryan does too. But lets see him have an especially big game on Friday and force his name into calculations for the inevitable NSW changes.
 
That was poor by the Blues, the coach made quite a few mistakes with his selection and failure to recognise early in the 2nd half the game momentum had changed.

You cannot play injured players at the level no matter who they are our 6 and 7 were to my eye playing injured.

Lucas was non existent , api should have replaced Robson within the first 10 min of the 2nd half. Qld were far too good and quick especially in their backline. Our best was MN on the wing.

Good coaches take action when required not sit there like a stunned mullet. The body language of the 2 coaches told the tale.

Some changes are required just to be competitive in game 3.
