Yeah but they need to lift that margin + an Inglis

State of Origin 3 stats preview: There's no such thing as a dead rubber

Probably. A part of me is optimistic that he will take a lesson from the Warriors in that regard to stack talent.

Either way I agree, Pelicans are the best fit for championships.

LeBron James and the Pelicans might be a perfect match

Agreed, if Lebron is focussed on rings he and PG need to sacrifice salaries and combine at the Pels, money can come later.

Frizell was dominating until he got moved to the middle

ORIGIN 1 RESULT: NSW Blues youngsters just too good for Queensland at the MCG

I still think Crowder should have been persisted with, the problem he was having was more often then not he was playing the 4 at 6’6, dude is lockdown perimeter defender, why play him inside? A line up of:
Hill
Crowder
LBJ
Green
….
is highly switchable and would cramp most modern small line ups

It's not about Jordan anymore

Dunno, that step back 3 is pretty signature

It's not about Jordan anymore

A lot of positions come down to this weekend.

1. Tedesco
2. Addo Carr/Cotric/Trbojevic
3. Mitchell/Dugan
4. Roberts/Aitken
5. Trbojevic/Ferguson/Dugan
6. Maloney
7. Cleary/Green
8. Klemmer
9. Cook
10. Vaughan
11. Cordner
12. Frizell
13. De Belin/Trbojevic

14. Peachey
15. Trbojevic/De Belin
16. RCG
17. Crichton

VOTE: Pick your NSW Blues team for Origin 1

Boyd represents a system that won’t work this year Very easy to be loyal to a team featuring 4 of the best players of all time in their repective positions. Boyd is simply outclassed by multiple options at this point.

Obviously there are other problems QLD face, the prospect of no entrenched brains trust, an elite goal kicker, the terribly balanced halves combination of Munster and Morgan, a fairly weak forward pack etc

Even without Smith, Queensland’s 17 are more than a match for the Blues

Boyd will get picked, QLD will get belted and then Holmes will be brought in. Could be the same story with Matt Scott

Even without Smith, Queensland’s 17 are more than a match for the Blues

I have Peach just ahead of Wing for pure versatility

The young guns ready for Origin

Hi Jay, I wasn’t having a go at your list, I was thinking at the time of my comment about the ongoing FOX narrative (Anasta, Matty, Gaz) of NSW picking McInnes and Cook and being frankly baffled how they rarely seem to mention Peachey

The young guns ready for Origin

Yep, if form holds up I think Cook is the man with Peachey on the bench

The young guns ready for Origin

What has Peachey got to do to be mentioned for the bench utility role?

Bugger having 2 speciality hookers in the team, 1 who MAY be able to cover the inside backs at a stretch when you could have arguably the most versatile footy player ever?

The young guns ready for Origin

Morgan played Center.
QLD should pick Morgan instead of GI and
6. Munster
7. Taylor

Queensland must move past star Origin duo: Cameron Smith

I think its going to be less Woods vs Hess and more Hess and Papalii vs Jackson and Trbojevic. Irresistible forces vs Immovable objects

State of Origin 2: Stand by for a Maroons backlash

Think you’d be surprised

The Queensland dynasty is over

They say Cronk is just as fast as Slater over 20 meters

The Queensland dynasty is over

Surely that award goes to Kane Linnett

Don't stuff about Laurie, this is your Origin XVII

Gould needed to give that after Smiths dismissal yesterday

Australia vs Pakistan highlights: Cricket scores, blog, 3rd Test - Day 5

Thurston is the man based on reputation. Maloney was a key contributor to taking the Sharks to the premiership this year and, in my opinion had a more consistent year then Thurston did – despite the fact it was his first year with the club.

Give Maloney another crack.

Make Moylan fullback for the rest of the Four Nations

And your comment has proven that a bowel movement that hasn’t been disposed of properly can learn to use the Internet.

Make Moylan fullback for the rest of the Four Nations

Boyd won’t be in the top 5 fullbacks next season.

For mine, if selection was based on form and not reputation – Maloney deserves the 6 over Thurston

Make Moylan fullback for the rest of the Four Nations

Or in my case the NSW Blues, Wallabies AND Bulldogs supporter

Highlights: All Blacks win the Bledisloe Cup, yet again

“Fairly” not easily, I’m laying a lot of faith in how Wallace has made the transition recently admittedly but something about the concept rings true for me (not that it should be a basis for selection).

The future of NSW Origin

TruBlu, the comparison I found interesting was Pearce to Buderus
