Care factor (me) 0

(just joking with yas mongie) :p

Glad they dropped who they did. They haven't had the form to warrant selection.

Still no prince f***s sake. and horse c*** is still in.

I would have preferred to drop karmichael to fullback, shift bslater to the wing. Prince on the bench.

qld will still lose anyway ^

Agreed that the changes for both sides are reasonable, Price will add alot of experience to the QLD forward lineup and Ashley Harrison is in some decent form, Marsh and Lillyman contributed very little anyway. It's a shame that Prince missed out, but it's probably worthwhile having Hunt on the bench as his combination with Lockyer (as seen vs the Eels) is fantastic.

Not delighted with Simpson taking Cross's spot for the Blues, I would've preffered to see Luke Bailey or O'Meley. Good to see Gidley get a game too, he's been solid for the Knights for a few seasons now and deserves his spot. It will be interesting to see if Gasnier is able to play, he'll be a huge loss for the Blues with apparently Monaghan in line for his centre position, Hayne looks likely to miss game 2 as well.

Nobody has commented on Boyd.

I reckon hes in good form, he should do well...

i better not put another 700k down on qld in case i jinx them again.

Nobody has commented on Boyd.

I reckon hes in good form, he should do well...

He's just a winger, they aren't that important unless you f*** everything up like Tate.

f***ing tant

nsw will needs monaghans size if folau and inglis fire

ahahha lockyer is not only not what hes cracked up to be on a good day, hes form is worse then ever. so glad qld selectors have their heads up the broncos asses or you qlder might stand a chance. as it is, clean sweep is likely, but the reffing in qld is so bias it will probably 2-1 NSW

^ best troll evar

the reffing in qld? they are national league refs. you need a cluepon.

hopefully the qld forwards will actually gain some metres this game so the backs have something to work with.

National league refs who are all from nsw.

WTF Steve Price to start on the bench, and k.hunt to start at 5/8th again.

lose

YOU f***ING LOSE

you pathetic excuse of a queenslander

stand by your team no matter what, cause tommorrow night, when they win, you'll change your story, and say how good they were and realise what a stupid f***en d******* you were on here.

haha, righteo...

why play k.hunt out of position. it didnt work last time, Hang on lets try that winning formula again!

Hopefully QLD get a bit of team synergy going this time around. There was nothing last game. It just seemed like a bunch of individual players on the same side as opposed to a team.

that lineup needs a refresh Mongie.

Edit, here is the current lineup:

Sorry but I haven't been keeping up with current affairs due to 8(!) exams.

No Lockyer and Hodges? Bit concerning. But if Cam Smith fires and with Pricey included, could be very interesting.

I have a really important counselling exam Thurs morn, so it's gonna be one late night after origin... better not lose or I'll be gutted.
