2. Oates
3. Chambers
4. Morgan

6. Thurston
7. Cronk
He's not exactly in the best form but can be dynamite with Thurston. Could be one of the safer options.
Using slater performance against the Knights as a catalyst to propel him into the Maroons side is like saying the Warriors are back after beating the broncs. Sure it's impressive but it's all smoke and mirrors
Probably Can Smith's worst ever Origin game, if he didnt rush up on Maloney, NSW wouldn't have got that try at the half time mark we go into the half 4-6. NSW probably would have won but it would have been closer I'd expect for a bounce back performance along with the forwards pack for game 2.
I think it would be a huge mistake by Queensland to bring in Slater and stick with the old guys like Myles, we want a crop of players for the next 5 years. Bring some fresh forward into the mix cause honestly they couldn't do any worse than the display tonight. NSW did the same for their current...
Are you actually basing your statement off the mean average stats by the top-lime props or just assuming? Both Blair and Sims present average to above average stats in comparison to the 'top-line' props.
That's a bit of a cookie cutter statement, Lockyer is a five eighth, Myles is a forward. Myles performance can be directly attributed to his stats, meters gained, missed tackles, tackles. Stats aren't the be all and end all but they can sure give an indication.
I recall Ben Barba getting the same thing done to him against the titans a couple years back costing us the gsme, moral of the story is catch the ball kids.
