It’s wet down here today so who does that help? If NSW play it in the middle third and hold the ball will that tire out Queensland and leave them with no gas at the end and a back on the bench. Kicking game is going to be vital in the wet and not running anywhere near the sideline. Walsh needs to run not pass because it will put pressure on his outside men near the sideline. Make the break first then pass. If Queensland win it’s on the edge when they create those 3 v 3 that Walsh craves the last two series that’s where they have created space and time with ball movement. If New South Wales win it’s through the middle with Madge bashing Queensland and tiring them out. Bellamy said he struggled with Origin coaching because he didn’t play and couldn’t draw on that like Mal- so he ran it like a club with analytics and picked a club team- I see some of that in Madge. Billy has picked an Origin side. It’s a real Queensland 80’s pack of forwards, Cotter, Collins, Nanai all skillful and mobile. You can see Vautin, Lindner, Fullerton-Smith and Neibling right there.
