Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3277589, member: 9052"] I think if NSW are to win then it will be Teddy and Cook through the middle causing all the damage... I'm not sure on the NSW halves pairing. Unless Freddy tries to do something to completely alter the way Cleary and Luai play then Luai could just be sitting on his left edge waiting for the ball to come to him. For qld I think our spine is actually better balanced... Munster and DCE know their roles in origin pretty well now. Harry looks an absolute star... although there will be concerns around him getting through the 80. I would've started with Reed and brought Harry off the bench at about the 30mins mark.... he's been absolutely slaughtering teams for the storm coming off the bench. Fullback becomes a bit of an issue for qld with Ponga out and Val being 50/50 on sweep plays. NSW back row is lessened due to the omissions of Radley and Crichton compared to Tariq and Murray (playing out of position). I don't mind qld's back row of Fifi, Kaufusi and Arrow coming up against NSW's, although I would prefer Capewell in the back row over Kaufusi. I also like our starting front row of Tino and Welch up against DSaif and Jurbo. Unfortunately Qld's bench is brought waaaay down by the inclusion of Offa compared to NSW's bench of Haas and Paulo Should be an interesting game and could be pretty close... just have to wait and see what the refs get up to. I suspect they will put the whistle in the pocket and any penalties will be made up straight away. Although for Game 1 the ref usually likes to blow a couple early so everyone thinks it's the same rules as NRL, but then they just put it away never to be heard again. [/QUOTE]
