Yeah the only decisions i'm indecisive about are:

- McManus
- Wing

Players who should have been selected somewhere:

- Monoghan
- Laffranchi
- Watmough
- Lewis

Falou would love these wingers...

Shattered at Kite's inclusion tbh. Whenever I see him cart the ball I'm reminded what Tugga Coleman used to yell out at the Souths forwards whenever Sirro took a hit up - "Here she comes boys!"

Luke Lewis is so unlucky to always be selected as 18th man.

I think the side is fantastic really. a little worried as a QLDer really.

**** me. Uate is the biggest ******* disgrace to the name 'footballer'.

And Travis Burns is a ******* cheat.

Is that really the squad?

QLD will be paying $1.01 which is a worry. Don't really like it when we go in raging favourites.

Trust me, Queensland don't have this tied up.
I wasn't saying we did. I was just stating due to the new faces in the NSW side and (I'm assuming) QLD will pick a side that resembles the teams that have won the last 3 in a row QLD will go in heavy favourites - as they should.

However, with new faces comes no baggage and nothing to lose really. Of course if they go 0-1 down, the pressure will be on not to be the first side to lose 4-in-a-row.

QLD will definitely have to be on their game, and not ****y or over confident. I don't think Mel will let them, but they do need to be very careful.

Not watching, what did Uate do? Blokes a gun afaic
- Can't tackle.
- Can't run in a straight line unless it's painted on the ground in front of him.
- Can't stay on his man in defense, always (and I mean always) moves in to mark the centre leaving his winger open.
- Wouldn't know how to hold onto a ball to save himself.

The only thing he has better than Vuna is his speed.

Anyway, Newcastle shooting themselves in the feet far too much, that coupled with some harsh calls allowing NQLD to run away with it. At least they're having their worst game now rather then later on in the season.

Yeah. Really on paper Queensland should win, but if Queensland are ****y about it, it won't be so easy.

And right on cue Mander gives an identical put down to Thurston a try, having denied the Knights one early doors.

No wonder people go mad at the officials in this game. Mander a God-botherer to boot.

I think it is impossible for Queensland to be favourites. You can bet your bottom dollar that will be believing that NSW are the favourites.

Best NSW team in a long time. Still think we will win but well done to the selectors picking 8 debutants.
