Here!

Wing's expected to be ruled out today, so the selectors,understandably, will replace a fine utility player with a winger/ centre in Morris from Canterbury.

Qld by 80.

Shame for Wing, but I think Farah is an 80 minute player. I reckon NSW could and should go TLL (unless he's too stuffed from playing yesterday) - If a back gets injured move Creagh to the centres, .

Really dire if NSW selectors pick a player who had a bye this weekend..

Actually I bet NSW go for Ben Hornby, not such a bad option really.

Hornby > Morris for the utility role, surely.

I'd really have liked TLL to have been in that side somewhere.

 

[howardj]

I give up.

Who is TLL?

I give up.

Who is TLL?

He's a Maroon FFS.

Like Greggy Inglis.

Don't forget Folau. **** grew up playing touch footy in Minto with Jarryd Hayne FFS.

So you're saying Hayne should be in the QLD team too!

 

[Burgey]

Hayne > Folau

Can't stand the hype Falou gets where there at least 5/6 backs in the game better than him (IMO).

 

[Simon]

Folau is a great finishing winger, best in the game. No way can he be compared to someone like Hayne who plays a totally different role. Folau's competitors are more like David Williams, James McManus, Steve Turner, Brett Morris who are just tryscoring outside backs and Folau is streets in front of them all.

Except the others have occasionally scored tries from >10 metres out.

I thought Brisbane signed him as a centre originally? I mean, if you're shelling out that much $, you wouldn't want him on the wing would you? It's a bit of a conundrum I imagine, because he's so strong in the air that you'd want him wider on the last, but as close as possible for th erest of the attacking set.

Yeh I agree, was kind of my point. At this stage Folau is nothing but a tryscoring winger (albeit an awesome one), if we expect him to become a great centre or anything then he needs to improve all parts of his game.
