Pick guys who work their arses off imo. Said it last year - of course it helps with the backs Qld has, but check their forwards out. They win because they do the little things so well.
Loose ball? They fall on it.
Someone misses a tackle? They cover for one another.
Pinned on their line? They get back and take it up faster than we do.
Other team has a good kicking game? Their forwards harrass the crap out of them.

There really isn't that much between players at Origin level. I mean, I bag these blokes but they can all play ffs. You don't reach that level if you can't.

But honestly, when has a wide-running, rangy back rower ever won you an Origin? The job's done in tight. Which is nice if you're with a lady, and pretty important when you're on a footy field too.

Creagh has gone alright in general in Origin. Reckon Lewis has something to offer at lock as a ball playing forward. He's best when the opposition is being well pushed back but offers nothing when his team has no momentum. A pack needs balance, and ours had very little last night.

Hey blewy what do you reckon about McKinnon joining the Tigers for the rest of the year?

He really looks past it to me, but I guess you never know what a change of scenery can do. Didn't think Beau Ryan was doing too badly for your blokes on what I'd seen either.

If anyone gets a chance to read it, there's a great piece by Jason Taylor int eh SMH today about Hindmarsh and the way he covers ground onteh footy field, citing his try saver vs Manly last week (which I didn't see as I was OS ftr) as an example.

I'd post a link but can't seem to find it. Essentially though, the bloke tracked back about 70 metres, staying alive after making the previous tackle, and pulled off a try saver on two metres from his own line.

Now, I'm his biggest fan and admit to bias, but that's the sort of desperate **** NSW need in their forwards if they are going to beat Qld.

Yeah read that a bit earlier today. Very good article. He essentially takes down 2 players by forcing Lyon into a pass and then cutting down the man he passes it to (Ballin). Didn't see it either ftr.

Changing Tip

Hindy ruled out in the warm-up.

Changing tip to Dragons.

****s now want to deny us a replacement. Hope Fui treads on some blow-in Dragon September choker's head.
