u watch, although Frawley is out now, and Jason Smith is apparently going to play so that leaves raiders with a backline of
Schifcofske
Goodwin
Ale
Howell
Robertson
Smith
Withers

Gee, must be sending a shiver down the Cowboys collective spine. Cowboys might have Webb out, but they get their captain Norton back.

Schifcofske or Slater. no one else is worthy atm...

Totally agree. I would have Shifcofske 1, Slater 2, then daylight, then Hunt, followed by more daylight, then the rest.

But, with Slater's 3 tries on the weekend, he will play.

Considering Bowen scored a couple tries and Schifcofske scored none and made no line breaks, i can't see them dropping Bowen for Schifcofske. His best chance is replacing Ty Williams, but you would think that Hodges is infront of him doing that after Jonathan Thurston is kicking for goals now.

Shifcofske's value to the Origin side is not just his goalkicking, he is the best defensive fullback in the competition, or Qlds at least, and he is not devoid of attacking brilliance. He should be there.

Qld Selectors have dropped Slater, Carlaw & McGuire and have only announced a team of 17, with the final player to be selected after next week's matches.

Crazy stuff....

There goes the series....

Yeah, all but gone. Good to see Harrison in there, Nutley too, but they are the only positive moves. Anasta & Johns will be loving it - Bowen and Williams at the back - bomb-a-thon. Sing won't see any of the ball, because the attack won't go out his way. Tahu will go out to Williams' side, and Bowen will get turned around and crunched everytime he gets the ball.

Carlaw mad 2 hit ups last origin (from memory)...so hardly a big loss for you guys, but WTF are the NSW selectors doing picking Tahu, i mean he has just missed about a month of footy and then was very average against Stuarts team on friday night...Guyer from the storm would have been a much better option imo.

Yeah, or even Adam MacDougall (sp).
