Harrison � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Gower
TBA � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Menzies

pretty good looking sides.

I think the Queensland selectors have done the right thing by naming Bowen in the starting side ... he plays much better when he starts in the run on side. When he was brought on in games 1 and 2, he slotted in at hooker, forcing Smith off the field. This really left big holes in our ruck defence ... something Johns and co exploited fully.

looking forward to seeing who the TBA player for QLD is going to be �

�Wally Lewis perhaps � :P

I might even watch this one

**Jarro** · 27th June 2005 08:02 PM

good onya Goughy :P

**3oneday** · 27th June 2005 08:34 PM

QLD side looks good, good to see Nutley get a run, he won't have played for 2 weeks though, but deserves a spot.

All academic anyway, BLUES WIN SERIES

**Onewood** · 27th June 2005 09:09 PM

I can hear the Queensland press already

"IT WAS A BIG MISTAKE LEAVING SLATER OUT"

Gives them an out I spoz

Have I mentioned THE MIGHTY BLUES in this thread yet

**brad** · 28th June 2005 09:51 AM

I think Qld have the right idea with having Bowen run on. This way he gets crunched early while the Blues forwards are at full steam

GO THE BLUES!

**andylo** · 28th June 2005 10:02 AM

I will go Perth

2 words for you -

JOEY JOHNS

**Jarro** · 28th June 2005 11:25 AM

Haha

I watched some of the Storm game on Saturday night and Billy was on fire. A hat trick before half time doesn't get him a game?

I am not suffering from insomnia and so will not be able to stay awake long enough to watch this game.

**Courty** · 28th June 2005 06:26 PM

I think Nutley is an excellent choice. His workhorse style of play is well-suited for Origin. He'll go well.
I'm a bit mystified as to Slater missing out. It seems such a shame to leave him out, it's not like he was out of form.

But I agree Bowen needs to be on the field from the kickoff.

As for the Blues, they won't go wrong with Gower in the side. He's as tough as nails, and if Priddis gets in (I expect Buderus won't play), the combination they bring around the ruck could be fatal for QLD.
Hoewver, I thought that Tahu was a surprise. I know he has played well at this level before, but if you go by the NSW 'supposed' ethic of picking on form (just like with Joey Johns �

) then the wing position should have been filled by Tahu's opposite winger, Eric Grothe Jr. The man is a machine.

Sounds like this Queenslander is having a little each way,

Get off the fence all you QLDers and come out and BAG the Queensland selectors for dropping Slater

This !!! "I think they've done the right thing", "Bowen is better starting"

It's all making me cry

What about a bit of GUS bashing to get your mind back onto the real thing here

A SERIES WIN FOR THE MIGHTY BLUES

I was merely being objective. Of course Queensland will win. That's a given.

**mike** · 28th June 2005 10:20 PM

Slater's omission is an odd move. At this level, Bowen is more dangerous coming on as an interchange now and then when the forewards are getting tired.
He'll get smashed early and the blues will win easy.

**Jarro** · 5th July 2005 06:57 PM

look out Joey ..... Tonie Carroll wants to meet you

**Eag's** · 5th July 2005 07:20 PM

Can't wait for this one

Thank god I finish work at 7pm tomorrow night

Hopefully Johns will get smashed early on and our forwards dominate

My score prediction Queensland18 Blues 6

**Onewood** · 6th July 2005 09:02 PM

Guess who found a Dial up connection

GO YOU MIGHTY BLUES

PS
Got to Townsville at 3.30pm all safe and sound

**Jarro** · 6th July 2005 09:42 PM

what a crappy performance by the QLD boys

**andylo** · 6th July 2005 09:46 PM
