Injury enforced changes for Qld for Game 2
Coates in for Cobbo
Nanai in for Gilbert
Fotuaika in for ArrowAJ Brimson and Corey Horsburgh the emergencies
Coates is a good replacement, although not the same x factor. Nanai needs to lift his game, but other Cowboys have, so potentially can get his head right, but to be honest I don't think NSW would fear that selection though. Big Mo Fo is a good selection, looking forward to seeing how he plays
-
Someone I'm suprised never gets a mention for Origin these days is Phillip Sami. I think he's a much better player than Coates.
-
Freddie hates Nicho Hynes confirmed. After not playing him in G1 until he was forced to centre, he's now been cut.
Mitch Moses in for Cleary
Reece Robson gets the bench spot
Latrell back for Crichton
TPJ cut for UtoikamanuLatrell, Murray and Martin still under injury cloud.
-
Far out Hynes being cut is a joke. As @mariner4life said, it's clear that Freddie has never liked him and Hynes got forced on him by the selectors.

If Nicho wasn't going to start in game 1, he should not have been picked. He only even got to play because of the head knock to Turbo. It was a terrible bench selection to start with. Freddy is a muppet. Robson a much better bench selection for an Origin game.
RCG obviously still hated by Panthers, sure just back from injury, but most consistent prop at this level for NSW.
Moses might just be the right choice for Origin, dont think he has the same natural gifts as Nicho, but is an angry little bloke with skills who can play with or without a 5/8 as demonstrated yesterday..which could be handy if Luai goes missing as is often the case. For whatever reason a souths/exsouths combo not deemed worthy which would have been scary.
Still for all their talk of combinations that were so important for game 1, that has been thrown completely out the door... for me, I don't think they honestly know what they wantBiggest winners Jason Demetriou and Kevin Walters
-
Robson a good pick i think, will go well.
Moses is there to kick and pass the ball to the centres (and not Teddy).
Apparently Walker isn't fit so that's why this selection is my guessFreddie is coaching for his job, so he's chucking everything at it, and relying on Latrell and Turbo to party like it's 2021

This should see the end of Freddie as coach.

Is that what he is? I just thought he was one of the many hangers on that would get on the beers win or lose.
-
Suuuuuck it
Freddie gone by morning. The blood letting down south is going to be fucking epic
Everyone. Is. Getting. Fired.
-
You know what's fucking awesome as a Qld supporter??
Thr most golden of golden generations retired. NSW should have made hay at that point. Instead Qld have done fucking better.
And now we are putting together a squad of pretty young guys who could play together for years
Coached by absolute legends who were all smart players and played for the best coaches. It's got sustained success written all over it
Meanwhile down south...

Mrs Crazy Horse thinks some of the young guys are good looking too. Walsh is her favourite, who's yours?

Can't love Walsh
Val Holmes is gorgeous

Wow ..what a sh*t show from NSW, you get injuries and certainly the glass man Turbo going down early didn't help, but the weird replacement and tactics that followed was terrible. Combined with Queensland's incredible defence it was an ordinary night for the Blues. Surely this has sealed the fate of Freddy.
I know Collins man of the match and he played very well, but for me 34 year old DCE played like a young kid and was exceptional.
Slater should also be signed as a full time coach for a club and offer him a lot. Incredibly analyitcal and knows his shit
-
Meanwhile the GC Titans prefer Des Hasler as coach to Justin Holbrook.

Loved his comment after the match when asked about chasing down Creighton - felt like I was running on the treadmill.
NSW are in disarray - poor coaching and poor selections. Their over reliance on a halves combo that has been worked out.
