Prefer if all play to be honest.

Rather beat a fully fit squad rather than a bunch of reserve graders. It'll be a good indication of where we are.
If they all play then great, we can gauge where we are at vs them
If they don’t, well I’d rather beat a weakened side than lose to a full strength one

Points on the ladder and momentum more valuable than a respectable loss.

Cobbo picked up a bruised hip or something along those lines, so he’s definitely going to be ruled out.

Seen somewhere that Oates is apparently ready to go so could be a straight swap. They don’t really lose much imo

Hynes might be off his game and Broncos will be pumped up after that origin win, theyll have that same Qld mind set for this game, not looking good for us😅

Sounds like all the Broncs except Cobbo are backing up

I hope Walsh doesn't carve us up. He had a great game the other night.
Watched the highlights last night and only just spotted it was Walsh who threw that beautiful cut out pass for a try while getting utterly pounded. That was a special play

He must have been close to best on ground.
QLD just seem to know how to pick players that are ready to step up to that level... then getting them there. Maybe it's a Melbourne thing, they were always great at it too

Honeslty NSW is just dumb. QLD literally have had the same attacking structures for the past 15 years and they keep it simple and it works. They always pick a ball playing full back and run sweeping plays out the back that work. NSW has also largely played the same attacking structures which don't work. They over complicate things so they then don't work due to lack of time to gel and the pressure and intensity of origin.

NSW seems to rarely have good depth in attack and it does my head in.

Yep, NSW always seem to go the power game across the park. They quite often win in yardage but not on the scoreboard.
