Being from QLD I was shocked too that he in Capewell got picked over D Fifita, however, perhaps because Capewell is a bit more of a utility then Fifita. We need more forward power then Capewell is though unfortunately. Tino & Gilbert are to major losses for us unfortunately.

I'm surprised Slater didn't try to convince Papali'i to come away from his retirement for this game haha.

you have a hooker & a back on the bench how much more utility could you possibly need

Yeah I know, thats a pretty poor lineup from what I've seen, at least Ponga is back with us though.

Anyway honestly, DCE will only be around for another series or 2, who's going to be our HB after DCE? I'd presume it will be Sam Walker from Roosters but he hasn't even been brought into any squad at all yet.

He's gone with the safe decision with Capewell, think its going to be the smart one also. Its a decider and the pressure is on after game 2. Although Capes hasnt been in great form or played much this season, he has experience on the big stage with finals and origin. He is also known to have a good workrate especially the one percenters, which can make a difference or change the game in an origin decider. They got speed and strike on the edges, they just need Capes to shutdown Crichton and do his job
Don't underestimate Ponga roving around the middle of the ruck. He's pulled NSW pants down before...
By the time he comes on i think it'll be to late.
NSW are going to come out firing. And the players they've picked in the pack are all known to play long minutes.

If Qld don't get a lot of get out of jail free cards. NSW should win Monopoly in QLD. The QLD pack is garbage.

Anyone thinking Qld won't win the 3rd game has rocks in their heads.
The 50,000 crowd will ensure they get leg ups early in the game - the pressure will be too much for the ref.
NSW will find it hard going and while I definitely don't think it will be a walkover, I can see a Qld win by 10 points.
Not what I want but it is what I think it will be.

Hope Moses s h I t s himself.
Every Second Chance card QLD draw will have the Get Out Of Jail Free card. Not too mention all the Free Parking spots

Hopefully they are parking in their end and underneath the car piece regularly.
I still want NSW to win but if they lose I hope it’s his fault

I'm happy for NSW to win and Moses has a shocker and almost costs us the result.
1000%
If NSW lose, what better way to go out than a Moses intercept pass, ala Brett Kimmorley!
