State of Origin 2012 Game 3 Discussion

[bjrshark]

Let's start this one off a little differently.

What changes do you think will occur for both side.

Who will be in for Glenn Stewart? Will Merrin/Creagh hold spot? Uate?

Will Qld. drop Taylor? Parker and Thiaday Play?

Will Billy play? If not who will replace him?


My NSW Team

1. B. Stewart
2. Hayne
3. Jennings
4. J. Morris
5. Uate (I would have B. Morris... Wont happen!)
6. Carney
7. Pearce
8. Grant
9. Farrah
10. Tamou
11. Bird
12. Lewis
13. Gallen

14. T. Williams
15. Woods
16. Fensom
17. Watmough


Qld. Team

Not for me to comment. I'm a NSW Supporter

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I really hope that Mateo or Hoffman don't get selected. There's been way too much talk of this for my liking.

I would even rather Hindmarsh gets one last game than those two. He's not in the best form but I doubt he'd let us down either. Would prefer him to get that than for Creagh to get another game too.

 

[josh11223344]

We won't make any changes except for any forced ones. Stewart will go out and either woods or hoffman come in, like mark I don't really like all the talk about him from his own coach but he's been in really good form.

I think QLD will be mad to not choose GI at fb but if they do that nielsen will come in who is no where near the class of player that bowen is. If they don't select GI at the back I will be much more confident than if they do.

Parker will drop out and thaiday will take taylors starting spot.

 

[Mr Wright]

GI at fullback and Nielsen to centre. Or GI to fullback, Tate to centre and Graham/O'Niell to the wing.

 

[bjrshark]

I'm thinking Boyd will be fullback (YAY FOR NSW!). I don't think Mal will want Inglis away from Cronk's main play, kick across field.

 

[Bundy Shark]

I reckon QLD will go for Bowen at fullback.

 

[goodbyepenrithhellosharks]

I reckon QLD will go for Bowen at fullback.

so do I and it scares the **** out of me...he is on fire and his combo with thurston could hurt us.
Any way queensland wear skirts I say

 

[sharkyboy]

you want to debut two kids on the bench and put tony williams straight back in? no no no

 

[19ninety9]

1. Stewart
2. Hayne
3. Jennings
4. Morris
5. Uate
6. Carney
7. Pearce
8. Grant
9. Farrah
10. Tamou
11. Watmough
12. Bird
13. Gallen

14. Merrin
15. Lewis
16. Creagh
17. Scott

 

[ACT SHARK]

So no one thinks Barba will get a run?

As for NSW, I'd like B.Morris in and Hoffman. I don't think Uate has played terribly, but at times he scares me. When they put that bomb up and he let it bounce and then knocked on, I was ****ting myself. That's all it takes in Origin to change a game. I just can't see Morris letting it bounce.

Hoffman I think would be great as well. Has really hit some good form. Should definitely be in the side over Creagh. I just don't think he offers that much.

 

[sharks2010]

I'd rather Scott then Hoffman
No to fensom

I would be extremely surprised if they blood barba over GI or bowen in one of the biggest origin games ever.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

This is who I'd go with

1. Stewart
2. Hayne
3. Jennings
4. Morris
5. Uate/Morris <- Really can't make my mind up. Want to remain loyal but it only takes one ****up to lose the game.
6. Carney
7. Pearce
8. Grant
9. Farah
10. Tamou
11. Watmough
12. Bird
13. Gallen

14. Merrin
15. Lewis
16. T-Rex/Woods
17. Hindmarsh

 

[sharks2010]

I think that will be the squad mb but the fairy will keep his spot and Scott will get a spot

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Can't believe the fairy gets a spot over Hindmarsh.

Look I know Hindmarsh is busted and old but if you're gunna have Creagh there you may as well use Hindmarsh instead. He'll do the same or better and he really deserves it.

 

[josh11223344]

I can't agree on hindy, he offers absolutely nothing but a million tackles and that would only be useful if we didn't already have gal playing in the middle of the ruck and the guys on the bench who can also play in the middle and offer alot more in other areas. Creagh isn't popular but I like the speed that he creates around the ruck when he comes on against the big QLD pack.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Creagh's stats:

Game 1
24 minutes
3 hitups
29 metres
19 tackles

Game 2
28 minutes
3 hitups
25 metres
15 tackles

You can't tell me Hindmarsh couldn't play that role surely. His passion alone would walk in a performance like that. The team may also lift for him as well.

Hindy wouldn't let anyone down with a 25-25 minute spell
And if we win he gets a sending off he deserves, not a wooden spoon

 

[Mark^Bastard]

On that we agree mate.

Hindmarsh is also more likely to make a cover tackle to save the game. Creagh just doesn't get involved in the game really.

 

[sharks2010]

We also have enough ball playing/ running backrowers
Hindy will lock up the ruck
