All Hindmarsh does is tackle, Gallen offers a more even game, can tackle can run

Yup, I 100% agree peach. It's a no brainer who you take given a choice between Gal and Hindy.
What I AM saying is if all you wanted was in fact just a tackler (and I'm not suggesting the Blues do this, either) you would take Hindmarsh ahead of everyone else if you were judging with "statistics" as your only criterion, that's all...

Well shucks, you're making me blush...but you're right, I am a visionary!
Hmmmmmm, defensive enforcers, defensive enforcers...now where did I see them before...oh yeah, that's right:
THEY'RE CALLED THE BASH BROTHERS: GALLEN AND BIRD AND LAST TIME THEY TEAMED UP FOR ORIGIN BIRD MADE THURSTON HIS OWN PRIVATE BITCH IN THE BEST IMAGE TO EVER COME OUT OF ORIGIN!
Now the puppeteers have built the tension they can pick the real NSW side which will win Game 2 and we will have the all important, guranteed ratings winner decider. Not a dead rubber.

El Coco look back to the 4 Nations to see Gal's defensive worth - he cleaned up for Locky all series, quickly re-establishing his position in the starting line up. He is your man, so is Bird.
Idris was crap and out of his depth. He also played the entire second half, peaches.
Lyon was lost at 5/8 and only looked good in the final 20 or so when started playing like a centre.
Your forwards were fluff. Waterhouse is clumsy, Perry has no ticker, Weyman was average, Watmough lacked good ball from a good 5/8 (see above re: Lyon) and White was even more useless off the bench than usual. Still waiting to read that Creagh bashed Lockyer outside the stadium cause he sure has hell didn't do it during the game as promised.
Bottom line though, until NSW learns to have a bit of respect for their rivals, they'll continue to fall short. The whole week leading up to the game saw NSW focus on who QLD didn't have (Smith, Hodges, Hunt, Hannant, Price etc) and even without playing those guys still won. Don't get me wrong, QLD hate NSW, but they still respect the fact that if they don't apply effort upon effort for 80 minutes they will get beaten.

did anyone else agree that there was something else seriously missing last night?
like atmosphere? Passion? Ive been watching origin a few yrs now and before last night the atmosphere was electric, so exciting, but last night it seemed to dull and bland?

You blokes are probably just sick of losing - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
But it was a bit off. The conditions can take some blame for this I think. The dropped ball made it impossible for either side to build up much pressure, so you didn't see the trading of sets back and forth which gets you on edge as to who is gonna crack first. This and the heavy track also worked against either pack really getting a good rhythm and roll on so there weren't the big hits we've come to expect.
The pre-game hype about fights and crap from the Blues only lifted expectations too. But you can't call "cattledog" and pick Creagh and omit Gallen FFS just doesn't work.

Aside from Gallens inclusion, I would like to see Jennings get a centre spot over Idris/Tahu, definitely need to get rid of Gidley too, no room for him anywhere in the team.

Probably keep Tahu, but bring in the other no neck Morris boy to replace Cooper/Idris

Idris didn't play centre, he was switching alot with his winger..he clearly had no idea what he was doing
I am not expecting any big changes unfortunately, Bellamy and co are as sharp as a circle. When will they learn Origin football is different to Club football.
Gidley = Myth
Creagh = Soft
Waterhouse = Nothing (body language is pathetic, at least he knows how average he is.)
Perry = Nothing (8 hitups for 49metres!)
White = Myth (does he ever win the first contact? He has skates on)
Would love to see:
Hayne
Jennings
Tahu
Lyon
B Morris
Barrett
Kimmorley
Bird
Gallen
Watmough
Weyman
Ennis
Snowden
Gidley
Lewis
TLL
Douglas/Mason
Not going to happen though.

Ben Creagh, Michael Weyman, Matt Cooper, Trent Waterhouse - thanks for your efforts boys, but see you on the way out and don't come knockin' again.
If NSW is fair dinkum about at least competing in this year's State of Origin series, it needs to start by handing out redundancies to those four.
They were completely ineffectual in the 28-24 loss to Queensland in Sydney on Wednesday night and need to be replaced by some Origin hard nuts.
Give me the likes of Paul Gallen and Greg Bird any day of the week.
They are tough, street-wise hombres who refuse to be stood over.
If the knuckle is on, you can bet the Bruise Brothers will be first on the scene.
I thought NSW's lack of aggression in game one was pathetic.
They talked it up before the game but I've seen harder hits in a schoolyard rumble.
It was one of the tamest Origins I've witnessed.
There have been calls to punt coach Craig Bellamy immediately after the Blues' weak effort but what's the point now?
Let the man go out with a bit of dignity.
It's not going to matter who coaches NSW if they keep picking the wrong side.
Bellamy got the side he wanted but I'm not so sure it was the side the selectors wanted.
It will be interesting to see if the selectors get more of a crack for the second game.
What Waterhouse was doing in the starting side with Luke Lewis on the bench I will never know.
As I said from the top, Creagh struggles at this level, so too does Weyman and surely that's the last we'll see of Cooper in a sky blue jumper.
Jarryd Hayne had an unhappy game on the wing - he's an out-and-out full-back and should be picked there.
Kurt Gidley has to be in the side but not at No.1 and I'd be pensioning off 'Noddy' Kimmorley, although he tried his guts out, and looking to the future with Mitchell Pearce.
But even if they make a heap of changes, the Maroons have got us by the goolies at the moment.
So hands up all you dummies who got sucked it and blew your dough backing the Blues?
Let me spell it out for you - Queensland is far too good and will be for some time.
It's the same old song. Nothing's changed.
We keep saying the Blues are going to win; the media gets behind the team, the state gets behind them but Queensland keep pulling our pants down.
When are we going to learn?
The best three players in the world - Johnathan Thurston, Billy Slater and Greg Inglis - are in the one backline and you are not going to beat that.
They are comparing Thurston to Andrew Johns and it's deserved - he's that good.
Matt Ballin was fantastic on debut and Sam Thaiday was almost unstoppable at times.
The Queensland sides of the Wally Lewis era will remain untouchable as far as I am concerned, but this current side is right up there as the greatest to wear the maroon strip.
Those who listened to me and backed Queensland would have some folding stuff to spend on this weekend's NRL round.
For this week's all-up, go: The Dragons and Tigers to get us going on Friday night and then the Broncos to beat Cronulla and the Rabbitohs to see off Penrith on Sunday before Gold Coast takes care of the Roosters on Monday night.
Send my commission cheque c/- of the Manly Sea Eagles.
