It looks a little desperate but he looked really good yesterday and we got nothing from Grant in game 2.Glad to see Best get another crack. Big shoes to fill though.
Absurd Kalyn is being played one game after a long term injury.

Think it's either one or the other. Both are fullbacks only.Billy has had a stiffy about having Walsh and Ponga in the same team. He would have probably done it last year if it wasn't for Ponga's concussion issues. Now he's testing it in the biggest match of his origin coaching career.
Ponga has played a bit (pretty poorly) at the 6 i think.Think it's either one or the other. Both are fullbacks only.
Actually having said that, with the concussion history of both it may be a masterstroke yet.
Yeah about 6 weeks combined. It was a disaster, he was terrible there.Ponga has played a bit (pretty poorly) at the 6 i think.
I think im overly harsh on Walsh but i just dont think hes defensively good enough for Origin. Hes brilliant with the ball, not so great without it.
Based on the teams on paper NSW looks a comfortable favourite to me but Suncorp is the x factor.
Shutter...bucksee u iin the new yearMunster looks very dead.

Cobbo for Coates is almost a wash. No Taulagi hurts though.

Don't disagree with you. Think the challenging thing is, Ponga is much the same. Albeit slightly better defensively I think.
Don't think that would work any better really.Maybe they are thinking Walsh to 6 if Dearden is as terrible game 2, Ponga to 1
Don't think that would work any better really.
Ahead of who that's the issue with Cobbo, was never going to be ahead of Holmes as qld NEED. kicker, you aren't going into an Origin series with DCE kicking goals. Hammer has be be the other centre. You can make a case for not having Coates or Talagui though, but it's same as whatever there
Walsh is very inconsistent as a kicker and he’s not even the first choice for his club. Not a chance I’d be leaving Hammer out. Was brilliant last year and has been outstanding when not injured this season. Talagui would be the one but it’s much as, Murray is the Australian winger
Well, well, well, someone has changed their tuneI call Cobbo in a big win should have been in the starting side every game, got away with it game 1. Taulagi did nothing both games

Thats fine, just noting that that is NOT what youve said above.I expected them to go safe- and he deserved the first game he was terrible even though they won. Holmes has to be there as he’s the only good kicker but Cobbo had to be there game 2 and beyond
Thats fine, just noting that that is NOT what youve said above.
I said i thought Cobbo should have started game 1 weeks ago, you said "who for" now youre saying he should have been in the starting side EVERY game.
Dearden was at the mercy of a team that got absolutely belted off the park.Maybe not but can’t go worse than Dearden game 2. He was diabolical and that’s being kind. Don’t actually hate the Ponga selection you need points he’s a luxury

There's not a 5/8 in the game that would've looked good in that side.
Sure. I'm not hanging him for trying something though.Sure but not throwing a ridiculous intercept when we actually got possession would be an idea.

Everyone know's he's not first choice. If not Dearden, who? To me, he's still next best.
Mam too. Been unreal this year and is more in the run and play mould to compliment DCE
I did forget about Walker actually. Pretty good shout.
