Think the blues will have to stick with squad now.
Shame as I think they have missed an opportunity for some real change in their team.

I didn't think any of the halves out there were that fantastic. Even Thurston wasn't up to his usual standard and Cronk was running on one leg.

Re: 2016 State of Origin I: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*
Maybe the blues plans of playing through the middle should be confined to the bin of failed ideas. They have tried it for years with no result.
Maybe, just maybe, they should aim to play off some second phase. Get blokes in the pack who can pop a pass and got for it.
Still need to slow down the play the ball in defence as if it's too fast a game QLD will cut them to pieces. But they need to try something else.
Coming from a Queenslander I obviously hope they continue to pick D Walker.

I don't know where these comments of worst Origin ever are coming from. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Yes, it wasn't flashy, but for me it hearkened back to the 80's with a defence focused low scoring struggle.

I thought Reynolds was good - some great kicks mixed in with some ordinary ones but still a better option than anyone else in NSW at the moment. His worst blue was missing the conversion, though.julian87 wrote:What's that based on?Pigman wrote: Reynolds was good enough to hold the spot

It won't happen, but I would like to see the selectors bite the bullet and retire Gallen and Bird after tonight's game. Ten years of failure is surely enough.
I'd bring in Boyd for Gallen, Cartwright (if fit) or Merrin for Bird and I reckon Tyrone Peachey has No. 14 impact player written all over him

Yeah Gallen had one of his better Origins. More selective with his efforts and ultimately more effective.Pigman wrote:Farah continued to be a problem
I'll give credit where it's due to Gallen though, he wasn't in everything the way he has been in the past

Good little interview there from Kevvie.
Said QLD had some luck from the refs. Not sure that was the case. Thought some dud calls both ways but a couple of important ones against QLD early. Led to their only points.

Moylan was actually worse than I expected and I expected him to be ineffective. Straight swap for Tedesco/Dugan would be a big upgrade.
Walker.. What a joke of a pick. No point elaborating but was never going to be a good option.
Refs need to blow more penalties.. Origin is getting boring.

How is it that most nrl games have what, 8 penalties a side? And yet origin games consistently have low penalty counts? It's no wonder there have been so many dour SOO games over the last few years. The line speeds of both teams is Bull - gives the attacking team no room to work with, and the games turn out to be a snoozefest

Daley isn't going to make wholesale changes for game 2. He'll select Dugan over Morris for game 2, but pending injuries that'll be it.
