Thurston to miss origin 1

lol

Ok, this may be true but....

every ****ing year the Qld media come out with some major player having an injury meaning they will miss a s.o.o. game.

They almost cant report it with a straight face anymore.

Admittedly, it's usually reported in the week leading up to origin.
 
Chez won't get a fair go with the Qld mob :shake:

They'll start blooding Milf or Hunt before they call Chez back.

The old FOGs blacklisted him after his Titans backflip and they'll hold onto their envy to the grave 😡

Good for Manly 🙂
Walter's said dce will be 7 when JT retires. If he was telling the truth dce will be 7.

Thurston has done his shoulder again, facing lengthy stint on the sideline including missing origin game 1. DCE looks certain to get the call up to partner Cronk in the halves if he wasn't already going to take Morgan's bench spot.
Excited to see their combo. It will work 100 x better than Thurston and DCE last time.
 
DCE's form has been better. DCE is tougher. DCE has experience. DCE is more adaptable and can and has played 6,7 and 13. DCE is smarter. DCE is prettier. @:p

In saying all that, I know that Qld are excited about Milford and Ash Taylor for the future.

If they want to win, they'll pick DCE. If they want to blood a young bloke, they may pick Milford.

Qld always want to win.
 
Why won't it be Cronk 7 Milford 5/8?
It could will be but Milford has to play himself into contention, right now I think dce has the upper hand based on previous experience and current from. Milford has been poor this year and shouldnt be considered yet but if he plays well he could be selected. Milford is more likely for a bench role.
 
Not yet but Walters and meninga say dce is the heir to the 7 jersey why would you give him the 6 jumper for a game while JT is out this year.

All things change Turbo .... players come and go ....

Why would you give Milford the 6? Why would you move Cronk from 7?

I have no idea, but I think being so certain DCE will be picked is optomistic
 
If the choice is between Hunt, DCE, Milf to fill in for Thursto....

There is only one logical choice. DCE.

It is time for Qld to start blooding more young blokes with the era of Thurston, Cronk and Smith fast drawing to a close though.

Hunt is not a big game player. Milford is a gamble with his defence. DCE is a big game player, has great defence, a kicking game, good current form, a passing game and experience.

None of the current Qld side have anything against Daly and Kevie Walters is far shrewder than he makes out on TV.

If Thurston doesn't take the field, I believe DCE will.

I'm not certain in fact my comments are what should happen but qlders hate dce so... I don't know
