bowman is a centre, berrigan and lockyer are halves.

IMO golden point is a stupid rule and it should be golden try. Anybody can kick a goal, but a try is something special that would leave both the players and the spectators more satisfied than an anti-climatic field goal.

Gower's gone, he's injured anyways. Hornby, gone. Bring back Minichiello as fullback.

Luke Lewis, I like him now.

Berrigan has been playing in the centres all year for the broncos, i'd rather see him there than Bowman who did shit all.

i think selectors have a big job on their hands with all the normal origin players coming back from injury, theyll have to keep a close eye on all their form and stuff

i cant see them selecting someone like trent barret and co who have been injured for ages. they wouldnt have enough fitness to last a game such as game 1. unfair to the players who have performed well injury free too.

Agreed on all counts.

For QLD:

Drop Bowman, bring in Chris Walker and shift Hodges to centre on the same side as Walker (Roosters connection). Bring in Berrigan on the bench, move Civoniceiva to the starting second row with Crocker going to the interchange. Of course add Lockyer to five-eighth!

I'm a Roosters fan and there was something in that tackle. I don't like the way Hodges goes about his game sometimes.

hodges is a cat, he has showed glimpses of skill in the past but never consistent.

He was fantastic last week, but that was just one game. It's disappointing.
