Thurston v Lewis

[Splinter]

Martin Bella was a handy prop for Qld, I would try to fit him in. Sam Backo would be handy for impact off the bench

 

[Big Pete]

Slater has surpassed Lockyer as an Origin fullback.

Lewis is a far superior Origin five eighth.

Ergo Lockyer would be lucky to make the bench.

Agree on Bella, I'd have him over Webcke.

I'd also take Price and Myles over a lot of those players.

 

[Porthoz]

Because JT is playing on Wednesday and Lewis is the greatest Origin player of all time.

I'm sure if you tweet Badel he may share them.

Then again, Lockyer would be lucky to make my GOAT Origin team...

Blasphemy!

Give yourself 10 lashes.

I don't think Slater has surpassed Locky in Origin, even if he has played more time as fullback, but there is no way I would not fit Locky in my team, even if I had to move Lewis to lock.

What I struggle most with, is Thurston or Langer? Tough call.

 

[Splinter]

Might have to put Wally to his first position in origin and slot Locky to 5/8

 

[Big Pete]

Lewis doesn't move for anyone.

Not only has Billy played more games, he's been more lethal across his career.

 

[Splinter]

He might well have been MOM at lock

 

[Big Pete]

If I was taught anything as a child it was that Choppy Close was MotM in the first ever Origin game.

 

[Splinter]

Good call
I don't think I can fit Locky in the team either

 

[Big Pete]

Not only would Lockyer and Langer struggle to make my GOAT Queensland side, Joey would struggle to make the Blues version.

I disagree, Joey is definitely a "GOAT"

 

[Big Pete]

Not in Origin.

Ricky was a better halfback. Elias, Buderus, Toovey were better hookers.

 

[Splinter]

I was only joking Pete

 

[Big Pete]

Apologies Splinter.

I've just got Ricky on the brain at the moment.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Apologies Splinter.

I've just got Ricky on the brain at the moment.

Ricky will be all after you mate now, remember the words

 

[CaptainHook]

Not in Origin.

Agreed. Johns' Origin record is surprisingly poor.

 

[Socnorb]

By selecting Lewis & Thurston.. anything else?

Folau for shearer

 

[Splinter]

No way
Shearer was sensational for Qld
