Well all the whinging is just about over, it has been a long 3 weeks waiting for the game to come and it's too early to start drinking (just) so thought I would start a thread on some of the exciting head to heads we may see.
Score prediction: NSW 19 v QLD 16
DCE V Reynolds: Combined total minutes played 12.
Seriously I can't understand why either of them have been picked. QLDs pick and stick was abandoned in record time. Daily's loyalty is admirable but really I can't see Reynolds getting a run or needing to get a run unless there is an injury same for DCE.
Crowd:42,499 (just over half of the ANZ crowd)
Punches: 12 (QLD start brawl when the game lost and there's only 2 minutes to go)
Nice work Ross. I would argue though, that Reynolds probably comtributed as much in game 1 as Thurston did so i can see why Daley picked him again.....
Is Inglis playing tonight? Unlucky for Qld that he wasn't there for game 1
Good theory; Slater for knees after sliding in to stop a Merrin try, cant' really see Slater throwing a punch, well a good punch anyway and Merrin for retaliating?
Myles and papali both Try to unsuccessfully bait Gallen into throwing a punch in frustration due to Gallens discipline myles head butts Papali and ref sends them both off.
