I won't be surprised to see him play this week.

I'm not really sure who they'll leave out. Obviously it is between Lee and Rapana. Maybe Rapana misses out as he and Leilua are more similar with their aggressive attack than Lee. It's a tough choice.
 
Was DCE terribly rudderless in SoO last night, or am I being tough on the fella?

That and a few of other things I noticed;

No confidence to play his natural game which is more of a running / attacking halfback then an organiser.

A fast moving defensive line which cut down his decision making time and options.

NSW edge backrowers and even props successfully targeted him in defence, he really lacked energy in attack, He is a much better player than he showed last night.
 
I think qlds game has been based around Cronks direct playmaker style for a few years now, so It's hard for the rest of the team to adapt to DCE's different style.

As it was seen last year, Cronk makes a massive difference to the Qld team.

Was a great game last night, up the blues.

Can't wait for game 3.

He is a great club halfback. But lacks the skills & confidence needed to play Rep football. He has play Tests & SOO for several years now & has never really preformed to the level required.
 
One thing being overlooked is the type of half DCE is, an attacking half. Most really successful halves partnerships have an attacker and organizer but unfortunately for DCE and to his detriment at the higher level, JT is also an attacking half. He will come good, he is far to skillful not to.
