Turner is becoming a revelation at centre. I hardly noticed him when he played in the forwards!

Despite the great form of both Walker and Reynolds, I think it would be madness to completely change the halves combination that won NSW the series last year for game one. I'd stick with Cleary and bring in Keary - his form over two seasons is a bit to hard to ignore and he would take some of the heat off Cleary as he is a fantastic playmaker.

Just saw the Souths Play the ball penalty and am now worried - Thomas Mikaele often places the ball on the ground, he then releases it and then waits for the dummy half to collect it. He never rolls it back with his foot (thus playing the ball) That's a penalty every time - Over to you Coach!

We might be able to pickup some real bargains with Brisbane players coming off contract this year. Seeing their individual dollar value decreasing by the minute with these lacklustre performances. 🤤
Broncos definitely not playing for seibold. Plenty of players aligned with Bennett.

I've said it before and I'll say it again
Bennett wanted out ...he knew he screwed up in recruitment and retention
Seibold will be the loser in this

Wonder what those out Penrith way are thinking? Didn’t Gould have Bennett wrapped up?
Via twitter - The Broncos, led admirably by Darius Boyd, are giving the ultimate GI tribute by refusing to show up and play for the Broncos

@Spud_Murphy Why is Cleary guaranteed selection? He was a passenger in Origin and his form is really down this season. You have the Souths combination in the spine and Reynolds is an experienced head it's a no brainer.

He's not I suppose, but as I mentioned in my earlier post, I just don't think it would be wise to *completely* alter the winning halves combo from last year. I would drop Maloney for Keary because Keary has been playing consistently well for a long time and although Maloney played great last year, he is a huge liability in defence. At least Cleary can tackle and he is calm under pressure. With better players around him I'm sure he will go well.
Fyi, I've always been an advocate of Reynolds for Origin, but I just don't see the need for radical changes to a winning team for the first game at least. Queensland's success over a long period was mainly due to them sticking with the same winning team for the most part.
