Munster gave insight after the game about this.
“Might be time to hang the boots up, the team is in good hands with Walker and Deardon”.

“Might be time to hang the boots up, the team is in good hands with Walker and Deardon”.
It’s what has made Benji so impressive thus far.
That alone was a dud decision but when you consider Moses was brought into replace our best player from game 1 it looks so much worse.
There’s 2 too many Panthers in the starting side as it is
- that’s the main problem.
Yeo is too dominant in the middle at lock, and he’s too slow.
I’d prefer him to come off the bench at prop - if at all.
Get him out of the way so the halves can play football.
Luai doesn’t belong there… never did.
Bouncing around waiting for someone to slip up don’t work in Origin.
He’ll move to lock - or off the bench…
He’ll be there.
It’s all opinions. When you concede that many points you don’t have a connected group.
I’d be leaning into combinations at club level (old and current)

Lol he won’t be coming off the bench nor moving.
He’s told us what he’s thinking. He wants another premiership.
Why?
This isn’t a club match - it’s an origin match (stating the obvious)
You’re not up against a team with 1-2 origin players in it,
you’re up against a team of 17 of them.
Yeo has been outplayed in almost every origin he’s started at 13. I’d bet it’s the same for To’o.
The Panthers team won’t beat the QLD team, I don’t see Panthers footy and combinations helping at all.
😂😂😂
You’ve seen the ladder right?
I’m talking more about the spine. Laurie butchered it. Even the tries we scored were flukes.

LOL Not this year you dope, he’ll finish this campaign, retire and knuckle down for Melbourne next season.
LOL - im a dope?
Munny Couldn’t win the last 2 in a better side and you think he’s a shot for the next one after a gap year…
He’ll take the cash…

Yes. That will be his plan.
He has proven himself time and time again in Origin. He’ll want to win this series and go out one of the legends at this level.
Only the NSW players play it for the cash….
You Qlders with all them heads and no memory.
Ben Hunt and DCE are still putting their hands up to play Origin

Very good and dependable players but not legends with excellent legacies.
Walker and Deardon will begin their reign next year.

He's still more of a 5/8 than 7, but his start to the season was very good before he got injured scoring so he gets more time.

He got the job done on a few occasions when you lot thought he’d be whitewashed.
Yes he was dependable and so was Dozer.

Re DCE and Ben Hunt...
DCE IMHO is a legend and a halfback that is better then Nathan Cleary IMHO.
Queensland has the whole Thurston + Storm players to pick from.
I won't deride Hunt, he was at Brisbane twice when it made the Grand finals and has been a part of successful Origin campaigns. But Hunt was never seen as the Conductor of the side.
Hunt never lifted the Dragons to a grand final. DCE did that for Manly and that makes him a NRL Legend (ok he is also totally up himself, but meh).
Both DCE and Hunt are just too damn old. Heck Munster is talking retirement.
