Uate was rightfully dumped, he was needing a wake up call, he's a good kid. He'll be back!

Billy Slater named in the Queensland squad for origin 3 - Meninga going to give him until the last minute to prove his fitness. Good to see Matty Bowen back in the origin fold again to put his best foot forward while Neilsen's inclusion is good for me as in the event that Slater isn't a starter, GI can go play fullback while Boyd switches to the wing with either Neilsen or Tate going to centres. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/rugby-league/state-of-origin/injured-slater-named-in-origin-decider-squad-20120626-20zt3.html
As for the argument for NSW that Ricky and the NSW selectors owe Uate more loyalty and should have stuck by him and not dropped him, well he has only played what 2 series so the loyalty argument does fall flat right there (it isn't like sticking by Petero even though Petero isn't playing his best footy but it is just because he has played 30 odd origins before is why he gets to play) and putting Morris in there is a better option for NSW as they can't risk the stuff-ups that uate did in origin 2 to surface again in origin 3. |

Uate has to do a bit of work on his defence QLD exploited it in both games, if he can fix this hell cement his spot in the side for a long time.

He's usually good for the odd shoulder charge! |

NSW shouldn't say too much after allowing Tamou in! |

NSW shouldn't say too much after allowing Tamou in! That's my thinking too donk...I dont have a link for it but GI is saying he wants more of the ball. If that isn't an understatement I'll never know!! |

Wally on the footy show has just announced some breaking news that Slater won't be playing...blessing in disguise I say...bring on GI as fullback!

Queensland will rue not having DT playing for them in origin...all this over a dropped ball yet his probably played his best footy this year and redeemed himself for Souths the game after origin...yep this is all conveniently over-looked by the selectors  Oh well at least that means he's available to play for souths this weekend...
And if Corey Parker doesn't play an absolute blinder as in make every tackle and play 60 mins, I'll be pissed  |

Origin three starts soon...and it is going to be an absolute corker of a decider if you believe the analysts and to think donk wasn't going to watch the first game  |

Already Parker has cost us a couple of plays down the blind side and now a penalty
Thaiday has had a disappointing start...already had a few missed tackles...NSW looked to have brought a real good running game already testing our forwards out...
Try queensland!! Thank you Parker great off-load and tremendous cut out pass from Thurston to Boyd to score. |

Contentious try that 3rd one for Queensland but argument could be made that the vid ref made the right decision as you couldn't really say Scott was impeded as he kind of new that Hodges was doing a run around play as that is why he didn't committ to tackle the decoy runner but held of and when he was one on one with Hodges, Hodges was just too quick for him.
