PICK THE PRINCE FOR GAME 2
May 23rd 2008 06:02
This has got to stop. This male thing of not being able to admit your wrong. I suffer from it as do millions of males around the world. But Mal Meninga or one of the QLD "selectors" needs to wake up and smell the cabbage.
If they decide to ignore Sott Prince for Origin 2 it will extinguish any hope they have of squaring the series. Now I'm not saying that playing Prince gaurantee's victory but it will give them a damn better chance than going in with the same side again. Mal Meninga has even stated he thought the Karmichael Hunt experiment wasn't a complete disaster. MAL MAL MAL. iT DIDN'T WORK MAN. While Hunt's efforts in defence were at times superb, thats not the way to use a five-eight in origin. Well not in Queensland anyway.
Are Mal and the boys trying to say they"ve been picking Darren Lockyer in the past, not to be Thurston's strike partner, but for his defensive strenght.
What Queensland lacked was another attacking option. Sure they had a great attacking back line but you need more than one guy to ignite the attacks. From the go on Wednesday New South Wales set about negating that back line and they systematically shut it down.
If you're going up against a coach like Bellamy you need to give him more than one avenue to defend. He's not thick. He's probably the best in the business at the moment.
So Mel. What you need to do is sit the three stooges (selectors) down and demand Prince in the team. Because when the opportunity comes up to play two guys of the calibre of Thurston and Prince in the one side, especially an Origin side......................... ............................. .........YOU TAKE IT.
Roll on round 2.
