Well, with 6 extra players on the field, you should be winning. :D

last time i checked, / meant "or", not "and" ;)

Go the Blues!!!

[punta]

i think you new south welsh people are getting bit cocky
dont forget qld has prob the 2 inform players atm with locky and thurston
you can even throw prince into the mix there

and even without webcke out forward pack still looks good

we also probably have the inform winger aswell with hodges

so lets not get carried away
it will be tight and it can go either way

[Chuck]

2 In form players - Lockyer and thurston! Wow, thats 2 of the 4 players you had in the test match! Hmmmm, i guess if the 10 in form NSW men don't turn up, then you might get within 20 pts of us!

NSW have every right to be cocky and should kill Qld.

in any case, i think Inglis and Smith are the best performing Qlders right now ;)

[punta]

ahhhh storm supporter ay

its true smith and inglis are playing well but i think most people would agree that thurston is the inform player in the nrl atm

hopefully for footys sake its close but a qld blowout is looking good
lol

my early tip qld by 13+

lol
happy punting

[Sportz]

The 1st game is at Telstra Stadium. Qld simply DON'T win there.

Hate to say, even without El Masri and Grothe, city look absolute specials against country, K. Gidley and B. Finch the halves, there kidding, time to load up the multi's with City as an anchor leg :(

Chuck, Jamie Lyon wont be the NSW 5/8, but if for some stupid idiotic reason they bring him out here, i'll go for them ugly cane toads :D
