What changes have been made to the NSW and Queensland teams for the Origin decider?
Welcome to Kenny Blitch, your daily hit of NRL news. And the New South Wales and Queensland teams for the decider might have been named. There's been named.
The axe has been swung. What has been hit, we don't know. It might be an air swing.
How does Billy Slater's coaching strategy differ from Laurie Daley's?
Who knows? Anyway, let's just go through the changes. Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best are the new centre pairing. We've got Liam Martin's coming to the back row, which I think is a great idea. Jack Bostock is on the wing in place of Brian Toto. And then obviously...
What impact does Tedesco's performance have on the Blues' chances?
Hamoli on the bench. Hamoli Alcuadu has come onto the bench for Victor Radley, who has failed to make the team. And then the Queensland team, they've made a few changes as well.
What are the key debates surrounding the NSW dummy-half position?
Pat Carrigan has come in for Lindsay Collins. Lindsay Collins had a concussion on the weekend. He would have been eligible to play, but he wouldn't have been able to do any of the contact work in the lead-up line. for the game so uh for that reason billy slater elected i suppose it was an easy one to bring pat carrigan back in uh nanai has come in for uh fenafuaki and then obviously uh uh helen luke is out and uh corey horsbrough which i think is a big surprise has come in for queensland and uh i tell you what if corey horsbrough brings his his camp reform into camp uh the blues are a chance
How does Liam Martin's inclusion affect the NSW lineup?
Hold the ball, Corey. Hold the ball. Don't give up a penalty, Corey. Please don't.
What pressures is Laurie Daley facing as the Blues' coach?
But what do you make of the Queenslanders? Let's talk about them first up. There's been no heat. It's won all in the series, we've got to remember. And the last two deciders have been won by the away team. So you're talking about the elite of the elite. But I do think when we look at the Queensland squads that Billy's named throughout this series –
How do Queensland's changes influence their game strategy?
He seems to have got every call right so far.
The thing is, I really like this Queensland team and the changes he's made, I think they just really hit the right note. The thing about Origin, which from all the years I've covered Origin and spoken to coaches and all the rest of it, and what they hope to do, they'll all concede that sometimes when you pick the team for game one, you might get it slightly wrong. that you'll – sometimes you'll go, this guy, this guy, I'll pick this guy. And then after the game, generally after a loss, but after the game, you'll sit there and think, you know, I probably went in the wrong direction there. But they all believe that by game three, you've pretty much got the team right as far as selections go.
What are the implications of Billy Slater's potential decision regarding Melbourne?
The fact that New South Wales are still trying to find what the right lineup looks like is what scares me. As a New South Wales, obviously we live here, I'm a New South Wales fan. I don't know if it's the right team or not. Looking at it, no. But then I've just got to say, well, Laurie knows more about football than I do, so let's hope that he's got it right. But there's some concerns there. I think, obviously, Liam Martin was a no-brainer. I think he just brings that roughness, that just rip and tear mentality that I think New South Wales are clearly lacking. But then Victor Radley, I know Victor sailed close to the line a couple of times in Game 2, but he had Queensland looking for him, didn't he?
I've got so many questions we'll get to on the New South Wales side, mate. But even back on Billy's calls here, it's almost like it's worked for him though, mate. Because Collins was good in game two, but he got that head knock on the weekend. Yeah. He has a history of concussion injuries. Yeah. So it's almost – and Carrigan would have been there if he was available.
Yeah.
So it sort of works. And Nanai has really found form.
Yeah, well, his performance on the weekend was terrific, wasn't it? And the other thing, Nano is a try scorer. There's not many forwards that you can count on for a try game, and Nano is up there. Carrigan hasn't played since he suffered his syndesmosis injury about five weeks ago, roughly. But Billy said if he wasn't playing for Queensland or wasn't picked for Queensland, he'd be playing this weekend, which suggested, okay, it's not really a risk health-wise to have him in camp.
