I'm surprised that people are so buoyant about our chances. I look at the Queensland backline and then I look at the best of what we can cobble together and it worries me. When untried, flaky options like Addo Carr, Mitchell and Roberts are being touted as our saviours it worries me. Then we are planning on playing an inexperienced and inconsistent Turbo in there as well, or that muppet Ferguson. Aitken might be able to defend but where is his attacking prowess ?? Tedesco hasn't been setting the world alight like everyone thought he would once he partnered up with the great Cooper Cronk - why will he suddenly dominate Origin in an inexperienced side ?
If Slater is out then that will help our cause, but they'll just throw the equally experienced Darius Bennett in his spot. At least their halves will be as green as ours, so that evens the playing field a bit.
