He can console himself with the knowledge he'll be one of the most traded in players next week.

Just home from church I nearly fell off the lounge in shock wow no Fifita! Silly silly Billy wow!

Anyway I managed 989 which was good enough to gain a few more ranks to 804.

Supercoach always more generous with the try assists. Didn't see them dudding Harry Grant of his rightful due either

Looks like I’ll have Fifita and KPP but Olakau’atu was one of my main post Origin targets so not sure if I just use extra trade. KPP fallen off a cliff but can’t loop as same game/Fifita probably captain

Probably have to avoid and just 1 trade on cashing out Latrell to Gray

Why where's this news on Fifita from?

Can't imagine the shock you'll get when you find out the QLD squad hasn't even been named yet.

Do you also have a mate who is a mate's mate of Billy?

Here's where the rumor coming from

I already have Fifita, KPP and Lemuelu

Having Olaka'atu available too is mildly annoying, especially as he'll have a low BE so probably want to trade him next week for best pricing.

Must be Piakura's time

Behind the wall:

Newcastle’s dynamic duo Kalyn Ponga and Dane Gagai have made a triumphant return to the Maroons - two years after the pair inspired Queensland’s last win in a Suncorp Origin decider.

On a day of drama for the Maroons, Queensland coach Billy Slater lost in-form winger Murray Taulagi to injury, just hours before recalling Ponga and Gagai for Origin III at Suncorp on Wednesday week.

In other major selection news ahead of the official team announcement on Monday:

* It is understood Selwyn Cobbo, a shock omission for Origin II, has been recalled on the wing;

* Valentine Holmes will partner Cobbo on the wing after being shifted to accommodate Gagai at centre;

* In-form Titans back-rower David Fifita has been snubbed again;

* Dragons hitman Jaydn Su’A has been dropped, with Kurt Capewell set to start;

* Veteran Raiders prop Josh Papalii has been overlooked; and

* Reed Mahoney is on standby for the injured Harry Grant.


Likely Qld Maroons team for State of Origin decider

Starting: 1 Reece Walsh, 2 Selwyn Cobbo, 3 Dane Gagai, 4 Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, 5 Valentine Holmes, 6 Tom Dearden, 7 Daly Cherry-Evans (c), 8 Reuben Cotter, 9 Ben Hunt, 10 Lindsay Collins, 11 Kurt Capewell, 12 Jeremiah Nanai, 13 Pat Carrigan

Bench: 14 Harry Grant, 15 Felise Kaufusi, 16 Mo Fotuaika, 17 Kalyn Ponga

Reserves: Reed Mahoney


Note from me: Nothing confirmed yet

Bit rough on Sua

Billy cooked.

Kaufusi is such a bizarre pick. Played 10mins last game but with that bench he surely would need to play more this time. Carrigan and Cotter going to need to get through a lot of work, not great for rd20..

Yeah, my first thought too. I don't recall individual moments, but I thought he was having a more than decent crack at Origin this year.

But then WFB is where I gunned it (Latrell, Wishart, Garrick)

944 had Teddy Koloa Garrick Latrell C. Uto sucked but other than that thought scored ok so bit of a bummer all the 1k scores and I didn't

971 for me. Rank up from 8.1k to 7.3k. Camo you should not  be disappointed being around the 1k rank mark. You can still finish top 700. This has been a very rough fantasy season for me I know a few others usually up there like my who are struggling but we keep plugging away.

Pryce got 49 which is nice but still looks a bit raw. He might be dropped round 22 when Gamble is back but hopefully next two weeks keeps making money, he’s my WFB cover and 4th WFB in my side.

I have 12 for next week with just 1 trade left. If Trell is out for season we will know by Wednesday. If so I’ll get J. Gray to field a 13th next week. Otherwise I might hold.

Api/Hands
Plath Moale S. Fainu
Fifita Aitken
Hynes Dylbags/Galvin
Iro Wighton
Garrick Pryce

Teddy Haas, Tapine, Drinky, Mahoney, Soro, S. Hughes all out.

Not sure I wanna trade anyone unless as I said J, Gray is an option then Hughes or Hands to him is the play. If Trell is just 4 weeks not sure I wanna touch Gray though

Garrick or Tommy at FB? Probably still trade Garrick in regardless but it would be helpful

It’s gonna be Hoppa
