[@Giveme1goodreason]

Rugby league in Australia owes everything to 4 players from both states. Equal 1st Arthur beetson and Tommy radonikis. Equal 2nd Wally Lewis and Steve Mortimer. There’s been plenty of legends come and go but Arthur and Tommy gave the maroon and blue authenticity. Wally gave Queensland identity and Steve Mortimer gave New South Wales heart. Any of those 4 don’t exist and we might as well have that super league tri series that had nsw QLD and NZ.

Great game all around 👌 still proud of how we played especially defending on our line unfortunately don’t see the sense on both teams losing a player for 10 minutes over basically a push and a shove and think all fans would much prefer to see 13 on 13 when there’s no advantage that either team.

[@donDubP]

Ponga can play 1 and move Walsh to 6 (or vice versa) Tom D will take the sub

[@JamesWillis-yy5px]

I think it will depend. If Walsh is on fire, and Tom is on fire. Ponga stays on the bench. Ponga is the back up. He will go wing if an outside back gets hurt, and be switched in if a 6 or 1 is having a hard time.

[@donDubP]

[@Giveme1goodreason]

One thing I noticed in Walsh’s last game for Brisbane. He defended a lot in the line and tried hitting people in defence. He also spent a considerable amount of time being a pseudo halfback. So to me that was a preparation for origin and pings defending at the back and Walsh in the line.
