David Fifita is a must pick, must be personal. Even if he doesn't want him as a starter he'd have impact off the bench... what does Kaufusi offer off the bench?

@vetaiapettitt9749Ай бұрын
For everyone that saying Fifita should be picked. Defence win games as much as attack. He tends to get lazy a little in defence which is risky to take a player like him into origin. He needs to pick up his game in that area. Stop trying to thibk youse know better than the coaches and experts. Stop listening to the media and just watch and learn

Everyone, is not the coach or the selectors. Stop listening to NSW, history shows they are more times the losers to Qld, they do it every time they think their arrogance will win them the shield. Let them have their bonding session at the "beach". The score last time was not 38 nil, the score was 38 to 18. We lost but we also ran out of time. You can't win every match. Don't panic, all we can do from the sideline is trust Billy and the selectors. Go the Maroons

I disagree that everyone is calling for Fifita. I'm not. QLD need aggressive high work rate defence. That is NOT Fifita. Qld have game breaking attack in abundance, they don't need just more of that. They need to be able to keep posession and gain possession of the ball and from there you get field posession.

@youtubeenthussiast328 with respect, no they did not do that last game. There was little intensity in defence. And Fifita does not give you that. It is a mindset thing which is why NSW worked in the first half when they were playing for their lives and series but did not do anything like as much 2nd half when the match was won despite QLD being exhausted from all the defence.

It's all good and well saying Fifita has had consistency issues in the past but he's in career best form in 2024 and Capewell has been poor for the Warriors - he's a penalty magnet and he looks like he's running on tired legs. I'm not convinced Nanai is an Origin player either, Fifita provides that mongrel and presence whereas Nanai seems too nice and easygoing.
