Welcome to League of Titans

Game 3: QLD vs NSW (2018)

Ponga out, Inglis out, DCE reportedly in

I have tickets but now almost wish I didn’t :frown:
 
Gee those are two massive blows to QLD. I guess that makes Slater captain. The big four down to one.

And DCE finally gets a call up. But will they just dump Hunt to bench?

DCE in is embarrassing when you consider that he will be booed off by his own home fans. Don't know who's idea it was to select a 29 year old who has failed at rep level countless times, over a half who leads the league for try assists and is a handy goal kicker. But oh well good news for us Titans fans as he will be playing for us against an under strength Donkeys side.
 
Not sure who's idea it was to chose Arrow at prop when Mcguire IS a prop and Arrow is a lock. Baffles the mind. With you Bundy, what form is DCE showing that Hunt isn't? Not happy by any stretch of the imagination.

The Arrow one confused me too...
 
If CartWrong ever gets his act together we might have to play Arrow in the Front Row too
 
Its going to be a bad week for me if the Maroons are smashed by NSW following todays game. There is only so much disappointment I can take......so Qld must win.....pleeeeease.

Me too. Hoping for a QLD victory. Still can't believe they schedule the local derby during Origin. *grumble* *grumble*

Devastated to see Inglis out and not being able to play in Slater's last game. He was incredible in Game 1.
 
Those first half stats for QLD were amazing, only more shocking to see the Maroons behind on the scoreboard.

That form is what DCE has that Hunt doesn't. DCE will only get better next yr and Hunt will turn into QLDs hooker for many yrs to come

Oh yeah, did I mention DCEEEEEEEEEEEE
 
All the Blues whinging deluxe over Slater's player of the series medal, all you have accomplished was to overshadow your own rare series win. :D
 
Not just Blues people...A few maroons thought that DCE (arghhh!) should have got major points...If he had then it would have been a different result...

I don't care either way.....I understand the point system. i.e. Too many Blues got points to Slater getting a majority for Qld, but how many did DCE get in that 3rd game?

Also surely the selectors should be 2 x NSW and 2 x QLD to make it even.
