With the first game of State of Origin five weeks away, team selections are already a hot topic. With Reece Walsh's injury, Kalyn Ponga is expected to take the fullback position, but now the spotlight turns to Tom Dearden and Daly Cherry-Evans. Jonathan Thurston told Jason Matthews on Wide World of Sports, "If Munster and DCE are fit, then I expect Tommy Dearden to be...he could be on the bench, he could certainly be 18th man as well." "Our strongest side at the moment it's, definitely a DCE and Cameron Munster in the halves." "But there's still five weeks to go before that comes around, so a lot can happen in five weeks," JT continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dor and Cord run through Round 7's Buy, Hold & Sell as well as touch on their thoughts on what to do with Kalyn Ponga.
With the first game of State of Origin six weeks away, team selections are already a hot topic. The debate regarding Queensland's fullback has begun, with Kalyn Ponga and Reece Walsh emerging as the frontrunners. Canberra Raider, Queensland Maroon, and Kanagraoo, Gary Belcher told Jason Matthews, "It really depends on the make up I think you've got to have Kalyn Ponga somewhere there." "I think Reece Reece Walsh is a little bit off at the moment, but there's still some time to go before Origin. If he strings a few of his best games together, he's got to be in the mix." "Kalyn Ponga [has] probably got his nose in front for mine at the moment," Mr Belcher continues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
