I like props on the bench as you can then rotate them earlier, before fatigue.
Some people like a quick bench thinking they will catch out a tired forward when they get on...but if you got plenty of forwards then they wont get tired...plus your best attacking backs are already on the field...we don't need a Gidley.

I choose Harrison at lock each year but with Cowboys toward the top of the ladder and Titans toward the bottom then I think it's fair Johnson pips him.

For those of you that haven't added Myles...just think back to a time when things got heated on the field...did you have a player like him beside you?

If Harro is fit I think he should play. Dallas went to the Euro Super League so Ash, on his form should get the jersey.

Inglis might be a weaklink, didn't think Id ever say that.

Cronk has been a fantastic addition to the Maroons over the last couple years.

Inglis has been playing outside the worst 5/8 in the game.
He'll kill it outside Lockyer

Of course...no rugby league team is going to beat the spine of Smith, Thurston, Lockyer and Slater

It's the combination I've ever seen!

I think in the modern game big bulky props are not needed. Maybe one or two in the team for the first 20min but affter that i would use players like Sam Tagataese in the prob positions.

A fresh big prop can be handy after the first twenty minutes...it takes a lot of energy for a smaller player to wrestle a fresh big prop.

I'm a massive fan of having a balanced team on the field and players like Slater, Thurston and Smith are waiting for a tired forward...at that stage I don't want to bring on another quick nimble player to over play his hand in front of these guys.

Just can't agree with you, IMO the less big props the better.

Your team would wear down the opposition faster and then take control of the match.

Looks like big trouble with Hodges going down against Penrith with what looks like a torn hamstring.

Bring in Tonga.

I liked your idea of Tagatese but you don't want many workhorses or play makers on the bench is what I don't like...they should be starting...at least Taga can be used with impact.

I think the team i posted first could cover a backline injury but apart from Vidot i don't see many back line players worth putting on the bench.

ATM slater is the best FB in the game but i would consider putting him on the wing and Barba at FB just because it would benefit the team.

I know he is a very good impact player but what's your reasoning?

Qld name two debutants for Origin I

Tracie Edmondson NRL.com Tue, May 17, 2011 - 1:05 PM

Storm centre Dane Nielsen, a late inclusion for injured star Greg Inglis, will join Broncos winger Jharal Yow Yeh as the only two debutants in an experienced Queensland line-up announced today for game one of the 2011 Harvey Norman State of Origin series next week.

Nielsen, 25, and Yow Yeh, 21, who made his Australian debut two weeks ago, have been named in a starting 13 otherwise filled with incumbents from the 2010 Series, Queensland's record-breaking fifth consecutive Origin series win. The 2011 series opener takes place at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday week (May 25).

The only other changes to the team, announced at a corporate function at Brisbane's Royal on the Park, are the inclusion on the bench of forwards Corey Parker and Jacob Lillyman. The Broncos' Parker, 29, last played Origin in 2005, while the Warriors' Lillyman, 27, last played in 2008.

Inglis is believed to have been omitted on medical grounds after South Sydney had him undergo more scans on Monday.

The NSW VB Blues team was announced on Sunday and featured five debutants.

The XXXX Queensland team for Origin 1 is:
1. Billy Slater (Storm)
2. Darius Boyd (Dragons)
3. Dane Nielsen (Storm)
4. Willie Tonga (Cowboys)
5. Jharal Yow Yeh (Broncos)
6. Darren Lockyer (c) (Broncos)
7. Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys)
8. Matthew Scott (Cowboys)
9. Cameron Smith (Storm)
10. Petero Civoniceva (Panthers)
11. Nate Myles (Roosters)
12. Sam Thaiday (Broncos)
13. Ashley Harrison (Titans)
Interchange
14. Cooper Cronk (Storm)
15. Corey Parker (Broncos)
16. Jacob Lillyman (Warriors)
17. Ben Hannant (Broncos)
18th man: David Taylor (Rabbitohs)

Probably the weakest QLD side since we last lost a series. Parker is a great player. But he's an 80 minute player and having him on the bench is a waste. Lillyman is another surprise, didn't think he was a chance to get a spot ahead of Taylor.

Yeah me too mate, he must have been close to a start, would be a dream to see 2 brothers at center.

Might have worked against him, they dont want the destraction

I think the lock was going to either Johnson or Harrison...both have high work rate and should start the game without a planned interchange.
There're not impact players and therefore not suited on the bench.

Nielsen was picked because he is a Storm player.

I think Cronk is a great HB probably the best in the comp but Barba would be better on the bench.
