Maroons face Origin without Johnathan Thurston

QUEENSLAND Test rugby league halfback Johnathan Thurston is in danger of missing the deciding third State of Origin match.

Thurston was today charged by the NRL match review committee with contrary conduct.

The North Queensland co-captain will miss two games, including the Origin match, unless he can have his grade two charge for alleged contact on referee Matt Cecchin in Saturday night's win over the Warriors downgraded at a judiciary hearing.

An early guilty plea or an unsuccessful defence at the judiciary will result in a two-game ban - the Cowboys' clash with Penrith this Sunday and Origin III at Suncorp Stadium on July 6.

The news is a huge concern to Maroons coach Mal Meninga and his team who ared esperate to send Queensland legend Darren Lockyer out a winner and secure a sixth straight series win.

NSW are equally desperate to break their losing streak and picked up some momentum following last week's 18-8 Origin II victory at ANZ Stadium.

Hmm, watched the game live on Foxsports on Saturday night, and buggered if I recall JT making such contact. Pity they don't show the contact with the news.com.au article.

Cheers Rage. :)

Geez, dunno what to make of that. Hard to say if it was intentional or not (even though that doesn't matter). Strange how JT threw his arms up defensively, just before contact.

Whatever the outcome, as sure as sh!t. It will get blown out of proportion.. :p

Camera is that far away it's hard to see the contact. Looks like Thurston brushes the ref and they both go down.

If Thurston is suspended, we bring Cronk in and unleash hell on NSW.
QLD this series hasn't got out of cruise control this might just be the spark that does it.

You have to be kidding me.
How many times a year does this goose of a ref get knocked over, he has the worst positioning in the game.

I can not believe he was charged for this

I think this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEHX42wqINE)was easily as bad but Carney wasn't charged. Is this a ploy to help NSW win?

If it is it has back fired on them...Thurston wont be charged and Queensland has relied behind their team even stronger.

NSW just don't get it...no wonder Queenslanders are so passionate because those New South Welshman have so many double standards when the judiciary is concerned around State of Origin time it is as one person stated "ludicrous".

Thurston not guilty. Still pretty stupid charge. Refs need to have situational awareness and quit getting in the players way.

Disagree, they should be picked.


Why wouldn't Thursto be picked?

My mistake, he got of with a warning so he should be picked.


And why wouldn't Tim Mannah be picked?

Why would you pick him?

He was one of the better players for NSW in Game 2.

Disagree, they should be picked.

On what grounds can you justify picking either of the Morris twins? Have you watched either of them play this year?

Kate Snowden will not get in ahead of Manna for one decent performance against the bulldogs. He is not the style of forward ricky is looking for anyway..

Giant Queensland forward David Taylor is set to miss rugby league's deciding State of Origin match after being charged with a grade two dangerous throw.

The South Sydney enforcer faces four weeks on the sidelines if he takes the early guilty plea and a five match suspension if he fights the charge at a judiciary hearing and loses.

Taylor was charged on Monday after the NRL match video review committee viewed footage of his lifting tackle on Brisbane's Scott Anderson in Friday night's match played in atrociously wet conditions in Perth.

Maroons coach Mal Meninga was quoted before the charge was laid questioning whether Taylor could be suspended after NSW winger Akuila Uate was let off for a lifting tackle in the lead up to game two.

While Uate had his hands in between the legs of the tackled player, Taylor did not - however the second rower carries a heavy points loading after committing a similar and non-similar offence within the past two years.

Taylor is almost certain to fight the charge in a bid to be free to line-up for Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday week.

Sydney Roosters forward Frank-Paul Nuuausala was the only other player charged, after being accused of making dangerous contact with his knees, and will miss one match with the early guilty plea.

Jamie Soward limped off the field with 10 minutes to go against Manly after scoring a 90m try. Could be a hamstring problem. Rumours already out about Jarryd Hayne replacing him if he is ruled out.

Hodges back for the Maroons is a big bonus for Queensland. He won't let anyone down, especially Lockyer.

I still reckon Soward will play. Unless they are downplaying the injury.

Steelers
28-06-11, 08:21 PM
Nielsen on an extended bench? Hope he isn't included in the final 17 unless Hodges is ruled out for some reason.

DIEHARD
29-06-11, 02:32 PM
I think that is the case Steelers. QLD has been all over the place with centre selections due to injury. We all remember Tonga's heroic effort playing badly injured.

But now we have our first choice combo of Inglis and Hodges.

I'm so excited about Origin! Anyone know if they are going to unviel a statue to Lockyer at the game? Or maybe at his last Broncos game?

Galloway for Origin debut as Merrin exits

AAP Fri, Jul 01, 2011 - 10:28 AM

Keith Galloway is set to make his State of Origin debut for NSW in Wednesday's series-decider after fellow prop Trent Merrin was cut from the Blues squad on Friday.

Wests Tigers front rower Galloway is expected to earn a spot in the interchange bench in place of Merrin who played in the first two games of the series.

Merrin was part of an extended 20-man squad selected earlier in the week the deciding third game against Queensland at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.

But he was released by Blues coach Ricky Stuart and will now play for his club St George Illawarra in Sunday's NRL match against Newcastle.

Stuart gave no indication as to when he would finalise his final 17-man squad, with some lingering fitness concerns remaining over centre Michael Jennings, five eighth James Soward and utility Kurt Gidley.

Hodges running on is a 50/50 gamble.
He could produce crucial points which win the match - but theres is just as much chance of him limping off and leaving us a man down.......

I would like to see Ennis sent off the field tonight, with his body on a stretcher and his head in a bucket http://planetsmilies.net/ill-violated-dead-smiley-9436.gif

I couldn't believe how many times the Blues stuffed it up once they did get inside the Maroons 20. I did see Cartwright in the sheds before the game. Are you all sure he wasn't still the coaching assistant? :p

Anyways.........Congrats to Qld. The best first half by any team ever in any League game including International. Silly mistakes like Mini's 'trap' with his legs doesn't help though. I could name a few errors by the Blues but I am taking nothing away from Qld. They were unbeatable in the first half (35 minutes anyways) and NSW were never gunna pull back 24 points.

I think I said this last year.......We will get you next year!

On another note: Horrible horrible injury to Thurston!
