Been looking over the team selections announced yesterday. Doesn't look like a great time for NSW for game 1. Especially based on form this season.
The only positions where NSW has the advantage is for half back (where Mitchell Pearce slightly hedges Cooper Cronk) and the front row where Napa and Myles are outclassed by Fifita and Woods.
Also Josh Jackson slightly shades Papalii in the Second row.
But every other position, its all Queensland. Biggest mismatches are in the centres, where Chambers is all over Dugan, and Hooker, where poor old Peats is going to get a master class from Smith.
As for the Slater/Boyd dilemma, really Boyd is the second best Fullback this year, behind Gutherson. Couldn't be dropped, especially when Slater has yet to regain his form.
