Queensland State of Origin side named
June 25, 2008
North Queensland Cowboys hardman Carl Webb was unlucky to miss inclusion in the Maroons side named today to meet the NSW Blues at ANZ Stadium next Wednesday. Broncos improver Ben Hannant keeps his place on the Maroons bench.
Brisbane team-mate Karmichael Hunt will still keep the fullback position, meaning Billy Slater will again be injected from the reserve bench.
Titans forward Ashley Harrison - who also started game two despite being initially named on the bench - has been chosen in the second-row for Origin
Melbourne rake Cameron Smith will again captain the team in the absence of Darren Lockyer (knee).
In 13 previous visits to ANZ Stadium, Queensland have managed only one win and a draw with 11 losses.
Queensland: Karmichael Hunt, Darius Boyd, Greg Inglis, Brent Tate, Israel Folau, Johnathan Thurston, Scott Prince, Steve Price, Cameron Smith (capt), Petero Civoniceva, Michael Crocker, Ashley Harrison, Dallas Johnson. Interchange: Billy Slater, Ben Hannant, Nate Myles, Sam Thaiday.

- Happy Dragon : I'm with you hate, the idiots who make these decisions need 2 b shot? Even though I like the SFS, how is this going 2 b a home ground advantage? The atmosphere won't b the same like it would b at Leichhart or Campbelltown! U can't beat the atmosphere at the old grounds? I used 2 love going 2 Redfern oval but hated Belmore as the Dragons always lost there, LOL! I wish the Charity Shield was played back at SFS though, there's no atmosphere at ANZ
- Hate Qld : once again the top idiots have decided to take the game away from the fans,west tigers playing games out out the sfs not and homebush,with is good ,but what about six from campbelltown and six from leichhart oval,once again the fans are ignored no wonder the crowds are down

- tomymelbstorm : well its hard to put in as he has but you know what i mean
- tomymelbstorm : he layed the foundations man you guys gotta keep building hope the rest of the coaching staff put in as he has
- KING WALLY : i think we will be ok, we got a lot of passion up here, and a lot of ex legends so we should be right, and yeh there is a lot of pride in the broncs colors.
- KING WALLY : yeh, but no benno man,he has been the backbone, i dont know bris without him, no one does.
- tomymelbstorm : alot of pride in that jersy
- tomymelbstorm : i think yous should do right man its the way the broncos are
- KING WALLY : we havent signed many, got a lot of young blokes though, weve been in this position many times before but we always had benno to sort it all out.
- tomymelbstorm : alot of coaches are working formulas and testing areas early i know where your coming from though
- KING WALLY : im worried about next year
- KING WALLY : i tend to disagree, the early rounds are important especially if you have a lot of rep players, get a good start to the year.
- tomymelbstorm : how you think the broncs will travel without bennet?
- tomymelbstorm : they beat us in the early rounds but you never take the early rounds to seriously
- KING WALLY : cronulla played well early on though, they had a lot of away games early, and won most of em.
- tomymelbstorm : haha yeh be interesting how they shape up in the next two seasons
- KING WALLY : ive now got a soft spot for the dragons.
- KING WALLY : yeh, origin takes it out of em eh. i remember what it was like when we had sailor tuquiri, walterss, langer, hancock,renouf, lockyer, webcke,tallisand bennett out, very hard to play good every week.
- tomymelbstorm : cronulla had an easy run into the finals i knew that win was hollow
- tomymelbstorm : its hard to admit when you want your team to produce the goods
- tomymelbstorm : yeh to be honest with you wally we were very lucky man we were running on tired legs since origin
- KING WALLY : eventually they scored, bloody inglis!
- KING WALLY : i honestly thought bris were the better side, but thats footy eh, it goes for 80 not 79! we kept letting melb down our end.
- tomymelbstorm : felt for bennet being his last at the broncs and all
- tomymelbstorm : yeah that was our best win besides our two gfs man i felt your pain though
- KING WALLY : to lose like that was just devastating.
- KING WALLY : no, im not like that, but i tell ya what mate, you guys broke my heart in the second semi.
- tomymelbstorm : lol yeah man you gunna put the slipper in lol
- KING WALLY : tomy, you melb supporter by any chance?
- KING WALLY : mason and anasta, if they dont play at all next year roosters will win every game by 30!
- tomymelbstorm : lol yeah bad influence mason lol
