Quote: NSW "Hayne not been in the best form this year, would have at least had him on the week though.
Although Ricky Stuart wants to play people in positions they play for their club, so he wasn't going to play Idris at left centre because he normally plays on the right. Gansier is on the right for the Blues, cant argue with that.
Hodges and Inglis out for the QLD.'"
Big loss in the Qlds back line. Looking at the backs, I would give the edge to NSW. The half backs are untested though, which could be interesting. I still think Qlds will pull off the first win.
