Let's do this. And now on the continuous call team, the Friday night star five. Yeah, well, the obvious question to start off with tonight, Joshua, we might start with you and we'll just whiz through these five questions, boys. What changes, if any, do you make to the New South Wales team for game two at the MCG? Jamon? Well, obviously in the centres, no swally there. So Staggs or Burton will come in, you'd have to think. And look...

Nico, I think he has to make way for Mitch Moses. I think they're kicking game. Mitch Moses has. Yeah, I'd pick him. What about Luttrell in the centres? Oh, look, Burton's already in the AD and he knows how they're going to play. Staggs has been there as well, but I don't know. If Luttrell wants to play, then yes, but...

He's got to show that he wants it and how bad he wants it. I pick Luttrell if he shows us what he's got in the next couple of weeks. If he gets back to some decent form, I'm picking him because he's a game-breaker. Now, this is an interesting one because there seems to be this inference at the moment that the...

the reckless tackle on Reece Walsh was a deliberate ploy to eliminate him from the game. Now, Piggy, you can't say that because nobody deliberately goes out there to rule the player out of the game. But there's a difference between eliminating a player from the game and targeting a player. That's what New South Wales were doing. They were targeting the attacking weapon that is Reece Walsh, and there's no issue with that. No, it was just a tackle that's gone wrong, and it's been dealt with, and we all move on. I don't think there was anything...

about a deliberate ploy to eliminate him from the game. So it was just an unfortunate incident. Josh? Yeah, look, if you're part of the spine, you're going to be targeted because they're the players that normally win the games. It's in every, not just Origin, club footy as well. You try and take out the spine...

like try and shut him down and that that means putting pressure on him I mean I did it with Billy as well I used to try and shut him down whenever I could fly it at a line try and get him get hold of him shut him down it just went unfortunately wrong for Joseph well speaking of Billy Josh are we underestimating the role the Queensland coach is playing at the moment given he never coached before getting the Queensland look I'm not underestimating it at all I think people might but if you

know what Billy was like, the type of player he is. If you saw him, I got to spend a lot of time with him in the Australian sides. He would have a lot of input into the way that the team would attack and I'm sure he had the same input with Mel as well. When you look at Origin, the three players you talk about,

dominating New South Wales were Smith, Slater, Kronk and now Thurston and most of them are on the coaching staff so it's no surprise to me. Piggy? I don't underestimate him he's done a phenomenal job with the Queensland side and continues to do so. Alright we've pretty much answered number four is it time for the naysayers to start opening their eyes and appreciating the rapid rise of Women's Rugby League and Michael Chek of Piggy is on the shortlist of coaches for the Parramatta Gig and

Is it we're trying something different or do you think they'll go for a Hanay or Jason Riles? Yeah, look, I think they'll go for a rugby league person. You know, obviously there's a few people pushing Michael Checker for that role, but I think it'll come down to a Riles, Hanay, Maguire type coach. All right, Josh, quickly. Yeah, I think it'll be a football person.
