What's happening with Dugan's personal life?
He broke a drinking ban he had. To have a drinking ban in the first place is one thing but to break it, that's just stupidity.

Your not alone there bud.
Origin is a fairly different game to NRL games though and I think Mini has proven that Origin is an environment that he excels in and its probably because he likes to get himself involved more than most fullbacks. Under the high ball he's extremely reliable. He used to be a really good final line of defence but admittedly his efforts recently in that department have been poor. Stewart hasnt done anything wrong but he's yet to really assert himself at state level. Mini's connection with Pearce is much more pronounced than anything Stewart has with his Manly teammates because Pearce is one of the teams' playmakers.

I would love for Stewart to make the No. 1 jersey his but hes yet to convince me. QLD are such a polished team that I'm not sure his game is well suited to Origin but hopefully he proves me wrong.
Each to their own I guess, I do agree Mini was a great origin player however I think his time has passed, this was evident in game 3 last year. And I think Stewart's connection with his brother is the strongest on the team.

Anyway, selectors aren't going to pick mini. It's between Stewart, Hayne and Dugan. I just wish Ben Barba was from NSW.
He just needs to be more involved.
Well I thought he was involved as he could of been. Josh Morris was the least involved in the back line.
Yeah was a shame to see Morris not as involved as he should've been. Was expecting a bit more from him.

Imagine Josh and Brett Morris both playing for Blues [MOG]
Mini is playing significantly better this year than he was last year. I was shocked when he was selected last year because based on form, he was pretty average, but this year, he's not far from his best footy of 5 years ago.

Last night Stewart had 4 dummy half runs and 0 hit ups which is well below both his and even moreso Mini's averages. He did what was asked of him but nothing more. Definately had opportunities to be more involved.
I thought Morris was pretty good. His stats look like he didn't do too much but he made some very important one-on-one tackles and had some good runs. I thought he was O.K.

Although Mini did have a shocker in Game 3 last year, I don't think that means his time has passed. He's obviously getting older but what I'm saying is, if you're good enough, you're good enough and I think he is at the moment.

I think Stewart, Dugan or Mini would all do fine at FB for NSW. I doubt any of them would let NSW down. Hayne on the other hand... As good as he is in attack, he postional play is VERY bad. I have a feeling he would leak a few trys back there. He might score two, but he'll let in three.

My only change for Game 2 would be Creagh out for Watmough.

Well said MJ, that's how I feel.
