Love the dynamic between these two men. There is a genuine respect and friendship between them and what they share on the game is informed but down to earth.
Yes Ezra has been in great form. But everyone forgetting that Dearden made one of the best tackles ever, earlier in the season. He's built to rep QLD.
As a cows fan his been the best player in a struggling team n his defence for a little bloke is up there with the best ever
Agreed, Ezra is the better attacking player right now, but his defence just needs a bit more work. He's already shown a big improvement over last year, but just needs a bit more time to mature. He should definitely be next man up though if there's another injury.
What about Ben hunt 5/8, Mann of the bench. Come on when the forwards get tired and hunt shifts to Hooker. Won't happen but I think it would work. Safe option is just bring in dreden, good defence, dosent make mistakes, done the job in the past.
@@SO-om2yy Seems a little complicated. Sounds like something NSW would do. I think Slater is a big fan of Grant and Hunt rotation
as a blues fan i hope they pick dearden
Munster's injury is a blessing in disguise, better way to go than in the first 20 minutes of Origin Game 1
So true
is it me or does Dearden play like a young cooper cronk.. legit cooper had an elite running game and elite defence early and developed his kicking and game management through hard work later.. how does that not sound like dearden
Love the Cronk & Johns Podcast!
Deardon seems like a guy who never gets injured. Mann on the other hand, dudes knees are on,life support with all that strapping. Deardon also, has much better defense than Mann. Dudes always the last man standing when someone misses a tackle or chasing down players.His defending better then Val Holmes and drink water at the moment who are much bigger then him.
Even if dearden defense is a little bit better then mam (which I don’t even think is a foregone conclusion) mam is light years ahead in attack and X factor, dearden only advantage is that he’s played a origin game, other then that mam should be the pick every day of the week, and I think he will be, billy is a smart man
@@willeaves6803 agree to disagree. I’ve never seen Mann chase a defender down or stop a try being scored. His attack will be useless after making 100 tackles. Deardon is the fittest cowboy and possibly qlder. But, We’ll let Billy decide. Mann will play origin eventual one day expecially once dce and hunt retire.
deardon makes sense and should be. better than ezra and games are won on defence too. no point scoring points if you bleed them too
you mean ezra MAM not kurt MANN
I see deardon the better he skills are on par or better then mann
Always interesting.
give me these 2 over fittler and johns anyday.
Matty is way smarter than Joey
Mam will combine well with Walsh and Cobbo. Will have a good scoreline 😊
Cooper in my mind is the most underated half in the modern era .. Whats a selction headache, for both teams ...
I'm 100% NSW but I would pick Cooper over Joey every time if I'm making the greatest team ever.
@@grantisshananaa4906 me too, bros got 6 rings
Tiny little nicho at lock 💀 this is delirious😂
If Dearden could override Townsend and get waaaay more ball the cowboys will play finals. The kid is mini Michael Morgan and a flat out star
Agree about Jock Madden. He's been great for the Broncos this year, gets better every week. He needs to keep them in the top 4 for the finals, then Reynolds can come back with that crucial experience to hopefully put in a better result than last year.
Yer lui been good with few out. He likes a big game.
Just on Jarome in the origin side. I think he would be fine PROVIDED he can get the ball out to the backs. Over the last 2 years Jarome has struggled to spread the ball like Cody Walker did in Game 3 2023 and look what happened. Jarome probably has the best defence and set completion of every five-eight, but he needs to learn to spread the ball in an origin. No use having a To'o or Addo-Carr touch the ball twice in an entire game (excluding kick returns).
To be fair he had cook as his centre. Also that 2021 origin series he gave alot of early ball to his outside backs and they really excelled.
If I were a player I wouldn't care much about playing Origin. It's just too much TV hype with no player protection. In the middle of the NRL season, No thanks I'll try to be available at any cost for the club that pays me all year around than a 3 game series that could possibly get me injured and get me to miss out on the finals and a GF appearance or win
Munster is made of lego..
Id be picking ezra no offense but Tom's confidence is shot. Ezra is winning his at a high his got that walsh patty combination
Wdym confidence is shot?
He's been playing consistently at a high standard. It's his team that's been struggling. Confidence is not an issue.
Stick to gaming psych 😂
Nah, Ezra’s very poor in defence. He gets run over or past ALL the time. At nrl level. And is not great at the 1%. He will get better.
Origin is all about defence and His knees will get a great work out.
Deardon all day.
@@alexjack5158 Agree can't remember what game recently that ezra missed two 1 on 1 tackles on the goal line where they scored
Jarome had a great game but Brian never saw the ball. 🐟
These guys tryin to be too smart... Ezra Mam is a superstar in-waiting and gives QLD a genuine X-Factor..
Dearden's reached his ceiling as a player, he'll be solid but not able to break a game open like Mam...
Tommy Deardon is a great player, but I would choose Ezra Mam at 6. Mam is something really special, like Kalyn Ponga, like Reece Walsh.
Luai has to be the 6, burton played himself out of the jersey against the raiders he just went missing against 11 men, Cody is past it given his form this year.
luai is a better 7 than he is a 6
No. Ezra is a better fit.
Who gives a rats what mat john's thinks about who will be picked for qld
True. He's doing his best to prop up players he'd like us to pick, not necessarily what would get the job done against NSW...
Why is no one throwing this spine out there??
6.DCE
7. HUNT
9. GRANT
I kinda feel dce and hunt are just too pure no 7 where they would get in each other way or whoever playing 6 couldn’t be effective as they were at 7
I think it works forcing hunt at 9 and in charge of the ruck where dce has full rein as a first receiver
@@swisscloud4309 yeah 100% I agree with you mate but for it to not be a talking point is crazy and at the end of the day QLD know how to make things work and those 2 are out and out professionals and experienced Origin players with team first mentality
Hunt on the bench with a pure 6, 7 and 9 is too valuable for QLD. If any of them are injured, he can take their spot. He is also versatile enough to play like a lock or maybe even centre if they are really desperate.
