I'd say Smith, Slater, Thurston and Cronk will retire in a couple of years and Queensland don't really have many players to fill the spots left by these four players.
Hunt will replace Cronk.
Milford will probably replace Thurston.
Inglis will replace Slater.
No idea who replaces Smith.
Take all these out and Queensland are in for a long couple of years of defeats before i see them winning again.
As for NSW losing Hayne I don't see it being too big a deal in the long run. Short term solution would be Hopoate, Dugan or even Brette Stewart. Maybe Tuivasa-Sheck depending on how good he goes for Roosters leading up to origin. But I'd say our next few players to retire will be Gallen, Farrah and Bird. All of these are easily replaceable. Peats will definitely take over at Hooker when Farrah leaves and anyone could replace Gallen and Bird.
"He got wider in attack, particularly towards Mam side of the field that helped him poke the nose through and make metres. Brisbane were back peddling the whole second half bar one set on our own line where Samrani stayed down and Reynolds went off."
"De Belin looked way better in his 2nd stint. But his sole purpose is defence, in that portion of the game where Brisbane middles tried to wrestle back momentum in the middle he was solid in defence. "
