Reed Mahoney for Origin?

With the long term injury to Jake Friend on the weekend, could Reed Mahoney come into consideration for the Qld Origin Hooker position? Reedy has been 1 of the form hookers of the competition so far and it would seem the only person in front is Ben Hunt who is not a specialist in the position. QLD threw the hooking role to a young Cameron Smith many years ago and it saw him elevate his game to a new level. I can certainly see them doing the same with Reedy who has already been part of the junior QLD sides. I know he is young and only starting his career but I only see upsides to his selection. To have an origin hooker in the side come semi finals time would be fantastic.

"Question EA If Lorenzo is that talented why not next year? Plenty of players debut at 19. Katoa, Talagi, Stange, Mam. Why does JR need to be patient? Why not give him a crack?"

"I tend to agree LB. I think he needs to see some evidence that Joash can play 5/8 before committing to him for the full year. If not, I think he will go hard at chasing another young half stuck behind someone. I still think he's going after Pezet."

"Good point about what role he is meant to be playing. Walker is the type of Lock Ryles wants and wants him playing big minutes though Hopgood is a Lock aswell. Does a move to the edge or being an out and out Prop assist his confidence. Just run,…"
