Reed Mahoney for Origin?

Posted by ScottX on April 26, 2019 at 1:04pm in NRL

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.

"Interesting take on Hopgood there LB.
Apart from handling errors, i thought he had been going fine. This year he is supposedly on $320K of the salary cap, and is playing every week. I'm more concerned about say Matterson on $650k or Paulo on $950k,…"
