Who would you like to see replace the injured players?

Josh Morris is out until Round 19 and should miss the rest of the series.

Cooper Cronk is out until Round 22 and will definitely miss the rest of the series.

Billy Slater is out until Round 15 and is a 50% chance of missing Origin 2.

Cameron Smith is out until Round 13 and will almost definitely play in Origin 2.

Daly Cherry Evans is out until Round 13 and will almost definitely play in Origin 2.

Brett Morris will almost definitely miss the rest of the series.

Anthony Watmough should miss the rest of the series and could miss the rest of the season.

Paul Gallen had a MRI Scan last night and the results are unknown, it is my presumption that he will play.

Josh Reynolds had his charge downgraded and will not miss a game.

Trent Hodkinson has been cleared of a nose injury and will not miss a game.

Sam Thaiday is set to play this week and will be good to go for Origin 2.

Andrew Fifita will return next round and will be available for Origin 2.

Greg Bird will return from suspension this week and will be available for Origin 2.

Boyd Cordner will return in Round 18 and will miss Origin 2 and is a chance of being available for Origin 3.

"He played two weeks I think at left centre last year at the start. We abandoned that quickly but maybe we can consider it next year with Russell gone. Maybe a year or two next to the fox would sort him out."

Hoppa and Taufua for the twins and Fifita for Choc. Bird will find a way in, hope he stays out, he has too many errors for SOO.

  Could be utility on the bench in place of an ineffective Lewis.

  Lewis will get better with more games under his belt. I wouldn't drop him.

The Morris boys will be a huge loss. Hopoate is an obvious choice but I'm not sure about Brett's replacement.

  Taufua and Mansour have to be the main 2 maybe with Richards an outside chance.

Greg Bird slots straight in to the back row for Watmough, Fifita slots straight in to replace one of our bench forwards and Hoppa slots in at right centre. There are a number of players that can replace Brett Morris on the wing, maybe Taufua for his size. I think we're in a good position to take out origin 2 and look like we'll have a better lineup. Hopefully we don't lose any key players to injury or suspension before them.

Bird in for Watmough

Hard to replace Gallen he was great in Origin 1

Likely Bird in for Watmough, Fifita in for Lewis. Hopoate and Taufua in for the Morris boys. Lewis 18th man on standby for Gallen, Mansour 19th man. Tony Williams to leave the squad when Cordner returns.

Greg Bird will return from suspension this week and will be available for Origin 2.
