NRL: Former NSW State of Origin players breakdown Michael Maguire's overhauled Blues squad.
It’s the State of Origin selection bombshell everyone in the game is walking on eggshells around because it involves one of the NRL’s nicest blokes .
Don’t get me wrong. I’m backing Maguire’s judgement on this because I genuinely do believe it is the right call given Hynes has been among the NRL’s best throughout the first three months of the season.Watch every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo.

On the flip side, Hynes was so out of sorts in the early exchanges you were entitled to think the pressure of the occasion got the better of him as he came up with four first half errors, including two kicks out on the full. To either select Bulldog Matt Burton or the Roosters’ Luke Keary, who were basically the last men standing in the race to partner Luai.
Instead, Maguire opted for rugby-bound Joseph Suaalii in the centres and the Dragons Zac Lomax on the wing.But going back to Hornby’s statement, of the three who would Queensland least like to mark up against?
