State of Origin Scott Prince must play for Qld

As the State of Origin Series for 2008 gets into full swing with the NSW Blues taking first blood in the 3 game series, the Queensland Origin selectors must bite the bullet and choose Scott Prince in their team for Game 2 in Queensland.

While Scott Prince went down with his Gold Coast Titans today in a face off against the Wests Tigers, he remains the halfback with the most creativity and his form simply cannot be ignored as he continues to press his claims for a birth in the Queensland maroons side.

While Darren Lockyer remains injured; some say he *may* play in the State of Origin Game 2, but this remains highly unlikely and while Jonathan Thurston is sure to keep his no.7 spot, the change involved Karmichael Hunt and Scott Prince must surely be enacted.

Karmichael Hunt was forced to do too much defence and basically he had no input for the Queensland attack as the NSW Blues forced they way into the lead and never let it go; the side winning the opening ANZ Stadium game in comfortable fashion and under coach Craig Bellamy they remain hot favourites among sports betters, bookies and all NRL punters.

So hold on to your hats, check your odds and if you are a Queensland supporter, for NRL Results, the NRL Table and make sure your selectors choose Scott Prince.
