Lacklustre performances on-field, where the Bulls looked like they were going through the motions last summer, have seen an injection of youth onto the playing list.

Calls like these are why the Shield needs a third umpire.
Could have changed the game.
NSW defeat Queensland in a thriller after controversial run out call
Correct.
Foakes catching Labuschagne would have lessened the margin of defeat, but wouldn’t have changed the result.
Bairstow will likely come into considerations after this Test, if Butler has another poor game.

Very good pickup ozinsa. ????
If I was a Roar editor, I would change the first line to “after this Ashes series”.

This article was written under the assumption that no one would be beating Pogacar.
I like O’Connor’s chances for a podium, though.

Agree entirely, Lachie!
Starc is cooked, and clearly needs a break from cricket. His outburst at Bryce Street was just the latest example of a man in a frayed mental state.
His Shield bowling average is about 49, and he arguably should have been left out of this match, on form.
Conway has a better record against Queensland.
Michael Neser must be considered for the Ashes
Matth,
Get in quick, otherwise I will steal this article concept! 🏉

Very sad! Yet another reason why Queensland is the superior sporting state. 😛

I do not! As corrected below, Stimson is currently contracted with Bulldogs

In other big news, former New Zealand fullback Kevin Locke has just signed for the Magpies!
Bretherton and the team behind the scenes at Davies must have good connections.

Thanks my fact-checking came from the 2017 Grand Final team, and their Wikipedia articles, which may not have been updated recently.
Will be careful next time!
Why you should watch the Intrust Super Cup this season
Good fact checking Dogs of War, my error!
Purely from memory, Stimson played in the famous 2017 Grand Final against the PNG Hunters, so probably had that in the back of my mind.

Good pickup Rob! The Hunters will be sacrificing a lot for our entertainment this season here in Queensland.

Based on past form, I doubt it, but we can always dream!
They had the courage to drop Starc for Siddle in the Ashes, which gives us some hope…
Sorry Mitch, it’s Neser’s time to shine
Neser at No.7 is an interesting one I have heard.
He probably couldn’t do worse than Wade or Head atm.
Sorry Mitch, it’s Neser’s time to shine
Hi Scott,
I hope the concept of this article was entirely original, and not in any way taken from an article about Neser that I submitted last night. 😊
Love your work,
Max 🏏
Mitchell Starc should be dropped for Brisbane
Why do you think this is?

Hi Elvis,
As mentioned in the fine-print, this article series concerns only pace-bowling all-rounders

Speaking of the next Keith Miller, Cameron Green just got out for 45 today.
How do we rate him so far, Roarers?

Thanks Rellum!
Yes, bacting in particular. Bryce Street has fallen away a bit (although still scoring runs for Uni)
The call to drop Burns from the contract list was a little premature I thought but it’s done now.
A lot riding on guys like Weibgen, now, with Uz soon to retire.
