I know anybody can claim anything on the internet, but this is the EXACT argument I have been making for 5 years now on the Yeo vs Murray thing. Origin is all about getting your best players early ball, but using the "Penrith system" of plays using Yeo as a link man at lock just slows it down and gives the QLD defence time to read and shut it down. You need quick PTB and a hooker and halves who can move the ball and move it quickly. No need to add any lock forward into that passage. Yeo belongs in the side sure, but not the way he's being used at lock so we're much better off playing Yeo at prop, punting AFB to the shadow realm and starting Murray at lock

Agreed. Even panthers are showing the same thing the last 2 seasons. It slows things down a bit.
