About this episode

Gus discusses the State of Origin selection drama and analyzes key decisions for New South Wales ahead of Game Two.

State of Origin selection drama dominates this week's Six Tackles with Gus as Phil Gould questions some of New South Wales' biggest Game Two decisions ahead of the MCG blockbuster. Why isn't Haumole Olakau'atu in the Blues' best 17? Is Mitchell Moses a gamble worth taking? And has Laurie Daley got the balance of his bench right? Gus also breaks down Queensland's changes, explains why the Maroons always seem to find another gear after a loss, reflects on his memories of playing at the MCG, discusses the Dolphins' rise under Kristian Woolf and previews Round 15.
