fullback Reece Walsh just two minutes into the Suncorp Stadium clash, won by the Maroons 32-6, bench forward Cameron Murray was undoubtedly the most logical option to slot into the centres.But Fittler and his helpers made a call that's copping a fierce lashing, shifting Stephen Crichton from left centre to right centre and throwing in Cook at left centre.
"I felt sorry for Damien Cook, having to play all that time in the centres," Gould added on Nine's post-match show."But that wouldn't have changed the result." "I'm not going to talk about interchanges, I'm not going to talk about who we chose," said the NSW mentor.
