Queensland players have responded to former NSW hardman Mark ‘Spudd’ Carroll’s claims the Maroons forwards “wouldn’t scare kids in a crèche”.
In his column for online newspaper The Nightly, Carroll described the Maroons pack as “a bunch of powder puffs” ahead of the State of Origin series decider at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night.
Carroll, who played seven Origin games for the Blues and was a fearsome and uncompromising forward, was salivating over NSW’s 38-18 demolition of Queensland at the MCG in game two where the Blues pack dominated.
Carroll was critical of the Maroons’ decision to overlook Gold Coast powerhouse David Fifita for the decider and took aim at the Maroons pack.
“These Queensland forwards wouldn’t scare kids in a creche,” Carroll wrote.

“Without Fifita there’s just no fear factor.
“They’ve got plenty of workers such as Lindsay Collins, Reuben Cotter and Pat Carrigan, but no X-factor. I thought Fifita would be brought in to play a role like Spencer Leniu does for NSW, a power forward who skittles defenders.”
