Mainly agree except I’d keep Teddy and Turbo in their current positions. I would be open for swapping them around though is NSW get to an unbeatable lead like they did in game 1 this year.

I'd swap them around during the game so they spend around 40 min each at fullback.

 

[Daustin]

I’d have to find a spot for papenhuyzen on the bench

[ALX25]

Collins will be there for QLD. Suspect Arrow won't be available for next years series.
DCE coming to the end of his tenure as well.
Still lack depth in the backs.

Are you predicting that Teddy is out injured ?

 

[Wahesh]

Also I know it's not going to happen, but considering the QLD got it this year, NSW should have all 3 games next year:

Wollongong
Sydney
Newcastle.

Again, can someone tell me why QLD got game 3 and not some place like WA or SA???

 

[Freakzilla]

Look at the whole team.

 

[Freakzilla]

Collins will be there for QLD. Suspect Arrow won't be available for next years series.
DCE coming to the end of his tenure as well.
Still lack depth in the backs.

Either Collins or Arrow with the other not in the team.

Christian Welch
Josh Papali'i
Kurt Capewell
Felise Kaufusi
David Fifita
Tino Fa'asuamaleaui
Moeaki Fotuaika

Those 7 are certainties if fit.

 

[foREVerA7X]

I think if Papsmear is fit he has to be Fullback or not in the team unfortunately. His utility value isn't as high as say Jack Whighton (although Pappy is a better player).

Teddy will be 29 next year and after all dancing and spinning and stopping I'd be happy to leave him out if Papsmear is playing better than Teddy at the time.

Outside of that change, we'd assume Angus in for Sims and Jake Turbo in somewhere and the team should be vastly similar.

As for QLD, basically add Collins for Milo and Grant for Flegler and it should be the same. I'd start Ben Hunt at Hooker and rotate with Grant as the Storm is doing and what QLD did last year with Jake Friend.

I actually think you could start Pap off the bench and shift Tedesco into that roaming 9/13 role

 

[COVENS]

1. Tedesco
2. JAC/To'O (pending form)
3. Latrell
4. Staggs
5. Trbojevic
6. Luai

8. Saifiti
9. Cook/Koroisau (pending form)
10. Trbojevic
11. Crichton
12. Sims/Frizell (pending form)
13. Yeo

14. Papenhuyzen
15. Murray
16. Haas
17. Paulo

 

[The Innovator]

Look at the whole team.

Wow , you must be joking. Didn’t even look past fullback for Tedesco. Turbo is man of the series at centre and Teddy had another superb series. Surely you jest.

 

[Freakzilla]

Updated.

 

[Downtowndog]

1. Tedesco
2. To'o
3. Mitchell
4. Trbojevic
5. JAC

10. Saifiti
11. Murray
12. Martin
13. Yeo

14. Hynes
15. Paulo
16. Finucane
17. King

Under no circumstances should Jake Trbojevic be anywhere near the squad

 

[Brendan7]

How is Fafita even near the QLD side on form? Deserves to be in QLD cup.

As for NSW, pretty much spot on although Victor Radley if fit is in the 17. I'd actually be surprised if he's not in front of Burton.
