Luai won't play again. His cards been stamped. With Moses out for an extended period and Walker now finished I think the 5/8 will be Hynes or Burton. Don't discount Magic especially if his form continues to rise.

Tedesco will be fullback and captain.

Critta and Turbo centres for me. Tago is the backup. There will be a massive blow up cries of racism but there's no other option anymore.

Fox really needs to show something in the next few weeks IMO or he might lose his wing spot to Edwards or May.

Give me time to think about the forwards. With McGuire as coach I can see Api being the 9 and RCG getting a start as the Penrith clique gone from the selection room. I like the idea of Murray on the bench.

Queensland have lost Tino and Gilbert for the year big blow to them both outstanding players. Arrow is a shot duck.

Hammer will be there instead of Gagai unless injured.

Walsh is in front of Ponga.

Be very close between Coates and Cobbo.

I think Hopgood will be there. They used Fotuaika for games 2 & 3 last year if he steps up in Tino's absence I can see him being retained by Slater.

I hope McGuire looks past the idiots on channel 9 when picking the NSW team and picks on substance.

They will go Luai and keep the Penrith combo. Walker is out of form and Nicho isn't a 5/8th.

I reckon Drinkwater is the form FB of the comp and probably the most creative. If he's not FB he should be considered for 5/8th.

With so many rep players like Cleary, Haas, Tino, Walsh, Moses etc dropping like flies after just three weeks, whatever team someone comes up with now will change massively soon.

Luai has been terrible for the majority of his Origin career. I hope that he doesn't make the team.

Teddy has been better than Drinkwater this season.
Drinkwater has kicked off his 2024 campaign in style, averaging 164 running metres per game, while also racking up three try assists and 14 tackle breaks, to help the Cowboys sit alone at the top of the premiership ladder.

I don't see Luai being there. His attitude during the games he played last year was very poor. He was flicked for game 3. He's been marked never to return.

Cobbo instead of Gagai and Mo Fotueka/Horsbough instead of Hopgood, but pretty close I reckon..

Biggest question is if Madge selects LOLtrell. Personally, I wouldn't. His attitude appears to be poor and seems more focused on his brothers and commenting on his people's behalf than playing footy.

I'm not against selecting Turbo on the Sting and would probably rather him out there than Dyl Eds. I think 5/8th is still up for grabs at this stage and I'd like to see Olakawatu get a run.

1) Tabasco. Walsh
2) Turbo. Coates
3) Best. Holmes
4) Critta. Hammer
5) To'o. Cobloaf
6) ?? Cunster
7) Cleary. Giraffe Neck Evans
8) Haasole. G.I Collins
9) Api. Hunt
10) RCG. Cotter
11) Martin. Nanai
12) Olakawatu. FatFifta
13) Yeo. Carigan

14) Cook. Grant
15) Paulo. Big Red Horsborough
16) Jurbo. Flegler
17) Kolamatangi. Hopgood
