Three players need to be dropped no matter what happens from now til origin 3, Tedesco, Luai and Yeo. These were amongst the first picked last few years but they haven’t delivered
Latrell deserves a crack at the fullback spot if he is fit. If your looking to pick for the future, Latrell needs to have his shot at making the fullback spot his own. Edwards, as great as he is at club land, doesn’t do it for me and tbh I want less Penrith in the side.
Burton has to be picked no matter what. Can’t believe he’s been left out twice. His left boot is a monster and he covers the whole backline in case anything goes wrong. He’ll have Walsh seeing stars trying to catch his bombs.
Haumole and Keaon are picked as well. NFI what Hudson Young or Frizell offer that these two don’t.
Murray in to starting lock. Klemmer in instead of Paulo. De Belin to play the Jurbo role. Idc about his indiscretions, he’s the best defensive middle in the NRL. A bench spot for hooker is a complete waste. Either JDB or Murray can play in case the worst happens. Go for an attacking weapon or another forward. Not fussed who the hooker is, both are great players.
1. Latrell
2. To’o
3. Campbell Graham
4. Burton
5. Fox
6. Walker
7. Hynes
8. Haas
9. Robson
10. De Belin
11. Keaon
12. Haumole
13. Murray
14. Edwards/Moses/RCG/anyone other than Cook
15. Martin
16. Klemmer
17. Leniu
I’d also be fine with Moses starting or Walker. Hynes gets his shot at either 6 or 7.
