Mitchell Moses is 26 and will be the backup halfback for the next 5 years unless someone comes along who is better. Adam Reynolds is 31. Right now was the perfect time to blood Moses.Moses is more than 3 years older than Nathan Cleary and has played plenty of FG football including finals football... and 28 year old Wighton is partnering him
Everybody needs blooding at Origin.Moses will be 27 in a couple months... he earns almost $1 million a year, already has 8 years of FG behind him, played finals, played lesser rep football etc... if, after all that, he needs blooding, then he isn't up to it
and if all players are fit and ready to go next year, Luke Keary should be NSW halfback ahead of Moses
and I still think Burton will be in the discussion for rep jumpers within two years even though he will be playing for us
nope... was a huge Moses fan when he was coming through, thought he would be a superstarEverybody needs blooding at Origin.
Keary played Origin last year and was terrible.
Burton is not a halfback right now and not Origin level.
You're hating on Moses for no real reason. The only options were him or 31 year old Adam Reynolds. If the series was on the line I'd go Adam Reynolds but complaing about going Moses in a dead rubber is too much.
Fifita dropped but Felise Kaufusi keeps getting selected? WowApparently the QLD team has been leaked. Fifita dropped and the Hammer is up against Tommy T.

If Cleary was to go down next year (or in the future) at least Moses has had a game. Players like Reynolds and Pearce are getting too old. I would of went Walker and Reynolds if the series was on the line.Moses is more than 3 years older than Nathan Cleary and has played plenty of FG football including finals football... and 28 year old Wighton is partnering him
Fifita dropped or suspended? I heard the latter.Fifita dropped but Felise Kaufusi keeps getting selected? Wow
Hammer's the target I guess.Apparently the QLD team has been leaked. Fifita dropped and the Hammer is up against Tommy T.

Moses was not even in the 27 man Origin squad last year... I just think Fittler is trying again to be cleverer than he really isIf Cleary was to go down next year (or in the future) at least Moses has had a game. Players like Reynolds and Pearce are getting too old. I would of went Walker and Reynolds if the series was on the line.
Bringing up last year is irrelevant. To'o, Sims & Martin weren't in last year's squad either.Moses was not even in the 27 man Origin squad last year... I just think Fittler is trying again to be cleverer than he really is
I wonder if he was left out because they assumed he was going to miss a game through suspension?Apparently the QLD team has been leaked. Fifita dropped and the Hammer is up against Tommy T.

Kaufusi is fucking trash. Shouldnt have ever been selectedFifita dropped but Felise Kaufusi keeps getting selected? Wow
it is relevant if we are all of a sudden proclaiming Mitchell Moses as the no. 2 Blues halfback for the next 5 years when he could not even make a 27 man NSW squad a mere 8-9 months agoBringing up last year is irrelevant. To'o, Sims & Martin weren't in last year's squad either.
