As long as Fittler is coach QLD are a chance. They could have their halves missing and Allan at FB and still win.

 

[Delta]

Need Gamebreakers and Intimidating forwards. How TPJ has not been in conversation for Origin is really surprising to me. Despite what people say, I believe Radley would be excelent for Origin. Papenhuyzen should play 14.

Fittler is a shit coach but Queensland have never won a live game when Tommy T plays.

Tom Trbojevic is 6-0 in live Origin games.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Aslong as Freddy and Brandy aren't involved and they don't rely on that plodder J.Turbo to make metres I'll be happy.

Jake is a plodder in attack but his defense is incredible.

Agree. But yeah just a massive oversight by Freddy thinking he was up to it in the middle for so long. I'm happy having him in the side but only if we have 3 genuine front rowers in the side Infront of him (2 starters and 1 on bench).

 

[cookieman909]

I’d honestly get rid of Tedesco. He’s a ball hog. QLD prove time and time again, creative players win the games. Tonight they had Ponga, Hunt, Dearden and DCE on the field. Constant threats. Then chuck in Grant. Tedesco is a ball runner, not very creative. I’d have a mini clean out next year for the blues. Something like this considering no injuries.

1. Turbo
2. JAC
3. Mitchell
4. Wighton
5. To’o

6. ???
7. Cleary

8. RCG
9. Korisau
10. Jurbo
11. Murray
12. Crichton
13. Yeo

14. Hynes/Papi
15. Paulo
16. Crichton
17. That 2nd rower from Manly.

 

[Critta Magic]

Need a halfback to replace Cleary

 

[GoTheDoggies]

If Fittler is still coach, I will be on QLD again.

17. whatever front rower is in the best form

* Tedesco on the wing in place of To'o, as we can honestly live without Brian. Papi is NSW best #1 if fully fit and you have to get him in without dropping Teddy.

* I went with a new hooker on the bench as NSW need to plan for the future, Cook is done 32 next season, time to move on imo.

 

[habs]

dickfingers tupou is not to blame. Super lame forward pack needs a rethink. Cook was garbage. Whole side needs a rethink. Qld were not scared of our back 3. Tedesco is a good warrior but yeah good luck getting picked next year.

 

[foREVerA7X]

Papsmear will only play FB once Tabasco retires as Pappy can only play FB whereas Turbo and Latrell can play multiple and it's the only way to include all in starting side.

NSW forwards are a bunch of powder puff Tolman/Woods like. No one really strikes fear into the opposition.

Jurbo is still very up in the air for me. Yes he is very passionate and does a lot of clean up work but offers nothing more in attack. Both Saifiti brothers have shown passion and aggression and be worth a shot.

Freddy needs to stop worrying about what may happen in terms of his bench and having every position covered and pick big, angry boppers to come off the bench with a utility. Freddy also needs to focus on X factor and pick players who are in form and in position. Jack Whighton is perfect 18th man. Given the intensity in the middle, Slater has shown importance of duel hookers used correctly.

1) Tabasco
2) Brian To'o / Joe Suali
3) Turbo
4) Latrell
5) Addo Carr
6) Matt Burton
7) Nathan Cleary
8) Payne Haas
9) Api
10) D. Saifiti
11) Olakawtau / Kolamatangi
12) Murray
13) Yeo

14) Reece Robson
15) J. Saifiti
16) Jnr Paulo
17) Victor Radley

Tommy T has never lost a live game for NSW. His Origin record is 6-2 and the 2 loses were in dead rubbers.

 

[Flanagun]

Need a halfback to replace Cleary

I’m available.

Good. There’s about 50 blokes who should be in front of him.
