According to Phil Gould Brad Fittler will make sweeping changes

[Freakzilla]

Apparently no one will guess who the halves will be. In my opinion Mitchell Moses is a massive chance to be in the team.

These are the teams I think the coaches pick:

NSW:

01. James Tedesco
02. Tom Trbojevic
03. Euan Aitken
04. Latrell Mitchell
05. Nick Cotric
06. Mitchell Moses
07. Nathan Cleary (k)
08. Reagan Campbell-Gillard
09. Cameron McInnes
10. Trent Merrin
11. Tyson Frizell
12. Boyd Cordner (c)
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Damien Cook
15. Wade Graham
16. Jack DeBelin
17. David Klemmer

QLD:

01. Billy Slater (c)
02. Dane Gagai
03. Will Chambers
04. Greg Inglis
05. Darius Boyd
06. Cameron Munster
07. Ben Hunt (k)
08. Matt Scott
09. Andrew McCullough
10. Dylan Napa
11. Coen Hess
12. Gavin Cooper
13. Josh McGuire

14. Michael Morgan
15. Felise Kaufusi
16. Jai Arrow
17. Jarrod Wallace

The more dragons the better think we play them minus origin players. But would be stupid to play so many debutants qld are depleted and ripe for the picking

 

[FaceBreaker]

Nsw will bury Qld if those are the squads.

Ponga is the only qld player that scares me.

Ponga wont play game 1

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Scott and Napa as starting props, fuck that haha.

That's the best they have lol. We need to smash them this year

 

[Straight18]

Swap merrin for vaughn and graham for sims and that will be the side.

 

[Straight18]

Fittler is also big fan of peachey so dont be surprised if one of them hookers miss out to fit peach in.

 

[Straight18]

Shit boys i forgot addo carr would have to fit in there wouldnt he, maybe over tom or tedesco. Probably tom cause fittler fucks them rooster boys im sure of it.

 

[Nate DAWG]

If Addo Carr doesn't get picked it is a disgrace. Tom Turbo doesn't play winger and will get found out in defence all night. Cotric over Addo Carr! Has he even played a semi final? Addo Carr has performed on the biggest stage and excelled. He has been the best winger all year.

 

[coach]

Swap merrin for vaughn and graham for sims and that will be the side.

Merrin won't be there, Vaughan deserves a chance

 

[Wearnze]

Tedesco
Ado-Carr
Aitken
Mitchell
Cotric/Ferguson
Maloney
Cleary/Brooks
Campbell-Gillard
Cook
Vaughan
Cordner (only because he is captain, not because of his form)
Frizell
Trbojevic

Peachey/Cook
Klemmer
De Belin
Sims/Peachey

I think there is no reason why NSW can't have both Peachey and Cook on the bench. Will be amazing having both come on last 10 mins of each half.

Bangs on except I’d also toss tommy turbo over cotric. Fingerson might be the winner though. Has to be Cleary ahead of brooks he’s done nothing ever except this season. Not a guy I want in a blues jersey.

De belin could make way for Crichton at least in my books. Have to have tariq on the bench ffs. Shame Fifita isn’t there.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Aitken's defence is fucking trash, even my Dragons mates reckon he needs a lot of work before he's ready for Origin, in a couple of years maybe, hopefully not now!

Yeah I'm not sold on Aitken, I wish Waqa Blake was uninjured. Hoping Walker and Roberts have a strong couple of weeks

Aldo-Carr would get destroyed by Gagai in Origin

 

[Nate DAWG]

Gagai hasnt destroyed anyone since his last Origin game. He is an awesome player though but most of his yardage and breaks come through dummy half plays through the centre. What has Cotric done to deserve a SOO call up? He is a good young player but very untested in big games. Addo Carr has earned that spot, it would be different if there was an incumbent.

Origin is a different beast to NRL. Phil Gould himself said he wouldn't pick JAC and he knows more about Origin than you and I times 10.

 

[Raysie]

Everyone always forgets about James Roberts. Without thinking into it too much, you'd think a centre combo of Mitchell and Roberts would be scary with Ferguson and Addo-Carr on the wings.
