According to Phil Gould Brad Fittler will make sweeping changes

[Interestingg]

I’d pick Tom turbo at fb over Tedesco everyday of the week. Tedesco is scared of the tough hit ups and gets monstered. Same reason I’d go Cotric over Ado-Carr. Kid is a beast and I can see JAC being thrown over the sideline multiple times in origin.

I’d personally go:

1. Turbo
2. Cotric
3. Roberts
4. Mitchell
5. Ferguson

Speed, strength, flair. I can’t see a cooked Inglis and Boyd being able to deal with this backline

Only thing there turbo form has been horrible, drops at Least 3 balls a game lately...
I'd prolly have him on the wing
Tedesco carved up at origin last year, was close to our best

 

[Bad Billy]

Lol. Moses ? Get fucked.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Qld backline is full of pensioners.

Take Roberts out and replace with Eitkin from dragons.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

1. Trebojevic
2. Cotric
3. LATRELL
4. J. Morris
5. Ferguson

6. Austin
7. Brooks
9. McInnes

The forward pack selects itself for NSW.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Fittler chose his whole squad based on one performance per player. "This young kid played 5 minutes and threw a great pass. He should be NSW captain!"

 

[Freakzilla]

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.

Would literally be the worst defensive team NSW has ever chosen.

Austin and Brooks as halves? Worst possible combo I've seen

 

[Straight18]

Lol. Moses ? Get fucked.

Yeah i know but i think fittler has a thing for him ever since the world cup, dont be surprised. I couldnt replace maloney for him if i was coach but im not.

Surely hes a queensland supporter or soccer player or something.

Yep worst backline and spine possible, may well as throw frawley in the side.

That's been said before & pensioners won 10 years straight.

 

[M4cca]

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

Geez id have zero confidence in a moses/cleary/mccinnes combo. Maloney surely has to be there. His ideal partner would probably be keary but him wanting to play for qld a few years ago isnt ideal. I find it hard to believe that jackson would be overlooked considering his past performances. His game 2 last year was ridiculous the way he hit and ran the ball early in the game.

 

[Freakzilla]

Maloney has missed 73 tackles this year in the NRL. That's 7.3 missed tackles per game at NRL level. He is not good enough for Origin.

GO QLD

 

[EB18]

1. Tedesco
2. Addo car
3. Mitchell
4. Roberts
5. Turbo
6. Maloney
7. Cleary (k)
8. Vanghn
9. Cook
10. Woods
11. Frizzel
12. Cordner (c)
13. Turbo

14. Graham
15. De belin
16. RCG
17. Klemmer

Speed kills, try stop that backline and with cook as well. With that pack qld will be fucked.

 

[The Innovator]

Merrin won’t be picked, and I’ll be stunned if Moses is. Ferguson I think will. Has anyone considered that Gus is playing mind games ?

That’s a really solid side. I wouldn’t have Graham though. He hasn’t played for a while and his form this year had been underwhelming.

I put Graham there as the utility to cover one of the edge backrowers. Its a big ask to have both egde backrowers plus your hooker playing 80 in origin plus can cover the halves. If not graham as the 14 then definitely Peachey. Peachey covers a shit load of positios. The above team has a shit load of speed. It still has a bit of experience in origin with Tedesco Maloney Frizzell Cordner Woods Turbo Klemmer and Graham.
