The Roberts v Aitken defensive argument is overdone, about 5% difference (80% to 85% tackle efficiency). Yeah he will probably get bounced by Inglis but Roberts has a decent history of torching Inglis on kicks behind or going around him

Jackson hasn’t been Origin standard this year. Penalty magnet with far better options in form. Sue me.
Jackson is massively overrated on here, bloke hasn't been in any type of form for months yet people act like he's a star lol. Last night he missed 7 tackles, gave away 2 penalties and ran under 100m with no real attacking stats...basically been like this all season yet people are questioning why he isn't in the picture.

I think the halves are still debatable. Maloney (defence), Cleary (gametime) are still in doubt. I'd pick Keary personally.

I hate the roosters but you would get a few club combo's by picking Tedesco, Mitchell, Cordner, Keary for the left edge.

You would also possibly have a right side combo of Frizell and Aitken.

Club combos are important this year more than ever with the lack of SOO experience the NSW team are likely to have.

No way I have Mitchell in the team!! Sure he scores some good tries but the bloke is an absolute turnstile in defence and you just can’t have that in origin. He is going to get absolutely flamed!!

Why no Montoya, Frawley, Elliott or Priest? Tolman's injury rules him out!

Yeah, I believe they’ve been playing good enough to warrant a spot. It’s certainly great that they’re not being considered for Origin, but I would love for them to get chosen, in no way related to not having them on our team for 3 games...

I would be a big disappointment if Tom Trbojevic is picked to play in the centres. Surely NSW has learned from previous experiments such as Jarryd Hayne and Dugan playing Centre.

Espesially when you have exciting centres to already pick from in Aitken, Roberts, Latrell and to an extent Croker.
