haas ruled out of origin 3
McKlean the likely inclusion, don't get it, he's ordinary at best. I don't get why Safiti isn't being picked, he played for the Knights this week, or if they are worried about fitness Klemmer won't let you down.

That forward pack is complete rubbish...not sure who is the worst plod McLean or Liam Martin getting yet another gig somehow. How Wighton isn't ahead of Talakai is beyond me, Jack can play back row too you know Freddy!

Why would we have a hooker and a half on the bench? That's why Talakai is ahead of Wighton.

I wouldn’t want to be heading into an origin decider with a hooker and a half on the bench.

Whighton can easily play backrow. Not as if Talakai did much anyway. Seems sort of a waste of a spot anyway as Murray, Yeo, and for that matter Plod Martin are all 80 minute players.

You named an Origin side for game 3 and dropped Tupou. He was outstanding. Both wingers ran for almost 450 metres. Unfortunately Addo Carr will have to bind his time for now
All the wingers on the park were pretty well below standard last night tbh. Teddy and Ponga carried their wingers from the back field tbh.

I just don’t think you can afford to have a specialist hooker on the bench. If Teddy went down yesterday we had no cover for fullback. Fittler needs to rethink his bench
I would drop To'o and have Teddy wing and Papi fullback.

You've gotta be kidding. Teddy was NSW best player all series.
No I am not kidding, he offers nothing to NSW in opposition red zone, as he rarely ever passes or kicks. He basically does all his work and effort from the backfield.

You can easily put someone else like Papi at fullback and have him swap positions with Teddy throughout the game.

Also hooker is crucial position and we need to blood either B.Brailey or Robson on the bench imo, with this in mind Papi can't be picked unless he's a starter, so this is how I would fit them both him and Teddy in.
