Pearce, Cleary or Reynolds at halfback. Wouldn't argue with any of the 3.

Cordner told either he improves or he's out.

Getting in very early bro! :tearsofjoy:
Tough call to leave Paul Vaughn out, he was one of our best last night.
I'd probably say a halves combo of Keary & Maybe Cleary if we are looking to the future.
Pearce did ok, but realistically doesn't have too many more seasons left.

01. James Tedesco
02. Tom Trbojevic
03. Jack Wighton
04. Latrell Mitchell
05. Josh Addo-Carr
06. Luke Keary
07. Nathan Cleary
08. David Klemmer
09. Damien Cook
10. Regan Campbell-Gillard
11. Boyd Cordner (c)
12. Jake Trbojevic
13. Dale Finucane

14. Tyson Frizell
15. Wade Graham
16. Cameron Murray
17. Payne Haas/Jacob Saifiti/Tariq Sims

- I think Frizell coming off the bench will be HUGE impact especially towards the back-end of the first half
- Fergo was great last night but I think he's usually ordinary in Origin games, and it's time to look for the future. Put Tommy Turbo in the position he's most lethal at - the flanks
- Young, and potentially long-term halves - the Keary/Cleary combo
- Obviously injuries and suspensions will come into it which we can't foresee, however having a solid nucleus/dynasty is something NSW MUST do. Chopping and changing players all the time will only result in a loss.

QLD are in for a long drought lol. I know people will say "it was close" blah blah. Well so we're some of the series QLD win against the Blues, but they WON because of their core players.

NSW with their core players and fast skillful forwards are in for more success. They're just better.

Origin has pretty much moved on from big body props, I reckon the Blues would of looked better if we started with:
8. Klemmer
10. Trbojevic
13. Finucane
-Replace Saifiti with Sims to play as a small ball prop.
-Wait and see how the halves are playing next year but Maloney should play every Origin until retirement, he was a bit off last night but his leadership and winning pedigree is too important.
-Make a decision about Latrell next year.
-Leave everything else as is.

Drop Fergo after what he did for us last night? Jake as a 2nd rower where he has NEVER played before?

Last night was by far Fergo's best Origin game, however, how many games has he played in before that where he was ordinary? Answer? All of them.

As for Jake... he's played prop and lock... I don't think he'll have too much adjusting to the position that's between them!

His poor attempts to milk penalties last night were painful to watch even as a NSW fan.
Yep he cost them the game and the series imo.
Will never be picked again if they have any brains.

No he hasn't been ordinary in all his other games. That is a flat out lie.

Second row is completely different to prop and lock. Your comment shows your lack of rugby league knowledge.

Throw Paulo in to.

There's no way blues don't make it three straight. Just hope this year we finally get to see the winning game in NSW! How long until QLD start crying for the comp to be scrapped again.
