Papenhuyzen has been playing better than Teddy this season. He was also playing better last year before Fuimaiono K.O'd him.
The change won't be made though

Hynes must be close to getting picked. Wonder if Qld will start Hunt at hooker, and Grant on the bench, or vice versa.

Hynes isn't good enough defensively and Safiti has been terrible this season. He's been coming off the bench because he's been so bad. Also, Murray has to start. You dropped To'o???

Those teams are pretty close. Both teams look strong.. I think Arrow makes it ahead of Molo. Maybe they try and pick Reece Walsh on the wing instead of Hammer but that's a gamble..

To'o, Turbo and Latrell will all be picked but all will underdone and not have played footy for almost two months and have to jump straight into Origin. It'll be interesting to see how they play and if they re-injure themselves... I think Pap will make the bench for NSW..

I thought To'o was out till seasons end. I'm just thinking that Hynes is the more in-form utility than Wighton. You're right about Saifiti but I'm still starting Yeo, that Penrith connection is almost unstoppable.

To'o was out for 6-8 weeks initially so he should be back just before Origin 1

1) Tabasco. 1) Pogba
2) JAC. 2) Coates
3) Turbo. 3) Dane Poofta
4) Mitchell. 4) Val Holmes
5) To'o 5) Hammer
6) Luai. 6) Cunster
7) Cleary. 7) Giraffe Neck
8) Haas. 8) Welch
9) Cook. 9) Mahoney
10) Paulo. 10) Papali
11) Murray. 11) Kafusi
12) Frizell. 12) FatFita
13) Yeo. 13) Capewell

14) Radley. 14) Grant
15) Jurbo. 15) Collins
16) Saifiti. 16) Tino
17) L. Martin. 17) Fotueka

Capewell at lock could work as similar build and skill set to Yeo otherwise what other options do they have besides another prop?

Slater will definitely be going for a youth approach hence why I think Hunt will be overlooked and Giraffe has one more year until Walker improves his overall game.

For NSW, a lot depends on availability of a few players ie Mitchell. I'd be picking Critta from Penrith to fill that spot if LM is unavailable and Freddy probably will due to the connection with rest of team.

Papenhyzen definitely deserves he’s chance. Ur right though it won’t happen. So unfortunate when ur killing it but can’t get a run.

To'o is back in a week or 2. Yeo starts 100%.

Unfortunately I think the only way Papsmear gets into the team is when Tabasco calls it quits.

He's unable to cover any other position in the back line (plus surplus in wing/centre spot) and not big enough to play middle.

Cotter has to be close to forcing his way onto the bench for Queensland.
