Loving your work H8....till I got to Townsend....then I thought....well who else have NSW got as halfback options.
No wonder we get dominated by QLD...that halves combination laps us...as we know at Manly...a great halves combination is integral to success..I don't go for the sharks half, but on form...can't darn well knock it!!

 

[wombatgc]

He won't be first or second picked, so I hope there's a Bradbury moment coming into any of the origins for Aiden Sezer. He is my roughy. He is tough as buggery, rated by BJ (when he was at the Titans) as the toughest player there pound for pound. Greg Bird was filthy when the Titans lost him.
You have to have Maloney in there, so you do miss out on the combo.And yes Townsend's been going well, but I still see a bit of Barry Blow wave in him. I suspect once the origin oxy heat is put to him he'll melt.
Reynolds will get monstered,molestered, and murdered in any order.
Pearce...he needs club time alone. That boys on fragile ground. I'd be surprised if his name is mentioned.

Pearce should never wear the sky blue again, not under any circumstances, !!!

Aww god.. Could u imagine what the score would be

Options(for copypaste ease):

1.Coote/Tedesco/Dugan/Moylan
2.Dugan
3.Roberts/Jennings
4.Leilua/Morris/Hoppa/Walker
5.Trbojevic/Mansour/Morris
6.Maloney
7.AReynolds
8.Woods
9.Ennis/AngryLeb
10.Tamou

12.Jackson
13.Gallen

14.Fifita
15.Cartwright
16.Klemmer
17.Cordner/Bird/Lewis/Merrin/Graham/James/Frizell/Someone

How Reynolds avoids being picked is beyond me.

 

[Fluffy]

1.Coote
2.Radradradradradradradra (good enough for Aus good enough for SOO)
3.Jennings
4.Leilua
5.Moylen/Mansour
6.Maloney
7.AReynolds
8.Woods
9.Ennis
10.Tamou
11.Scott/Bird
12.Cordiner/Frizel
13.Gallen

14.Fifita/JTurbo
15.Cartwright
16.Klemmer
17.Peachey

Don't rate Jackson at SOO level but he is fighting with Cordiner and Frizel. Scott and Bird always play better at SOO (like Myles and Boyd) and Scott is having a good year.

 

[Killer03]

Radradra isn't eligible.

 

[Fluffy]

Radradra isn't eligible.

Why not?

He is Australian (under international standards) and played his first graded league match in NSW

 

[Killer03]

Why not?

He is Australian (under international standards) and played his first graded league match in NSW

Isn't that the whole debate that's been raging? Why can he play for Australia, but not for NSW?

Notice how his name isn't mentioned at all for NSW? There have been articles about it in the paper.

 

[pjayz]

1. Coote
2. Mansour
3. Jennings
4. Dugan
5. Roberts
6. Austin
7. A. Reynolds
8. Woods
9. Ennis
10. Tamou
11. Cordner
12. G. Bird
13. Gallen

-----------------------
14. Cartwright
15. Fifita
16. Klemmer
17. Frizell

Won't get picked but I don't like two small halves with suspect defence, I think you need someone like Austin who has a good running game and solid D. Coote gives another strong kicking option and ball playing in the line. The bench has a mix of second phase play and hard running.

Coote is a must he has a lovely kicking game and is in awesome form.

You can't be serious Keith - you left Daniel Mortimer out.

 

[Woodsie]

Lovely?

 

[Killer03]

Lovely?

It's a real technical term I use, along with other gems such as 'ball tearer'

 

[Clint]

I think the key is

So without naming the entire team I'd have Tedesco, Moylan, Lachlan Coote and James Roberts there somewhere. Josh Morris has always been very good, and has handled Inglis well, so he keeps his spot.

How do you fit Teddy, Moylan and Coote in the same team Killer?

 

[Killer03]

How do you fit Teddy, Moylan and Coote in the same team Killer?

Yeh looks its probably too much, perhaps it's just two of them.

But I'd have Tedesco at FB, and Coote on the wing. Perhap that means Moylan misses out or goes to the wing, or goes to 5/8. I guess my thinking is that there's not a great number of quality wingers around in NSW. Mansour definitely an option as one wing.

I'd be happy to take the risk of Moylan at 5/8 or even Coote I really just think we need to do something different. The old tactics don't seem to be working.

[maxta]

One thing for sure - Jake is the ONLY player who should be considered from Manly....give Tom another 1-2 years in the grind of NRL & he will be far more prepared imo.

 

[Brookie Brawler]

What we have to remember about Hoppa Mk.2 is that he is actually an incumbent NSW Origin centre. Don't discount Daley's so-called loyalty factor.

If you are an incumbent that means you played in Game III 2015 so that should count against Hoppa and everyone else who disgraced the blue jersey that night.
