ORIGIN 2025

Without Moses and Lomax the Eels should be easier to beat, so that's lucky

Surprised there isn't a thread on this?

Or maybe there is and I've missed it (id so please merge).

But who is in your Origin team. NSW or QLD depending who you support or both if you feel so inclined.

Mine

1.Edwards
2.Lomax
3.Trell
4.Crichton
5.To'o
6.Moses
7.Cleary
8.Hass
9.Robson
10.Barnett
11.Martin
12.Crichton
13.Yeo

14.Watson
15.Young
16.May
17.Leinu

Though sounds like May won't be there which I think is madness so if not....Kolomatangi....or King or Stefano....dunno

Boom nailed it.

Should be May over King but he obvs rubs some people up the wrong way

So Haumole is No. 20.
Will he have to miss the Eels game?

No he won’t miss the eels game unless he moves into the top 18

The fact that Daley has stuck with a carbon copy of last year (besides bringing Cleary and Trell back in) makes me believe Jake would have been the 17 in front of King if not injured…

Disappointing for Jakey as he probs does not get back in now if the team wins game 1…

Maybe NSW selectors don't want their hearts in their mouths every time Tom takes a hit up. You can't afford to carry an injury liability at that level. Couple that with his less than stellar form and I reckon it's an easy decision.

Yeah, leave that to us 😂

To be honest I think he needs the wake up call.

I'm pleased Turbo hasn't been selected, primarily because he makes Manly a better team even when he's on one leg.
However, from a NSW SOO perspective, I'm a little worried. You see, Queensland will pick two tall wingers, Coates and Cobbo, who are wizards at catching bombs. We have T'oooo on one wing. He's a destructive tackle buster but he is short; really short. So I fear the Queensland tactic will be to kick high to their wingers where it becomes a lottery.

I thought Tedesco has been playing well enough to win his spot back from an underwhelming Edwards.
To’o only one game back. But he is a freak, so probably handles it.
Luai is playing average in a less than average side. But pairing him back up with Cleary would’ve been my choice. Especially if Chrichton does play.
It wouldn’t be a NSW side if we didn’t pick a player out of position. Moses is a 7. But there is that Manly incentive to keep him out of this week’s Parra side.

ps. How many times does Lomax have to get picked on the wing for NSW and Australia before he lets go of his "I’m a bloody centre" dream?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Daley has clearly gone with the mindset of picking mostly players who have got the job done before, and then letting some form in to fill some gaps.

I don't like Hudson Young on the bench, he was useless last time he got picked, everyone else I think is pretty close to what I would have gone with.
