I thought he was back soonish? But you're right, he has missed a bit of football. Hopefully back for some of the series....is an asset

 

[tiger_scott]

Ponga is back this week.

 

[tigerbalm]

I just hope for chaos, lots of long suspensions for all involved.

Bit harsh not picking To'o he has easily been the best winger in the comp

 

[Speed2burn]

No clue but you watch Freddy pick his boy Gutho somewhere

I see no issue with picking Gutho. Supremely fit, very safe, can finish off set moves with extreme ease. He more than deserves to be in the team IMO.

Tupou has been in the best 3 wingers every year for the last 5 years or so. Strong carries, a thread under the high ball, fast and extremely experienced at this level. Doesn't deserve to be dropped.

My prediction for game 1 of Origin is that it won't be played in Melbourne.

Gutho is a good club man, nothing more I reckon. At a pinch I think he would provide good utility value as he could cover 1-7 in a pinch

Plenty of young talent hitting the scene who could also fill that role - Burton and Schuster for example

Their time will come too, but not yet. Neither have played in a Finals game or any big game at all. I also think you need to create a culture at Origin level as well. It's where the elite vs the elite. You should have had more than 2 good seasons. They can be a part of the extended squad but wouldn't have them in Origin unless it's a dead rubber and guys like Gutho/Wighton/Tupou fail again.
