2026 NSW Blues Team
- Thread starter mtd#2
- Start date
I think the two most likely are Api & AD. Api as bench hooker and AD as either 6 or 14. Both have been in great form and are both being hyped by the media.
Other long shots that I could see with potential are Twal & Sione. Twal is in career best form and Sione could play a Leniu role on the bench.
Luai will obviously be in the conversation, but I don't think he will make it this year.

I reckon our players should stay well away from Daley's blues team, he doesn't know how to get a team up for a series win with his selections.
Fancy been chosen on debut and get done, how depressing.
Api should be favourite but Dopey Daley will no doubt pick Robson again. Guys like Samuela Fainu, Terrel May and even Alex Twal should be in the mix. We’ve arguably the best performing pack in the comp at the moment. We’ll probably end up with nobody again.

I hope Daley doesn't select any WT players.
Given Daley's abilities as a coach, Qld will probably win. Players on the losing SOO team are often flat afterwards, and don't play with the same confidence and zip.

if Daley picks 18 and 19 man do they get released to play for club

I feel that To'o is a little washed up now. He still makes all the right defensive plays and is generally a safe player, but his days as a big metre-eating tackle buster are over. The only reason you pick him is to finish tries, catch high balls and not make silly defensive misreads. If you have watched Penrith play this year closely, he barely dents the defensive line and he actually kind of gets folded.
In saying that, Darius Boyd was this exact player for years in the QLD dynasty. I guess that's why they get origin and NSW don't 🤷♂️
He said much the same waffle last year too.
Then promoted others instead of Terrel.
Hard to believe anything.

I don’t think Luai will be in the conversation at all, he’s done nothing outstanding to deserve it. Moses, Cleary will be there, but I’d pick Strange in the halves if it was up to me. If Daley says they will be selected on form then Sam Fainu should be a shoe in, but we all know he won’t be there.
Better for us, I say. SOO is a crock of shit that has run its time. The premiership is way more important.
