No Simona, I would have Simona in MCK spot, MCK in Lovetts spot.
James Tedesco set for NSW State of Origin call-up, shifting Josh Dugan to wing

Daley, fair dinkum. Had he ever coached a team to finals footy before taking the blues coaching job?
If the blues are going to win this year they have to throw everything at qld. Forget trying to put up a defensive wall & limiting qld's scoring opps. Need to have attacking threats all over the park who are actually going to try something. Teddy, Mansour, Roberts, Cartwright, Austin, Graham, etc. need to get a shot. Re-build the team now before Qld do, as they have a lot of quality waiting in the wings.

I think we have some good depth if Woods, Farah & Teddy are picked for Origin. Wouldn't mind seeing Simona/Heleta at FB, with MCK & Addo-Carr on the left. Sue starting at prop & Ballin hooker as you have gone with & then a back row of rowdy, Halatau & Aloaia (lock). Then a bench of Ava, Siro, Edwards & Cherry.

You wonder why he said that stuff. I would be picking Tedesco for sure and probably Austin as well. You need players that are going to have an impact.

Daley has scraped through on one series with this 'theories'… that's it... and Farah carried the halves that series.
While I agree there shouldn't be wholesale changes, it will say a lot about the man if he picks Pierce or Hodgkinson again this year.

The NSW halves situation really is a dogs breakfast, and whilst I don't have any time for the bloke, I do sympathise with Daley.
I would definitely be looking at Sezer, but I think Austin would get really shown up at SOO level. You need a bit more than good support play and a good dummy to play in the halves at that level. He's also no better defensively than either of our chaps.

Are any NSW halves in form at the moment ??
You look at every form half and they are either from NZ or Qld

Daley is a product of the NSWRL boys club …IMO NSW have the player strength now to kick QLDS butt.The selection of Gallen in itself is a joke ,Daley is the Jason Taylor of the NSW blues others have the power and the selection criteria , NEW blood has to be added to the side but the problem is in doing this you have to have a coach that can coach!
I have a feeling that there will be more newer young faces in the MSW Blues this year

our forward pack is so much stronger than queenslands but they'll still smash us.

Picking Tedesco on the wing would be crazy
Fullback or nothing

Exactly Teddy is the form fullback in the comp, Daley puts him on the wing to not upset his boys club ..remember Daley's boys are Origin level (how many series have they won).Teddy wants no part of the wing as this could really be departmental to his ambitions for a fullback spot..be careful Teddy these selectors will throw you to the wolves make no mistake.

lol dugan was the best player for nsw last year. /end.
fullback and centres need to remain the same. these guys are the only ones with some sort of experience, form and proven they can handle the maroons.

Agree NSW has to go a new team to win.
Actually thinking if teddy has a couple of MOM performances next 2 weeks he may get a green and gold jumper.
Don't believe Boyd is in teddys clas tbh.

Imagine roles reversed and teddy at Brisbane and Byd with us.
Been watching footy a while but our boy is really something.
Hayne got NSW over the line 2 yrs ago.
You need a bit of magic.
