My blues 17

[happy_tiger]

A friend of mine north of the border reckons QLD are no hope this year due to the loss of Matt Scott..

In fact he has put 7 of his Beachhouses on NSW 3-0…

Look mate that could be credible …..

You stuffed it the minute you mentioned you had a

1 /mate

2/one that lived north of the border

 

[newtiger]

Hahaha you're just running scared Happy cause you know the maroon pensioners will be pummeled this year…...I wish :unamused:

Fwiw here is my Blues team:

1\. Tedesco
2\. T. Trbojevic
3\. Croker
4\. Bird
5\. Ferguson
6\. Maloney
7\. Cleary
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Fifita
11\. Cordner (c)
12\. Graham
13\. Merrin

14\. Moylan
15\. James
16\. Frizell
17\. Boyd
18\. J. Trbojevic

I seriously cannot find a decent enough NSW hooker to replace the slower, aging Farah, so he has just to be there. I was gonna choose Friend until I realised he was a bloody Queenslander!!! Robbie is still good in Origin, so here's hoping. I probably would've chosen Mansour on the wing in place of Ferguson too, but I believe he still won't be available come Game 1.

Just out of interest, who would do the goal-kicking in that team?

I'd go with either Croker or Maloney. Perhaps Maloney moreso, as Croker would be a debutant - no need for added nerves on the big stage.

Seeing that side will get held to zero in all three games , won't matter who the goal kicker is

I imagine the person taking the kick offs would end up with a RSI :laughing:

Stick to picking Queensland teams but remember that you can't have any player below Coffs Harbour that's where the SOO border is.

The border is somewhere near Bathurst /Albury isn't it ??

I predict a very low score. Brookes will be kicking off first up and by the time they find the balls high up in the spectators stands after each kick there will be very little game actually played.

 

[Tigertigertiger]

I expect nsw to win this year,Bozo gone as a selector so the future is looking good

I'd give Peats or McInnes a go at the 9

 

[steve-o]

Who ever they pick I think its time to pension off Farah and Gallen

Gallen's retired from rep footy so he definitely won't be selected. I'd still pick Farah since there are no better hooking options IMO. I'll go with:
1\. Tedesco
2\. Trbojevic (assuming Mansour is still injured)
3\. Hayne
4\. BJ
5\. Ferguson
6\. Moylan
7\. Maloney
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Boyd
11\. Cordner
12\. Jackson (I'm not a fan, but you just know that Laurie will pick him)
13\. Frizell
14\. Klemmer
15\. Graham
16\. Merrin / James / Tamou
17\. Bird / Peachey

No to Fifita - I can't stand him.

Thanks for your service but time to move on: Morris twins, Dugan, Jennings (I'm a big Jennings fan, but I think it's time for new blood).

New blood. big strong quick skillful dangerous keen.
Thought I'd spice it up.

- Steady halves to lead us both good kickers long and short.
- Steady props as well as punch
- Quick around the ruck 9 and 14
- Wing/Centre partnerships
- Versatile
- Dangerous out wide
- Speed
- Height
- Class
- Skill

I think Qld would be wary of this side.

Playing for the Tigers, I love Teddy but I think Trbojevic will suit origin better.

Why can't woods be playing for the tigers?

 

[Flippedy]

Anyone who thinks Cook, McInnes or Peats is ready for Origin is off their chops! Peats at a pinch maybe, but honestly what has he done this year? The only decent NSW rakes over the past few years have been Farah & Ennis, the best ones now are all Queenslanders!

 

[Geo]

Peter Wallace is smashing it 80mins a week at the Pamfers…has a kicking game as well...

Laurie is a dumbo tho...

Ah yes! I forgot about Wallace, I still think of him playing as an average halfback. I would give him a chance, along with Farah - not those other blokes though.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

1\. Tedesco
2\. Trbojovich
3\. Leilua
4\. Peachey/Dugan
5\. Tupou
6\. Maloney

10\. Klemmer
11\. Cordner
12\. Jackson/Frizell
13\. Graham

14\. Fifita
15\. Boyd
16\. Vaughn
17\. Moylan

Mansour won't be Origin ready for game 1\. Have him there in place of Tupou for game 2 or 3.

Finally a competitive side. That team would be hard to beat.

I hope they pick Maloney & Leilua

Like your side except for Klemmer, best not going well enough.
