So we've all had a crack at posting the NSW Origin team that we would like, but who do you think the selectors will actually pick? I'm guessing their team will be a little different from mine. Here's who I reckon they will choose:
1\. Tedesco
2\. Trbojevic
3\. Dugan
4\. Mitchell
5\. Ferguson
6\. Keary
7\. Maloney
8\. Vaughan
9\. Cook
10\. Klemmer
11\. Cordner ©
12\. Graham
13\. Frizell
14\. Bird
15\. J Trbojevic
16\. De Belin
17\. Campbell-Gillard
18\. Curtis Scott
19\. Josh Ado-Carr
20\. Tariq Sims
Pretty close, I think that McInnes will be there and J Turbo will start at lock. Don't think Bird will make it and Woods may still end up in the team.
Yeah I thought Woods would actually make it in there somewhere too, but it means one of the other in form props misses out and I just can't see who, unless they carry 4 forwards on the bench, which I doubt they will. I'll be spewing if either one of Vaughan, Campbell-Gillard, Trbojevic or De Belin miss out to accommodate Woods! Freddy can't be that stupid, surely?
I reckon Bird might just sneak in there on the bench, Joey's been pushing his barrow to play at 5/8 and we all know how chummy he and Fittler are. I think Fittler will go for Keary at pivot though (gotta have at least 4 Roosters on the team), which means a bench spot for Bird because of his versatility- not that he deserves it because he's playing like crap, but this is Origin :roll:
I reckon it's a toss up between Cook & McInnes for hooker, will be interesting to see who they end up choosing. And JAC may make it in over Ferguson, but that's no certainty either.
