what else does Brooks have to do to earn a spot

I dont think he would be far off.

Id say Cleary, Keary, Moses and possibly Green are the ones in front of him.

Maloney also but i think he has had a line drawn through him.

In what world is Moses in front of Brooks? Maybe on planet Freddy.

Dont shoot the messenger.

Jeez you get great news one day and Freddie kicks the state in the nuts the next.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

I just hope heaps of Roosters players are picked - we play them during origin. Tedesco, Ferguson, Mitchell, Keary, coroner, Napa, Friend - could all possibly be out

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If Freddie picks Moses, the only explanation is he’s a double agent, working for the QRL.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

I don't know about the talk around Mitchell and Roberts. Both are rapid and have a lot of talent, but they aren't 80 minute players. They both fade in and out of games and don't go searching for the ball. I don't think either of them has enough ticker for origin. I'd have one for x-factor but not both.

You could say the same about GI Fraze

But in those minutes he is on , he can change a game

GI is a completely different class of footballer. Neither Roberts or Mitchell have the presence in defence that GI does either.

The thing that worries me about the two of them is that they are both as lazy as hell in defence, and another one like them is Aitkin, give them a ball and theyre lightning, but if they dont put in the same effort in defence, we could have a difficult night
.
I think that they are all good chances, to be there, but the thought of them only switching on when they feel like it, scares me a bit.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Big couple of weeks for Moylan.

Still see him as a chance to partner Maloney in the halves but he needs some consistency and form.

Also think Twal can come from the clouds if he really puts in

Moylan is arguably the worst half in the comp , if Fittler picks him he should be sacked as NSW coach

Now thats an actual opinion, i like it lol. At least youve said something and put it on the line.

Hard to argue on current form.

Not hard at all, probably one decent game all year, I cant remember it though.
You'll notice that I said Decent….....Not good
And thats coming from someone who used to think that he was a good footballer. hes lucky that hes in First Grade.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

I think its hilarious Freddy is thinking about going with Moses instead of Maloney because he is worried about Maloneys defence.

Its like going from a dry paper bag to a wet paper bag

:roll

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Freddys got half of the NrL thinking that theycould make it at the moment.
I think he already knows the exact makeup of the team (barring injuries).
And I dont think theres a chance in Hell that Malony wont be there.

 

[WestsBenTigers]

From all reports its a total clean slate. Anyone who has been there and lost is out.

Does that mean Lawrence will get picked over Cordner?

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Well if you pick the team based on current form - yes

 

[Tacky]

From 9 news tonight - Freddy seemed to be talking the Princess up.

Maybe Freddy wants to lose.

I'm done.

Stupidest crap I've heard all year.

 

[happy_tiger]

Hooper reckons the mail is keary 6 moses 7

Yuck

No wonder Cam quit

No competition

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

It will be interesting if Brooks has a blinder tomorrow.

 

[hobbo]

Origin's gabage anyway …
Rather watch a good club game any day of the week .

 

[Needaname]

Probably has a lot to do with the positions of the field the players play in, I.e left side right side.
You could almost pencil Keary in if Lateral and Cordner are alongside him so that rules Brooks out.
If Cleary is not fit at half, Freddy needs another 7 that plays on the right that has that instinct, Cleary and Moses have similar running games.
The worst thing about Keary and Moses is they both are not strong distance kickers.

 

[Tigerdave]

I understand Freddy wanting new blood and not really wanting players who have failed in the past, but he's kidding if he doesn't want to pick Maloney due to defensive issues…...for Moses.......just laughable

 

[TCL]

Freddy has been sucking on the peace pipe if he thinks that Moses is a option. That will do me.
