NSW SOO 2020

[mike]

Cant stand Fittler and Johns at the moment - champion players - but stink of arrogance. Far more interested in what QLD do with SOO because on paper they should get slaughtered - and we know how that has worked previously. Just would love to see the smirk wiped off Fittler's face.

If QLD lose again, they’ll want to change the format and come out with a whole bunch of stuff like the format is stale and needs updating etc.

Dont think K. Staggs was mentioned in Blind Freddy's SOO short list .. Haas is the only BRonco's player listed.

Staggs is injured I think

The problem with picking on form is you end up with blokes like Cody Walker

Quoted for truth!

I always assumed Kotoni Staggs was a Queenslander, now i hear he’s from NSW... That makes me very excited - the dude is a gun.

Apparently he is from Wellington, NSW .. yeah I'm pretty sure that makes him a NewSouthWelshman .. !! .. but then again you never know, according to QLD'ers, Wellington could be in QLD .. lol ;-)

Didnt Staggs do an ACL?
Gone for a long period I thought

Correct. Would’ve been in the NSW squad if fit. Now they’ve got Lomax who is a solid player but don’t want to see him starting for NSW to be honest.

Agree on Johnston, forgot about him.
Yeo should be the first bloke picked on form, he has been monumental. Cordner is one hit away from his brain turning to dust, he should retire IMO.
Chrichton not ready for Origin but Lomax, Api and Liam Martin are?

If Chrichton is not ready - Lomax certainly isn't. I would pick Wighton before either of them.

Wighton will be at centre for sure. Crichton, Campbell Graham and Lomax will battle for the other spot.

On paper the NSW team should be a fair bit better than the QLD team but origin doesn’t really work like that lol. Freddy seems to be keen on picking almost all new guys, no one from the era of QLD dominance most notably leaving out Klemmer who’s a great player

 

[JC99]

Would love to see Paps on the bench for NSW. Can slot into the backline if need be or be used in the middle much like Bellamy used him early in his career.

 

[Speed2burn]

Alex Johnston won’t be picked. He just finishes off easy tries set up by his inside men 90% of the time...reminds me of Nathan Merritt

Atleast Nofa works for a few of his tries.

Anyways I’d have Cotric & JAC there

 

[Swordy]

I think JAC and Cotric it is. Crichton is a left centre and JAC isnt a noted defender that could cover for him. His weakness is the defence and even his club has mentioned several times that is his weakness. Cordner cant cover both centre and winger on the left. We need a solid big man or defender on the left, that's Wighton.

Lomax can go on the right with Cotric and Cam Murray or whoever inside.

Crichton with Staggs is the best attacking centre in the game. Enough to make the squad, but not run on I shouldnt think

 

[Fade.To.Black]

IMO Cotric has been cod-ordinary this year. On form he wouldn't be there but as we know, if you're a favourite of the coach you'll get picked (not saying Cotric is).

 

[JC99]

9 more players joining the NSW squad, Gutherson, RGC, Junior Paulo, Nathan Brown, James Tedesco, Luke Keary, Daniel Tupou, Angus Crichton and Boyd Cordner.

Funny that Matterson was 18th man for NSW when he played with us but this year he can’t even make a 27 man squad.

Would scratch RCG, Crichton and Cordner (he'll be there though unfortunately because he's captain). Those others should be in the 17.
