State of Origin 2025

[tig_prmz]

I don't think there is a thread on SOO 2025 so thought I'd get one started.

My team:

1. Edwards
2. To'o (if n/a then Kiraz)
3. Turbo (L)
4. Crichton (R)
5. Lomax
6. Moses (L)
7. Cleary
8. Haas
9. Robson
10. May
11. Crichton (L)
12. Martin (R)
13. Yeo

14. Watson
15. Barnett
16. Hudson Young
17. Leniu

18. Olakuatu

I thought Moses gave Luai a lesson in halves play in our game. I also thought Moses was the better half in the decider last year.

Other than Turbo/ Jurbo, I wouldn't make too many changes to the winning 13 from last year.

Thoughts?

As for QLD, does anyone really care?

Luai was by far the better half in the decider last year. Moses was great game 2. Other than the late try after luai created the game changing play, moses wasn't that great. Luai's dropouts and kicking game were crucial to the win and he should have been man of the match. If you don't believe me just watch these highlights from game 3 last year and compare them to the good moments Moses did in game 3. Not to mention getting in DCE's head all night and putting him off his game

No way you can have Hudson Young over Liam Martin. Hudson Young has played 3 origin games the last two years and NSW has lost every one of them. It's not a coincidence. He is just not able to step up to that level. When under pressure he is an error and penalty giving away machine

Why are there so many 'experts' not picking May?

Are the Tigers that hated... I don’t understand. Should be one of the first picks.

Great in clubland but lacks the impact they want from a prop at SOO is my guess. Can't have him and workhorse second rowers. Loz is a different type of coach so he may not be influenced by those in the know.
