Which Tigers are up for a rep spot?

I see both Morris boys being selected because Daley is a muppet.

I think one on the wing is up for it but I just do not believe either are strong enough defensively to play Origin in the centres
 
If Lawrence is overlooked for a centre position, I'll give up. The bloke is built for Origin. Draws a line in the sand every week in defence. I actually think he's underrated. Commentators hardly ever wrap him, but the only centre I'd swap him for is Inglis. I'd swap every player in the game - bar Marshall and Farah for sentimental reasons - for Inglis.
 
He is as good if not better defensively that Cooper and soils on him from a great height in attack and that was the guy who was a "key for NSW' a few years ago
 
Lawrence…really...

I think I will call him van gogh...does he still have an ear... 😢

Ayshford, Gibbs, Fulton. Galloway, Farah, Lawrence...city

Moltzen, Heighno. Ryan ..Country....

Galloway, Farah, Lawrence ...Origin...

Probably wont happen but whist they are putting their hand up form wise ...I wont be complaining if they miss out....
 
I think that the NSW backline will be something like this:
1.Hayne
2.Morris
3.Jennings
4.Morris
5.Minichello
6.Bird
7.Pearce

Farah will have to pick up his form IMO. Especially since Hayne will be fullback so they will need to find a spot for Kidley.
 
Lawrence - City/Country yes , origin small chance
Tuquiri - origin yes
benji - nz
moltzen - city/country chance
gibbs - city/country chance
farah - city/country yes, origin chance
galloway, city country yes , origin chance
ellis - england
tuiki - nz

With the amount of backrowers going around Heighno wont get a gig in city country barring a fair few injuries

I reckon Jennings and Morris will be the centres. Lawrence has an outside chance of jagging a wing spot. I reckon he is certainly origin calibre though.

Lawrence is a better centre than Morris. Both Morris brothers will be on the wing.

Tuqiri is probably in with half a shot, even in that talented Queensland back line.

With Hodges out and no Hunt this year Tuqiri as long as he is fit will be on one wing for QLD. He is already penciled in for the first team. I lived in QLD for a number of years and whilst I am a blue through and through the QLD selectors are far better at picking at team than their NSW counterparts.
 
I wouldn't hold your breath guys. The NSW selectors are so far out of touch, I'd be tipping:

1\. Kurt Gidley
2\. Joel Monaghan
3\. Matt Cooper
4\. Timana Tahu
5\. David Williams
6\. Jamie Lyon
7\. Brett Finch

8\. Jason Ryles
9\. Peter Wallace
10\. Brett White
11\. Trent Waterhouse
12\. Andrew Ryan
13\. Luke Lewis

:laughing: that's Laurie Daley's fantasy team after he punted Ennis…..NSW selectors = not to bright*

Galloway is a must but unfortunately he isnt a certainty.

Yeah your right. I mean, Ben Cross, Michael Weyman, Dan Hunt and Luke Bailey have all been playing well enough for selection. Then you got a bolter like Aiden Tolman and Tom Learoyd-Lahrs will be in contention if he gets himself fit before the rep season. KG just needs to keep his head down and continue doing what he does every week and the selectors hopefully wont be able to ignore him.
 
Ayshford has been playing some solid footy for a while now but to say that he is better then Lawrence imo is way off the mark. Watch the little things that Lawrence does well, the lines he runs, how well he sets up his outside winger, his defense. The kid is all class where Ayshford still has a few defensive lapses and needs to work on feeding his winger a bit more quality ball as his biggest downfall is he never passes.
 
this may seem a bit selfish, would rather have them just play for wests-tigers.
if they are away on rep duties it could harm wests-tigers chance of winning that game, and gaining two points.
getting a step closer to ensuring a top 8 berth and finals footy.
but if each player plays to his potential, you never know who will be selected.
could be some ' bolters'.

there are plenty of great NSW centres in front of both of them eg Jennings, Morris, Monaghan (Once returns from injury), Tahu, Cooper, plus probably a few others im forgetting but definetly a chance

tahu? you've got to be kidding me
