Your side to take on the Bulldogs

Teddy will play origin 100% imo

1\. Tim Simona - Has good ball skills and imo a better option at fullback than Rankin
2\. David Nofaluma
3\. Mike Chee Kam
4\. Kevin Naquima
5\. Jordan Rankin/ Josh Addo-Carr: I think JAC's attack is needed with Teddy out
6\. Mitch Moses
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Tim Grant
9\. Robbie Farah - should get dropped from origin
10\. Ava Seumanafagnai
11\. Chris Lawrence
12\. Josh Alioia
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Suaouso Sue
15\. Kyle Lovett
16\. JJ Felise
17\. Curtis Sironen - needs to be included don't care what anyone says his defence is needed this week
 
1\. Rankin
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Simona
4\. Naiqama
5\. Addo-Carr
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks
8\. Sue
9\. Halatau
10\. Grant
11\. Aloiai
12\. Lawrence
13\. Taylor

14\. Chee-Kam
15\. Seumanufagai
16\. Lovett
17\. Felise
 
I'd roll with this side too and like the idea of moving Naiqama to the wing in defence. Halatau only played 18 minutes against the Panthers so he might not be available? I'm happy to play Liddle off the bench but wouldn't throw him to the Dogs…literally. Not sure what the solution is if Farah is unavailable and Halatau is injured? Definitely don't want to see Taylor there again. What about Sirro at hooker?

Chee kam to centre for naquima. Stiffens that edge up in defence which no doubt doggies will attack all night. Naquima to wing.

Felise for a bench spot has been good the limited games he has played. Time to blood liddle give him 10 to 15 minutes either side of both halfs.
 
I'd roll with

8 Seumunifungai
9 Halatua
10 Sue

14 Felise
15 Lovett
16 Edwards
17 Littlejohn/ Liddle/ Hunt (in that order)
 
Re; Siro @9\. He has a good pass but I don't know what his pass off the ground is like. Also don't know if he has the motor for it. He would be good in defence and the wrestle. If that did happen, I think you'd see some job share in like in around One.

Tedesco will be sorely missed by the Tigers but we all agree that he deserves the chance and that NSW will be stronger with him in the team. I think Alouai should go to the bench but, with the Origin dropouts, he has to stay. I don't want to see Taylor go to hooker again so I'm willing to take a chance with Liddle. He's definitely got the ability and toughness. Hopefully he has the composure. Felise deserves another chance.

i hope to god there is one specialist hooker in the squad. can't trust ET and dene to share the hooker role.

without teddy, we're no chance esp since the morris boys not playing origin.

Looking at it, still not a bad line-up, however I think the Dogs will carve us up out wide.
 
I would love to see either Liddle or Cherrington in the mix,but it will not happen,Taylor will not send a rookie out against the Dogs Pack.

It will be JJ for Woods
JAC for Teddy
MCK for Farah
 
Our last game vs Bulldogs was an absolute horror for Naiqama and Nofo,they were exposed by the Dogs who were minus B Morris and Hoppa. Our right side defense will either win or lose us this game.
 
Now that the Origin side is picked…

1\. Jordan Rankin
2\. David Nofoaluma

5\. Justin Hunt

1\. Simona (Offers so much more from the back than Rankin)
2\. Nora

ET never to play DH. Ever.
Dene and Liddle share dummy half
Tim Simona is a more dangerous than Rankin when linking
Rankin had his best game of the season on Saturday and would be a shame to move as he is getting confidence.
 
I would smokescreen the below with a pretty standard team selection to fool the Dogs gameplan:

1\. Moses
2\. Nofo
3\. Naiqama
4\. Simona
5\. Rankin
6\. Lawrence (C)
7\. Brooks
8\. Grant
9\. Halutau
10\. Sue
11\. Lovett
12\. Aloai
13\. ET (VC)

14\. Ava
15\. Felise
16\. MCK (playing in back row)
17\. Cherrington/Liddle

Much of their game plan is going to involve running T-Rex at Moses all day, creating gaps on our right side and letting the Morris twins go nuts. Surprising them with Lawrence there will completely shit up their game plan.
 
We cannot have a weak backline defence this weekend.

JAC; Kevvie and Nofo cannot co-exist otherwise our RHS defence will leak so many points.

I would put Hunt on the wing to replace Rankin

I would consider MCK to rest Kevvie.

I like the idea but instead I would take Rankin out put Kev on the wing and give MCK a go at centre and bring in Siro on the bench
 
1\. Heleta (no better time to blood him,if teddys gonna play origin next year then why not give him a go)

5\. Naiqama
6\. Moses
