NSW Team 2017

[TheFrog]

Moylan is a conundrum. He played okay, def better than Pearce and Reynolds, but he doesn't play 5/8 at club level. Also he was only reselected at the last minute to replace Reynolds, mainly because there was a feeling he was hard done by in being unseated at fullback.

Is he a good long term option? Or do we look to blood yet another new half?

If the Panthers don't play him there next season, and if Tedesco is so damn good he can't be considered in his stead in the 1, then I guess he has to miss out.

 

[Jason Maher]

Hook is making a big mistake in not shifting Moylan. And he is definitely the best option for NSW. I'm not too bothered by him not wearing #6 on his back at Penrith, because he plays like he is no. 6 anyway. Played halves as a junior I believe too. It is his natural position.

Moylan will be a great player once he straightens up.
He was so sideways in game 3.

If Moses keeps up his great form he will push in years to come

Moses/Cleary would compliment each other well

Yep, in 2 years time that's pretty much the perfect combo of they keep improving

lol. moses. you are kidding?

You are either geniused or blind. Moses has been absolutely killing it last 10 weeks

If current form continues you would have to say all of Cartwright, Moylan and Wallace ( plus Cleary maybe the following year) are all a good shot at being selected. Daley loves his club combos. I wonder if this will play into his plans at all. Long term even if Moylan stays at the back for Penrith, having Cleary there might make the decision easier to play him at 5/8 in Origin anyway as they are effectively halves partners for Penrith regardless of numbers.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'd be looking at both raiders centers for next year.

 

[nick87]

Moses can't play state football until he learns to tackle
That Josh Papalii guy who ate today? Yeah he plays for qld, and he'll have JT/Cronk giving him that ball at that level

Hayne will play centre and they won't drop Bird

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Hayne will play centre and they won't drop Bird

Croker I can see being left out, but they are geniused if they don't select BJ.

 

[umina panther]

Maybe Hayne could play wing? His ego wouldn't like it

 

[SBD82]

Hayne will play centre and they won't drop Bird

Bird's form hasn't been great lately. If he continues in this vein is think they may decide to pass him over or keep him as the interchange.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

BJ is a weapon but the guys defence is a joke, he let Tom Trbojevic stroll over literally thrice

Not sure he would be as effective without Rapana either. Both guys are so big and powerful they create space for each other. They have an amazing combination going and if you try to mark up on one the other will carve you a new one. They have learned to exploit that.

Im happy with a largely similar backline. If they are fit and in form, you make space for Brett Morris and Jarryd Hayne. otherwise I think the new guys did well enough.

Tedesco, Mansour and Bird would round the backline out nicely. Although Bird might remain on the bench in which case BJ Leilua has an opening. Could be the ideal solution without dropping one of the new guys who did a good job.

 

[Pete Cash]

We have the best backline in the comp and nobody from it is good enough to play rep footy. Interesting.

 

[myrrh ken]

Your centres are the only ones worth arguing about. And croker is probably viewed as "too small for origin"
