Expect maybe two selections from our side. Graham for bench (deserves better) and Maloney as 18th/19th man.
Both deservr to walk into the side with alot of others but won't be disappointed if they don't.

Graham will play Origin, him and Cordner should be the second rowers. Graham to play on Maloney's side and Cordner to play on Pearce's (presuming he will be picked).

Holmes and Bird a good chance of being selected at some point in the series.

Fifita has the "black mark" against his name, but is easily the form prop in the world the last 18 months. I'm not sure Daley's job security is so assured that he can afford not to pick him.

Watching our forwards yesterday, and I'd have Prior, Fafita, Gal, Wade, and Lewis in front of any panthers forward. But I'm sure the likes of Ten Bums Merrin and Tamou will walk in.

Tamou cannot be anywhere near a rep team. Absolute cream puff.

Fifita is a must for origin. He creates momentum in the middle which is NSW best chance. They have tried to play around them in the past and it doesn't work. Must play direct and go through them. For that they need middle forwards who go forward and edge forwards hitting holes.

Jackson will get picked as Sterlo and Daley love him. Graham, Cordner and Frizz is the best backrow to beat QLD. Corner to running off Pearce, Graham off Maloney with Frizz the power runner in the middle.

Bird may get picked off the bench. On form he shouldn't be picked but has supporters and plays the Kidley role well.
 

Frenzy.

Has anyone been monitoring Shannon Boyd. He has turned to shyte. Fifita should replace him. They need experience in the test side at least. The other props from the 4 nations final were Scott who is wounded and Woods who is way out of form. Merrin can't seriously be considered as starting lock (probably will be) and Gillett looks tired and a bit formless

Add in Inglis and Thurston being out the team will go in light on experience. Dugan will struggle to be fit as well.

Boyd rode the Raiders hype train last year. Has no lateral movement and would be exposed by the pace of a full strength kiwi or QLD side.

Woods is so overrated it's not funny. Will be picked for Australia and NSW due to his profile and the politics.

If NSW lose first 2 games, wildcard will be Brailey for SOO 3, as i expect him to get role in City vs Country as well

Brailey is no chance at origin this year. They won't pick a kid with less than 15 games in a spine position.

There is a long term hooker spot up for grabs and will be a big chance next season if he goes well in the finals.
