I think Andrew Johns needs to lay off the whacky tobbacy - https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/nrl-ne...oposal-for-cleary-s-nsw-halves-partner_230421
So Tedesco goes down concussed after 10 minutes. Fine, Pap can play fullback, but which of your bench goes to the wing? You haven't even got Yeo to cover centre this time.I think to get them all in you need to create space with a pack that's good with post-contact metres to create quick play the balls, has some skill, but can defend when needed. My side at this stage would be:
8. Klemmer
9. Cook
10. Haas
11. Frizzell
12. Crichton
13. Trbojevic
7. Cleary
6. Wighton/Luai
5. Trbojevic
4. Lomax
3. Mitchell
2. Papenhuyzen
1. Tedesco

You are, of course, welcome to name your side.So Tedesco goes down concussed after 10 minutes. Fine, Pap can play fullback, but which of your bench goes to the wing? You haven't even got Yeo to cover centre this time.
Klemmer's Origin days are long over. Likewise Friz if Fittler has any sense and Jake hasn't set the world on fire for two years now. That's a geriatric pack of forwards, to be honest.
Well its a bit difficult supporting an unbeaten side in that I'll be accused of picking blokes from my team, but I'd have 4 of our blokes. Cleary, Luai, To'o and Yeo.You are, of course, welcome to name your side.
No chance To’o gets picked especially not ahead of Fergo and Gutherson1. Tedesco

3. Trbojevic
4. Wighton

If you play Wighton at 6 you need someone different on the bench to cover the halves...might be Gutho. With this backline you can afford Papenhauzen on the bench. Or you just start him anyway but it won't be at fullback.
If you don't want a shorter winger in To'o you could move Tommy T and have Latrell at centre. His impending suspension is an untimely one. You also have Tupou and Cotric.

Incorrect. To'o will be considered.
Ferguson has played his last Origin match. And Clint is much more suited to the 14 or even 18th man position.
I'm not sure about ted. He played centre before but I dont think very convincingly. Pap is an athlete, you could just chuck him anywhere ala Craig wingHas ferguson announced that?
If he hasn’t, I’d have him in the the mix with To’o in the dozen backs to select from. He has been immense in the last few series he played in... and has been playing great again for parra this year, despite having a bomb nightmare a few weeks ago, which he came back from.
Gutherson is purely a 1. So is Papenhuyzen. And Tedesco. Mitchell n Trbojevic are the fullbacks who can legitimately play elsewhere in the backs.
I can’t see them picking anyone ahead of Tedesco at fullback, so it’s hard to get Gutherson or Pap into the team.. To pick them out of position or on the bench is a risk for mine. We had injuries last year to cover... but if none this year I’d think Teddy, Turbo and Latrell will get into the team. There’s 3 gun fullbacks, with two who can cover shuffles in the backline in the event of injury ..
Does anyone have a feeling that this years series will be a much more accurate indicator then last year. Players in mid year form at their peak, no flying in on the day of the game and much more stable teams. NSW having to make captaincy changes, captain goes off early in game 3, one of the best players not playing a single game.
Can he make 25 tackles in 25 minutes playing back row if no-one is injured? That's part of the deal too, apart from just covering the backline. I know Ponga did it, which was a surprise, but Pap looks a bit light on to me. Fittler will have learned last year about taking risks with his bench.As such I think Paps is the better option as the 14 off the bench.

As such I think Paps is the better option as the 14 off the bench. He is more versatile than Wighton and in much better form. On current form, Wighton would be at longer odds to make the NSW side in my opinion.
