Does 18th man have to miss out this weekend?

 

[Exsilium]

Does 18th man have to miss out this weekend?

I think they do unless there are no NSW training issues which lead him to be on standby.

 

[Exsilium]

Apparently QLD are going to pick Cobbo to play in the centres with Tualagi to play wing. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just leave them in their preferred position?

Tualagi is a winger

Cobbo and Taulagi at wing and Holmes and Hammer in the centres.

Walsh at fullback. Yikes. Would have preferred Ponga but his brain is clearly not well, poor guy.

Pongas brain or Billy’s brain?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Pongas brain or Billy’s brain?

Bitta this bitta that. Walsh's brain doesn't work half the time too.

 

[beave]

Welch should be starting with Tino.

Flegler and Collins off the bench.

I get that Tino is awaiting todays citings.

I think Tualagi should think himself very lucky.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Does 18th man have to miss out this weekend?

Yep 18th man can't play for club this week.

Considered part of the game day team.

HIA rules have changed this year and the ferocity of origin there is a chance Graham may still get a run.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Hynes offers very little injury coverage and I can't see how he gets into the game.
6.Hynes
14.Burton
Would have made a lot more sense

 

[aqua_duck]

TPJ seems like a Gus influenced pick. I’ve never watched TPJ and thought origin player, heck half the time I watch him and don’t even think first grader.
I know NSW were down on props but surely guys like Klemmer, Paseka, Tatola or Utoikamanu were better and more reliable options

 

[mozza91]

Hynes offers very little injury coverage and I can't see how he gets into the game.

Freddy probably wants cover in the halves for when the Penrith blokes go missing again.

Burton is a large reason the Bulldogs are 15th... does kick a pretty bomb though

 

[yobbo84]

My biggest gripe with what SOO has become is that it has moved from a representative side to its own "club" where coaches are selectors and decide who they want for combinations etc.

The coaches should have no say.

A combined selection committee should be rewarding the best 34 New South Welshmen and Queenslanders at the time based on form, and then coaches get their 17 players to coach.

"Combinations", "incumbency" or "past deeds" should have nothing to do with representative footy. Selection, IMHO, should be a reward for what you have done in the NRL that season.

 

[Blues Riff]

Jerome gives Api a rest. Nicho goes to 5/8.

Shit bait. The forwards rolling over and being complete cowards lost game 3 last year
