Nah. Pick your best players, regardless of age.

It makes no sense.

12 straight finals wins including two Clives.

Orchestrated the greatest comeback the game has seen in a GF while his halves partner was off the field.

He's clearly not been fit all season but he still has all the tools. Just doesn't seem to want to use them in Origin.

The complete lack of structure under the space cadet and Daley doesn't help.

Origin is a different beast, the thing I don’t get is at club level I’ve seen Cleary be able to adjust on the fly, whether it be positioning himself to receive the ball abit wider, utilising chip kicks behind a rushing defence, etc but at origin level it’s like he goes through the motions and plays to not make a mistake.
If you look at the halves that have done well for nsw over the years it’s guys like Moses, Walker and Maloney who aren’t scared to play what’s in front of them, aren’t scared to make an error and quite frankly play eyes up footy

 

[T-Boon]

when does Cleary plan to have a good game for the NSW blues?

Moses has won his last three Origin games inc a Suncorp decider?

Api is the bets hooker in the game. Teddy is a handbrake at origin level though. Cleary 50/50

 

[icewind]

Hahahahahahahaha Shibasaki.
f**k me dead Slater is an absolute basket case. Hopefully it’s that absolute grub of a human’s last ever game in charge. What a f**king clown.

hahahahahaha indeed

 

[Canard]

It's going to shit be to tears that the moment Robson is a Chook he will never play another rep game ever again.

 

[Canard]

Hahahahahahahaha Shibasaki.

Hahahahahahaahahaha Hopgood and Kerr and no Horsburgh.

f**king LOL for the ages

It’s really either Tedesco or Papenhuyzen, and I reckon Paps has lost a step after all those injuries while Teddy is better than ever.

Cleary deserves another chance with Moses after game 1

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Dear NSW

lol

Geez you guys just don't get Origin

 

[ColdWetPanther]

It's going to shit be to tears that the moment Robson is a Chook he will never play another rep game ever again.

Surely it is the opposite. Isn’t it written into Roosters contracts that they will guarantee them SOO selection?

Cleary plays chin down footy

 

[skeepe]

f**king LOL for the ages

Why? Everything I said was still right. Sure, Queensland won so Slater will stay on, but those selections are just as ludicrous now as they were at the time

 

[Desert Qlder]

Tom Dearden is the Australian halfback, best in the game. Possibly the best defensive half of all time.

 

[Panther Mike]

Everyone was terrible and only Penrith players who was ok was To’o. Still it is freeing to not care about Origin and imaginary feelings of belonging to a ‘state’. It is a manufactured sense of community.

Only premierships matter to me. Penrithian not New South Welsh. Origin is a waste of a third of the club season where we are dished up inferior club games for the sake of 3 exhibition games between states. I would say the same thing even if NSW won every game 30-0.

 

[mozza91]

Maybe the dead rubber next year?
He’s god tier in the Penrith System and wildly mediocre outside of it. We seriously should give Katoa the 7 jersey next year but no way Loz has the cags.

 

[Perth Red]

The talk all week was how Cleary needs to nail a decider to be classed as an all time great.
I suppose there’s always next year.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Does he have the neck muscles to keep his chin up?

 

[Belza1]

Maybe NSW can get Woods to insult NSW coach then maybe they will play as a team . Qld got behind Billy and won the series.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Surely the issue lies in the spuds they insist on picking as coach? Freddie and Loz might be Origin legends but gee, they couldn't coach a sky diver to head downwards. Nor can they select. So many guys in this NSW side who are injured or out of form.

That’s why much like yourself I’m more of a Victoria man
