We need workers, Tolman would suit Origin better than Tamou.

Fair call about Fensom, but I can guarantee he won't play 80 mins in Origin.

Brett Stewart's biggest failing this season is his defence. If a break is made, you don't even bother watching because you know he'll miss embarrassingly.

Hayne's the man NSW need in the #1, in a woeful Eels team he has been superb.

Also, can't believe Shaun Fensom hasn't been mentioned even in passing. He's exactly the kind of player NSW need, which is his biggest problem because that's almost a guarantee he won't be picked.

FFS skeepe, just go back a page or 2 and you'll see plenty suggesting Fensom come in for Scott

Tolman would get dominated in SOO. We need big mobile bodies

Brett Stewart's defence is fine. Go rewatch the Dragons-Manly game if you think otherwise. Fensom is definitely in the frame. Problem is we have too many good back rowers. They can't all play. Scott's absence makes it a little easier, but there'll still be a couple of deserving players who won't make it.

But for f**k's sake, let's stop scratching players for one poor performance. The only reason Brett Stewart shouldn't be fullback is if Jarryd Hayne is preferred there. Stewart has done the job before for the Blues, and for mine room should be found for both of them.

Stewart should be our fullback rain, hail or shine. No reason he shouldn't. Dugans dislocated AC joint is to much of a risk. Moz (As awesome as he is at club level) is not a genuine fullback yet. Hayne is on one leg and the position will be to much pressure for him. So who do we choose?

If we're going for The Count and Beds, then why not pull Baz and Joey out of retirement and complete the old farts spine?

NSW is expected to overlook Brett Stewart for the fullback job this season over concerns his training time would be severely limited because of lingering problems with his knees.

Stewart returned to action for Manly on Friday night against Canterbury-Bankstown at ANZ Stadium after missing the past three matches with rib and knee injuries.

The Sea Eagles fullback represented the Blues in 2007-08 and is facing competition to fill the fullback's role again from Josh Dugan, Jarryd Hayne, Brett Morris and Anthony Minichiello.

It is believed that NSW coach Ricky Stuart thought so highly of Stewart that he was among the favourites for the Blues job alongside Dugan and Hayne. He was poised to be named Country fullback until his injuries precluded him from playing last Sunday.

It's believed Stewart had now dropped down the order because of concerns over his training regime. The Sea Eagles No. 1 has had a history of problems with his knees and major surgery on both in separate seasons (2009-10).
It is understood he cannot train with the first grade side until the final session of the week.

So he will leave our Brett Stewart because he can't train completely yet last year Ricky picked Dean f**king Young who can barely complete one training session a week because his body is completely f**ked.

Where is the logic?
