Teflonesco still in the team
Murray plays 80 every weekI think people still sleep on Cam Murray somewhat.
Murray ball plays as well, he just does things a bit faster than Yeo. But Yeo can play 80 mins consistently and Murray can't.
Look they're basically as good as each other. The reason Murray should start is that Yeo has had a shot, so give Cam a turn.
I was hoping the raiders would've had at least half their team selected.Can’t really blame Freddy for dropping Hudson I guess. Once it became clear Billy was going to pick Big Red, he had no alternative under the maximum 1 Raider per Origin match rule.
And really, it's all a team running equal 3rd deserves.
He's played 80 in two out of 15 games this year.Murray plays 80 every week
Not wanting them picked and scratching your head why they were overlooked for other options is 2 different things.
Luai getting the arse is media driven. He was far from worst on field both games, others far shitter got a pass because ReAsOnS.
Tago I wouldn't have picked anyway, but if you are picking Best, then he should be in the conversation. He owned Best less that 2 weeks ago, then destroyed Melbourne, Best played well yesterday, and you can only play whats in front of you, but f**k me, my Nan would have scored a hattrick against that Dogs side.
Drinkwater? lol.
Lenui is in the extended squad, we are short of decent front rowers, just seems odd he isn't in the 17.
Still dont care, I'd rather the 3peat than maybe win a dead rubber.
Luai with a point to prove will be a good thing in that regard.

He’s played plop this seriesI think he'll play prop.
Freddy stopped reading at glass cannonNSW is just f**ked relying on two glass cannons and a broken down old man.
Freddy's just compounding shit.
Hence why Penrith fans scratch their heads, Replace players from clubs going well with players from duds.
Agreed. Hynes is a flat-track bully, which is why he looks like Thurston, Lewis, and Joey Johns when he plays us. However, he probably deserved more than 10 minutes in the centres in Game 1 before being dropped.Hence why Penrith fans scratch their heads, Replace players from clubs going well with players from duds.
Even Cody Walker. IF Luai isn't a longer term prospect then surely Hynes is the one?
He is in a side running top 4, After winning the Dally M and finishing 2nd last year
Just because a player plays for a club side that’s going well, it doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily the right type of player for Origin. This is something that NSW and our selectors have massively failed to comprehend and the main reason we’ve lost the series.
Penrith are a good example of that. Fantastic club team with fantastic structures no doubt, but their players (particularly the halves) have mostly shown to massively struggle out of it. Origin suits blokes that have vision and can play a bit off the cuff and change up the game plan when it’s not working…those players aren’t always from the top teams.
I can guarantee you that QLD wouldn’t pick Cleary over DCE just because Penrith are good and Manly are bad.
Freddy sees a lot of himself in Braddy obviously.Staggs can't really defend but Best doesn't have a brain... tough call
To be fair the whole shopping Best around rumour was a figment of Weidler’s imagination.Is NSW getting the Best that:
Tore Dogs apart or that was being shopped around a month ago?
Yes it really is a nonsense argument. Player in bad team must be worse than player in good team.Just because a player plays for a club side that’s going well, it doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily the right type of player for Origin. This is something that NSW and our selectors have massively failed to comprehend and the main reason we’ve lost the series.
They won 8 in a row picking 4 - 5 spine players that will almost all be Immortals and some damn good props, too. Actually they often did the complete opposite of what you said? Picked players they knew they could rely on to perform at that level even if they were going busted for their NRL club.QLD won 8 in a row picking players in form, from winning clubs.
NSW picks players who are the flavour of the weeks and lose
Oh that was player position and selection , coach selection is much better , ......Was that for selecting the NSW squad for game 3 this year, or the NSWRL selection process for choosing its Origin coach?
