Boyd's replacement

[Tera]

Lachlan Maranta surely.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Lachlan Maranta surely.

Dude you stole my joke from the other thread

 

[Bobby DIGital]

LMFAO @ the thought of this all conquering QLD side with Maranta on the wing.

 

[Aragorn]

Why would you pick Barba on the wing? fair dinkum no idea some people.

and why would you not? if someone like Tate can play on one wing, then pretty sure Barbs could do a descent job on the other.

 

[unbreaK]

For mine the only plausible replacements are Chambers (Ideal), Lee (2nd best option), Barba (Worst case).. Do NOT want to see O'Neil or Graham

Why not Boyd plays fullback and he plays on the wing for QLD, i think Barba will go great on the wing but hopefully they don't pick him for nsw sake

 

[Dazzat]

whats the logic behind this? isnt Boyd playing FB along with Inglis for their respective clubs ? Isnt Tate a centre? I think Neilson has also played wing in one of the origins?

Barba would kill it on the wing.

Both Boyd and Tate played a lot of wing while at the Broncos. I'm talking about at least some first grade experience in a given position.

 

[Shorty]

Ash Graham wouldn't be out of place, he's an experienced winger and yes, he's got errors in him but so did Brent Tate and Billy Slater.
The fact that he's been with the team before and what he plays for the cows, he'd be the best pick for the backline stability.

 

[Dazzat]

The big media tip is Nielsen, but he has had only one game back from injury.

I really, really hope they go for Edrick Lee. He has the personality for the big stage, and I've noticed that his defence is pretty solid as well. Let's throw caution to the wind and give an entertainer of the game an opportunity.

Nielsen - boring! Graham - boring! Chambers - moderately less boring. Lee - let's go.

 

[Noname36]

I wouldn't doubt Gagai would kill it on wing.

I think he might be carrying an injury still.

And please God no, the Knights have already run out of back line replacements.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Ash Graham wouldn't be out of place.

Yeeeeah he pretty much would be.

Agreed. X-factor player. Best in the world in the air too.

Obviously not, he's been 18th man before iirc:?

Raider fans are great for a laugh. The other day it was Wighton for NSW, now Lee for QLD. Give it at least another year.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Plz pick Vidot

Lee is talented, but surely it is too early for him. This is a bloke who has played a handful of first grade games, scores a walk in try on the weekend, did some fantastic work in the air, but was caught on three occasions in no man's land going for an intercept, gifting Manly three trys. Making plays that don't come off like that on a bigger stage can damage a promising young player like Lee's career immeasurably.

My guess is that it will be someone that has been around a while, Chambers/Nielsen.

I'm the only Raiders fan in here throwing up Edrick's name.

Looks like they've gone with Justin "the broken down Ferrari" O'Neill.

*holds back laughter*

Croker hung him out to dry on every single one of those occasions.
It was not Croker's finest game... Lee probably got discussed but i agree, too early for him now.

You must be f**king joking !!
