So I'd rather none of our players play state of origin.. but it obviously is important to them so hopefully they stay fit for it than us for the rest of the year..
I'd say certainties are nath, yeo, too...
Luai is probs in with a good chance for game 1.
Critta I don't see getting picked.
Marto would probs have been there if it wasn't for injury. If he can get a few solid games under his belt before than we might be without him too.
I think a real smokey is Spencer lenui. I've seen a few journos name him in their team.. I really think he might get picked.. I'm pretty sure he fits the criteria and he played for the blues in the u20s. He wouldn't look out of place.
If teddy goes down I truly think they will pick dylan at fb too.
Only bloke with no chance who was their last year is critta I'd say. Few others ahead of him..
Worst case I think we could be without Edwards (if injuries to teddy), too, luai, nath, yeo, marto, Spencer.
That's a lot of blokes to cover and our nsw cup team is doing bog average atm.
Can see the origin period being extremely tough this year on the club.
We don't have the cattle to replace blokes..
I guess worst case if for some reason all those blokes get picked I'd run with-
Iongi or Turuva
Turuva- daeon
Critta
Tago (hopefully he's back)
McLean
Cole
Cogger
Eiso
Luke
Fish
Soro
Hosking
Kenny (play the 80 tackle all day and get into hooker after Luke's had a scoot and been tackled and pass it straight to the halfs)
Peachy (hooker cover if Luke is struggling otherwise fill in anywhere)
Lindsay Smith
Leota (not a demotion- just trying to even out the bench quality and a bit of impact)
Salmon
Anyway, that'd be worst case... we are certainly going to do it tough.
