What has hoppa done?!
Origin has become about loyalty and nothing else.
I understand origin loyalty for key players but not players like Hoppa!

If Hoppa plays bad they can always move SOO Sundays so they can spare his feelings on not picking him in the team again.

Tedesco, Coote and Dugan have been NSW best fullbacks. Can't believe Coote never gets a mention.

Do you think the results of the last ten series should be like 5-5 if the right teams were picked.

And this is partly the reason why we have lost 10 in a row, picking proven failures
Pretty much this, if we don't pick Teddy at fullback we aren't trying we really aren't.

Can't wait to see proven duds like Pearce,Plodner, Floppa and Jackson running out again and doing the NSW jersey proud :roll:

If Jackson gets picked, it's going to make it very difficult for me to support NSW, let alone NSW win.

Coote would be their best option, glad he doesn't get picked as a QLD fan.

He'd bring stability to their spine and help out the halves immensely.

I can understand Coote not being considered too heavily, the selectors will want someone with form in carrying a shithole team.

Win one series out of 10...advocate picking someone who was there for it. NSW logic.

To be fair, this isn't close to being as braindead as Andrew Webster suggesting today that Pearce should be picked for NSW again. You know, seeing how he's been shit in Origin for years, was shit last year, and has been giving it the 'Hi I'm Mitchell and I have a problem' rather than actually playing this year. Truly that is the stuff that makes us all 5% dumber by reading.

Hoppa should be considered for a wing spot. Dugan, Tedesco, and Coote are all clearly better fullback options, as would be Morris (if he was fit) aka the bloke Hoppa is warming the Bulldogs seat for.

You mean the same wing spot he's been doing two-thirds of f**k all on for the last couple of years? No thanks

Spot on. We stole a series due to Cronk being injured and having Hayne play well yet we still want to pick nuffies like Pearce, Reynolds and friends. :crazy:

you could say that about plenty of players you jizz over

And it works both ways, some players transfer over to Origin that aren't popular in the regular game

My concern is what will happen when Slater/Inglis cease to be 'Original' . . . oh shit, I forgot about Munster who I wouldn't swap for either of the above . . . all is good

The form fullback of the past 12 months and arguably this season has to be Coote. How is he not even getting a look in?
