I can only assume you didn’t actually watch origin to leave out Edwards, Angus Crichton and Bradman Best.

Latrell & Turbo are our best centre pairing when fit and firing.

Walsh is better than Edwards at his best, as is Ponga, don't need three fullbacks plus fullback options in Latrell and Turbo all in the side.

Fair call on Chrighton, chalk that up to QLD bias

 

[Someone2]

With Moses out for the year the spine should be

1. Turbo/ Walsh
6. Dearden/ Munster
7 Cherry Evans
9 Hunt

Turbo hasn’t been fit in like forever and Cobbo is well behind Coates and Holmes for me. Walsh has a better highlight reel but Edwards does all the little things right like positioning, defence and awareness. There’s no way you watched games 2 and 3 and came away with the conclusion that Walsh is better than Edwards

Walsh is more dangerous than Edwards for sure and Edwards is less versatile than Ponga. And it is the latter reason he doesn't make the side. Walsh has missed quite a bit of footy this year and wasn't at his best in Origin, in a side that was on the back foot.

Walsh, Ponga , Turbo, Latrell, even Cobbo if needed... this side doesn't need a guy that can only play fullback.

Coates would be there for me but again that might have been more wishful thinking on my part that he would choose PNG. Probably not though.

Walsh isn't better than Edwards. He can do things Edwards cannot, and vice versa, but Edwards has by far the more complete game.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Walsh isn't better than Edwards. He can do things Edwards cannot, and vice versa, but Edwards has by far the more complete game.

Again, Edwards isn't making the team due to his lack of versatility and the fact that there are already 3-4 fullback options in the side. He's not needed.

Edwards is a great metre eater, is extremely reliable and solid in defence.

Walsh has x factor, speed, ball playing ability and a decent kicking game. Ditto Ponga without the lightning top end speed

Walsh is more dangerous I don’t disagree but you still choose ignore all the other facets like defence, positioning, organising the line, repeat efforts and metres.
I’m not saying Edwards should be the utility or squad player, I’m saying straight up he’s a better all round fullback than Reece Walsh.

I don’t get your versatility point; surely you pick your best fullback to play, I don’t know, fullback?

 

[Michael Matral]

Nope

I did pick my best fullback, Walsh. He offers more in attack and a kicking game. Edwards has only just managed to crack the NSW team, he's not all of a sudden at the front of the queue for the Kangaroos job. If not Walsh, it will be Ponga as he offers more.

Walsh creates points I guess. Problem is he does it for both sides. He is fun to watch, but he aint the best fullback in the game. Edwards, Ponga and Teddy all well ahead. Add Turbo to that list when fit.

 

[Valheru]

1 Tedesco (c)

That's all you need to know.

Mal has all but confirmed it.

 

[_Johnsy]

Reece “glory” Walsh isn’t that close to making the Australian team. He needs to lose the focus on glitter plays. As you could see in games 2 & 3, went to water when things got tough. He spent 3/4 of his time taking a dive, laying down for a penalty or walking back to the defensive line holding a body part while looking up at the big screen to see himself.

A pass from me.

 

[Wb1234]

Moses is a god tier halfback now

split hair between him and Nathan Cleary

never thought he could rise to that level tbh

Yep, he has the tendency that Latrell Mitchell and Coady Walker had during the back half of last year, trying to turn every half chance into points by going for the high risk play. When they come off they look spectacular, but when they don't they can be disastrous. Being high risk, they tend to not come off more often than not.

Again you simply choose to ignore all the other facets of fullback play almost as if they don’t matter.
Edwards has won 3 premierships, Clive Churchill medal and man of the match in an origin decider, normally I’d tell you to come back when Walsh can match that resume but that would be unfair because Walsh will likely never match that resume.
