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

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.

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
