Maguire Might Not Choose Teddy This Year

[Rising from the Ashes]

It’s worth the effort risk. You need to score points. Edwards, Robson and McInnes have next to no creativity and Hynes has gone missing in every big game he’s played. With that starting side Api was a must.

The Hynes has gone missing in every big game is a myth.

He played 5 minutes of origin at centre which was a coaching howler as Burton was eligible to come on and what's he played like 4 finals games?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Great side, only selection I don't like is Hudson Young, I would have gave that bench spot to Barnett.

Sue Ali and Lomax too.

It’s a shame Wade Egan is injured, easily been NSW best 9 this season.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Lomax has been the best winger in the comp so that selection is understandable.

 

[Valheru]

Madge had to be pissed when he picked this team, what a disaster.

Dropping Teddy is an absolute disgrace. Last series wasn't his best moment and he was down on form all year but has bounced back in a big way this year and has only willed NSW to 2 series wins on his own. No doubt they will come crawling back after game 1 but I hope he tells them to stick it.

It certainly doesn't stop there though. I like to wind up penrith fans as much as the next bloke but Yeo on the bench is insanity., he is the best lock in the game and it ain't particularly close.

Lol at Robson at hooker. Api is the best hooker we have and should be there. He is crafty and put him in a good side he will create something. Can't even claim this is a form pick as cowboys stink.

To'o and crighton are ticks. I have huge question marks having both suali'i and Lomax in the team.

The halves are fine given the available options but let's not forget this dope was going to pick Cody Walker until he got injured.

I’m talking about his finals performances for Cronulla. Won’t judge him on last years game.

 

[Woody90]

Watching him its a odd one, he looks solid don't get me wrong but he doesn't scream superstar that the opposite code would splash 1.5million a season on.

Yeah personally if a player has chosen to code switch I’d only be picking them if they had something special and potential to change the game. He’s fine but he ain’t that.

 

[mxlegend99]

Better side than expected considering injuries. Though its still inferior to the Queensland lineup.
Also not picking Api is a huge mistake.

Dropping Teddy is an absolute disgrace

How?

QLD have won 3 of the past 4 series of which Teddy was captain for 3 although having the better side on paper almost every year.

 

[Valheru]

Pretty awful team but we didn’t have a lot of options with the injuries.

Suu’allii I find the strangest selection. He’s always been very overrated and is pissing off to yawnion. Thought the Fox deserved to be there after last game too.

That's not a reason to not pick him. NSW only need to worry about winning the next game and if the coach and selectors think he gives them the best chance of doing that then he should be picked.

Having said that, I wouldn't have him in the team but not for that reason.

Tedesco has been NSW worst player for the past few series.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

His picked the best two defensive centres.

Err he was knocked out in the first minute of game 3 in 2020 and was the brad fitler medalist in 2022

 

[Valheru]

Tedesco has been NSW worst player for the past few series.

Except for 2022 when he literally got the medal for being the best player?

 

[Valheru]

No he hasn't

Rugby joe is not a great defender by any means, he always has a poor read in him

 

[Allstar Knights]

H Young a myth in Origin
Robson no. Api best no.9 in.nsw
Lomax doesn’t convince me. Played a month of good footy and lots of poor games before that
Powderpuff j turbo up front
Leniu is probably good for 10 minutes of hard running then will gas

Haas and Stefano would’ve been a great starting duo setting the platform imo. Both athletic and big motors. Missed opportunity.

Hopefully Barnett and Burton makes the 17.

 

[Munky]

Hynes only playing three finals games as a halfback isn't a particularly good defence of his big match vanishing act.

Given that you play more finals by you know winning them.

 

[Munky]

Zero backline cover on the bench.

Spencer Lenui being an Origin centre could be an interesting occurrence.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Undeservingly so

Hopefully for Hynes and the people that believe in him (Myself being one) he has a cracker this series and proves the haters wrong.
