New South Wales 2016

[betcats]

Imagine if Daley wasn't a f**ktard and would pick Frizell and Graham over those plodders Jackson and Cordner, with Vaughan at lock. With the props we have that would be a powerful and damaging pack, throw in any two of Cartwright, Peachey and Jack Bird on the bench and that packs got everything.

Frizzel, Graham and Vaughan should all have played some origins already, theres no way they can all be picked now.

 

[MilkShark]

Sterlo has lost his mind. I really have lost alot of respect for Sterlo especially the past few weeks with the Eels crap.

Cordner and Jackson being selected for origin is laughable. Bring in Luke Lewis, Wade Graham or Tyson Frizel for these 2.

Jack Bird is not an origin centre yet. Stick him on the bench.

Beau Scott, Beau f$%king Scott, are you kidding me?????????????? Time to retire in Newcastle mate.

The rest of the team is debatable. Happy to give Moylan a shot. I would play Ferguson in the centres especially if there is a chance Inglis is centre for QLD. Jack Bird will get destroyed by Inglis. Ferguson at least will stand a chance.

Gallen has to be in the team, lock or front row.

Have you been watching Fergo defend this year??.... if he's in the centres GI and Thurston will put 50 on us by themselves.. Take it from someone who has watched every minute of the Roosters.

Fergo's defense has been flat out atrocious. But in all honesty, I can't see a NSW team we can put together that will win two of three games anyhow if QLD are healthy.

May as well burn it down and give some young blokes a go.

I haven't watched any Roosters games. But I still feel Ferguson would be better than Bird when marking up on Inglis?

We could even leave Ferguson on the wing, Mansour hasn't done anything mush this year to warrant a spot. And bring in Roberts for centre.

 

[betcats]

Mansour has been a beast this year. Defensivley has been very solid, he has done a shitload more than fergo to earn a spot.

Yeah it's not like Scott is the best 2ndrower in the game or anything

Fergo is flashier and plays for the right club.

Yeah it's not like Scott is the best 2ndrower in the game or anything

He's a niggling grub. Just the sort of player Bigbeak loves.

 

[roostersrule2]

Cordner is a beast.

He's wasted off the bench or in the middle, put him in the Ryan Hoffman role and he'll star. As a Roosters and QLD supporter though I hope he's not picked.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

As. Qlder please pick Cordner & Jackson .

What Daley sees in these overrated pair is bizarre

Who even said Bird will play centre? at this stage of his career anyway Bird looks a 10x better prospect than Fergo

Maybe in the future he'll play centre at SOO level but I can see him shifting into the backrow/lock position in a couple years if he adds say another 5-10kg muscle mass to his current frame

My comments are based on the team Sterlo said he would pick. He had Jack Bird starting centre.

I'm Jack Birds biggest fan. I know the potential he has.

 

[betcats]

Morris has proven to be good at defending Inglis so if you want a good defensive centre pick him. I'd rather just throw Roberts in at centre and Dugan on the wing and hope they can handle it. Moylan,Mansour,Jennings,Roberts,Dugan would be my back five. A centre pairing of Jennings and Roberts is pretty electric and you have two of the best metre makers in the game on the wings returning kicks and getting our sets rolling. With Adam Reynolds kicking game we should be able to atleast hold our own in the field position battle and hopefully Maloney and Moylan can create some more points then the usual 8-12 that we manage.

 

[Captain Apollo]

If Dugan is gonna be in the side, put him at fullback or leave him out. Defensively I can see him getting crucified in the centres, especially if he has to mark Inglis. Also if you play outside him on the wing and he's your centre, fat chance him passing it to you.

Ferguson? No way I'd have him in the centres. If he is to be selected its on the wing. His defence this year has been terrible (just re-watch his game from Monday night).

As to Cordner, you either put him in the starting side or you leave him out. He is the high work rate type who will do the hit ups and the tackling. He is not the impact player type you can use off the bench as that is not his game. He is more a grinding type.

 

[Mr Angry]

This is what I fully expect from Laurie

1. Josh Dugan
2. Will Hopoate
3. Michael Jennings
4. Josh Morris
5. Blake Ferguson (Would be Brett Morris if fit)
6. James Maloney
7. Trent Hodkinson
8. James Tamou
9. Michael Ennis (replacing Robbie Farah if not ready - is in doubt)
10. Aaron Woods
11. Beau Scott
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Paul Gallen

14. Trent Merrin
15. Boyd Cordner
16. David Klemmer
17. Josh Jackson

Not what I would do but expect it.

 

[MilkShark]

I'll give it a shot:

1. Dugan
2. Ferguson
3. Jennings - speed
4. Roberts - speed
5. Mansour
6. Maloney
7. Pearce
8. Gallen
9. Farrah
10. Fifita - offloads, can bring 2nd phase play and produce points
11. Wade Graham
12. Merrin - offloads
13. Greg Bird

14. Klemmer
15. Jack Bird - utility
16. Lewis
17. Tamou

Merrin on the edge lol why?

 

[Clifferd]

No woods? He'd be one of first picked for nearly everyone

 

[MilkShark]

Merrin on the edge lol why?

To be honest I only put Merrin in there so people wouldn't whinge that I had too many Sharks it the team haha

I'd rather Lewis in the 2nd row and Merrin on the bench.

 

[MilkShark]

Meh, just a front rower. At least Fifita can bring something different to the game.

If Fifita isn't picked in this team, I give up.
