New South Wales 2016

I get the feeling Daley did not want to drop Moylan either. Didn't I hear him say Moylan was one of NSW's best in Game 2?

This has been the most concerted push to get a player into a rep side I've ever witnessed. Not just in these forums (which I'm sure no-one that matters reads) but in the media as well. I suspect Daley has been dragged kicking and screaming into making this change now.

Or he finally woke up that Moylan as much as he "tried" wasn't good at all. Tedesco is a much better fullback period.

For sentimental reasons?

He's the captain, his club is at the top of the ladder and his form is never bad.

G. Bird is out. I think that isn't based on sentimental reasons.

Gallen looked like an old man in Game 2. Farah kept throwing him the ball and he kept getting buried under the Qld forwards thereby stifling the attack. Both of them are past it.

Yes losing every series bar one is inspiring I tell you! He's useless. He plays Gallen-ball with his hit ups on the 4th or 5th tackle wasting attacking plays.

Yep, because a prop forward wins you games.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Bird the bench utility.

Daley should be sacked for the Dylan Walker selection in game 1.

Two completely different styles of player. Tedesco is a tremendous running back in fantastic form, but I had the distinct impression Daley wanted to stick to his side, like Qld did when they were 2-0 down.

Instead he's dropped one spine player, and one bench player who played limited minutes anyway. The spine player dropped was far from the worst on the field in the second game. Someone has put a gun to Daley's head I reckon.

How Ferguson and Jennings manage to keep their spots I will never know.
They have not played well for NSW, and are not in good form at club level either. I didn't even know Jennings was playing against the Sharks on Saturday night.

Moylan gets dropped and Frog pulls out the conspiracy theories haha

It's not rocket science to know that James Tedesco is just a far superior fullback and I honestly dont think you can fit both of them in there somewhere. Moylan to bench maybe but you couldn't replace Jack Bird either

Matt Scott does, and he doesn't get in the way late in sets both at rep Level and Club level.

Fallen should have been retired. Give a young prop a chance before next year.

Haha spot on.

I rate Moylan highly. I reckon he's one of the top 20 players in the game. But Teddy is one of the top 5 players in the game. Easily.

So it's really an easy decision. You only have one fullback so pick the best player... SIMPLE.

Taumalolo has been doing it all year at the Cowboys. Yes I know he's a lock, just like Gallen.

 

[lockyno1]

Dylan Walker would be so disappointed Bozo got the sack lol

 

[TheFrog]

Completely agree with you on this point. We can certainly use him on the weekend as well.

I do hope, though, if your bloke doesn't set the world on fire you will lead the chorus for his dumping, just like you did for Moylan.

Haha.

One of the dumbest things you have posted.

And thats saying something.

Face it, as a fullback Tedesco>>Moylan.

 

[tigertiger]

He only has the world's best player alongside him.

What I'm saying is, the trend lately is for Gallen to be conveniently blamed in all the losses, whether it be 'running it on the 4th' (which is what I thought a forward is obligated to do) or 'hogging the ball' (he gets metres doesn't he? - something our other forwards don't do).

The fault to blame is glaringly obvious - our halves. You can blame whoever else till the cows come home because when they become deer in the headlights against the world's best opposition - we don't win games. Simple.

 

[TheFrog]

But Teddy is one of the top 5 players in the game. Easily.

I dunno really. He's very dangerous indeed when his side is on top, but can be invisible when they are not.

I think it's fairer to compare him to Hayne than Moylan, a different style of player completely. Hayne could disappear in games too. But he could also put something on when his team was under the pump, and he could find holes in the strongest defences.

It would be nice for Jimmy if Queensland left him lots of lovely holes like the Panthers did, or if NSW get 65% of the ball like the Tigers did in Melbourne in the second half, but we all know Queensland are not going to allow him such largesse.

This is his ultimate test. I wish him well.
