Moses and Brooks will be there in the future, right now it's too early. In about 2-3 years I see something like

1. James Tedesco
2. Tom Trbojevic
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Josh Dugan
5. Blake Ferguson
6. Mitchell Moses
7. Luke Brooks
8. Aaron Woods
8. Nathan Peats
10. Andrew Fifita
11. Shaun Lane
12. Bryce Cartwright
13. Tepai Moeroa

14. Jack Bird
15. Trent Merrin
16. David Klemmer
17. Junior Paulo

shaun lane can't even make our side this season

I would still pick Dugan at fullback. He has always played well for NSW at fullback and was our best player last year. Doesn't shine away from the big moments as well.

I really hope Tedesco gets picked at Fullback and not thrown on the wing. Im getting sick of NSW always picking the "safe option" and picking players not lose as opposed to picking a team to win.

Tedesco will be picked at fullback. Dugan will be in the centers, on the wing, or watching at home.

Dugan should not be picked in the centres. Both Jennings and Jmoz deserve to retain their spots but if one is out go with an actual centre.

Dugan got carved up defensively on the wing for Australia, it doesn't get any easier moving in one.

He was excellent there defensively in 2014 from memory though.

Based off what we have seen from him at centre this season he is not one of our top two. If he goes back there for the dragons and starts to find his feet then fair enough have a look at him but for mine as of now selecting him in the centres would be silly. Basically he should prove himself at centre with some form, I have no idea why he would be an automatic selection there.

He's not. He was player of the series last yeah so he's kinda inked in. But who give a shit. Last year was last year. Tedesco is the best by a mile and Dugan doesn't even want to play fullback for his club. I'd have no prob picking him on reputation to play in the center so long as he's playing ok for his club. He's a freak and I half expect him to be one of the best centers in the game in two months anyway.ultimately it's a non issue. NSW don't need Dugan.

Tedesco did all he could. He can't carry the team by himself. Moses and Brooks have been lowered a few pegs though.

Teddy has freakish tackle breaking and can make meters when it seems like he is surrounded. When there is limited time and space you need this ability in origin instead of relying on others to put you in the space like merritt

If Mansour keeps on playing like he did last night he could get back into calculations. I cant see it happening though unless there are more injuries. I expect we will see:

1. Tedesco
2. Hopoate
3. Jennings
4. Morris / Dugan
5. Ferguson

Dugan would be fullback if he was permanently there for club. But he is gambling a spot in the team by wanting to become a centre. It works out well for NSW as Tedesco is a better fullback.

Dugan will be fullback because Loz is a Dragons fan as far as i can tell. Teddy is the best fullback we have but Moylan might be more effective if we pick halves that can't create shit.

Daley has said Dugan will be in the side somewhere. Surely hopoate will be nowhere near the team.

Is Radradra actually able to play or not?

Moylan's got to get on the field before you can consider him. I suspect he's given others too much head start for this year, barring a run of injuries.
