lol we still mentioning Jackson?

You’d think Frizzel would be under threat based on stats. Can’t say I’ve watched him much this year though

He’s been moved between the edge and the middle, which has been disruptive, and probably effected his stats.

But he also seems to be playing injured. And that’s definitely effecting his form. Will be interesting to see if Freddy gives him grace, because he’s not living up to his own standards so far this year.

I think Frizzell is the NSW version of Nate Myles, his stats might not be great every year but you know he's proven himself at that origin level and not just in terms of being in a winning team but his own actual performances.

What the stats do Show is that Sims has still been going very well in a rubbish team. He is an incumbent and is being left out of nearly all sides posted around various outlets. The bloke is a weapon and will bring the only real aggression from our pack. He is twice the player Chrichton is. I don’t get the Crichton love at all.

Chricton signed with the Roosters, that's how he's an automatic selection

Walker with tackle bust and try stats like a fullback or outside back

I'd be very interested to see this graphic Tedesco vs Tom Turbo this time last year. I think it would show that stats in the NRL have absolutely no bearing on Origin selection.

I rate him too, but he is in the unfortunate situation where he is playing in the same position as the Australian captain.

He also appears to be playing injured. Haven’t seen any reports, but my guess (judging by strapping and the way he reacts to contact) is rib cartilage. Impressive that he’s maintained the form that he has considering.

Thanks. I had thought Teddy was quiet pre-Origin last year but the stats don't back this up. There's no doubt though that the correct choice was made.

I’d say Keary will be out of contention for origin 1 at the very least after that concussion tonight.

Walker and Reynolds should be the halves IMO. Freddy will undoubtedly pick Cleary though

Pearce is going alright

Pearce is going alright

You just know he won't play like that in Origin when the blowtorch is applied, though.

Origin is like another 10 days away so Keary will be ok

Pearce 5 MoM.

We should stick with last year!!!
