Getting rid of Merritt and finally stamping him as never to play origin again. I didn't think he would make so many errors but wow I was wrong! Merrin was solid, can't believe I doubted him. Stupid fight but hey. Hoffman was ineffective, no use for him, move Bird out wide and push Merrin up the middle. Tamou returns and so does Tim Grant. I thought Woods style wouldn't really suit NSW game structure and was right. Maloney and more importantly Perace were rubbish, but they'll stay. Malony deserves another chance but ideally Pearce needs to go. Keep Dugan, he was good despite the one error. Move him into wing next to Morris, he's similar to Ferguson - big, tall, strong, good under the high ball and of course bring back the number 1 number 1 - Hayne.
