Graham has ability, but he's the Greg Bird of now....has a good brain fart in him which will turn the game against NSW.

Fittler will ultimately be better off without these type of rogue merkins who simply can't handle the mental side at this level.

We don't even know if Fifita is going to be available for NSW. To do so he has to declare to play for Australia, which means he has to forego playing for Tonga. I read a media article earlier this year he was undecided and was not going to make up his mind until closer to the series.

Surely Fifita will never play for NSW again.

I do like the look of Friz right, Wade left, Jake Middle, De Bellin bench backrower.

Makes perfect sense.

So won't happen.
I love it when you blues supporters turn upon each other months before hostilities start (and you say we are inbred)

10. David Klemmer
11. Wade Graham
12. Tyson Frizell
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Jack De Belin
15. Regan Campbell-Gillard
16. Paul Vaughan

Is there anyone that would DISAGREE with a front and back row rotation that looks like this?

Can still remember how you inbreeds whinged and whined to the hills about QLD selections for game 1 last year. Lockyer was being called a muppet on talkback radio.

they love Jackson...
Surely they won't be dumb enough to pick him again?!
Every year we have this conversation, and every year he's in the side. The only hope this year is that "they" are completely different people this year.

Cordner probably has enough runs on the board, but surely he's only captain until someone decent comes along. Woods likewise will make it, and I'd make him captain before Cordner, being far more articulate, but chances are that horse has already bolted.

The concern with Cordner is injury, not ability. I am not sure he is quite right at the moment and he isn't playing the full 80 which he normally would. He will be picked if available though.

I don't really like the talk of Keary either. He is going great guns but if he doesn't want to play for NSW then what is the point?

Fergo probably won't be picked and I can't say I blame them but I tell you what, on form there is no better winger in the NRL at the moment.

Cordner is a solid and usually a consistent player but I left him out because of the wealth of talent in the backrow. There's just better players then him, I mean next year he won't even be the best second rower at the Roosters.

Keary did say he wanted to play for NSW after that whole saga and should be considered.

Agree with Ferguson, best winger in the comp atm, if he was picked again I wouldn't hold it against them.

If we pick players like Dugan/Hayne/Fergo/Woods/Jackson etc like we usually do we’re just going backwards. We keep saying Pearce is to blame yet these players have pretty much been there in the exact same timeframe as Pearce with the same loss %

Need to blood the next generation such as Addo-Carr/Tommy T/De Belin/Vaughn etc.

Although I will admit if Fergo keeps his form up I’d have him on the wing

QLD don't lose much with Munster and Morgan and Milford.

The first two in particular are already proven match winners when a game is on the line.

Munster is the biggest X factor in the game atm. I’ll be surprised if he isn’t considered one of the greats in 10 years time if he keeps this form up

And Morgan is already proven. So nup, they lose nothing at all. Both would walk into the NSW side easily

do we not learn or remember?

Fittler and his assistant will have to look beyond mere form to set up an strong culture.

do we really want any of these clowns - dugan, hayne, fergo, pearce, woods, fifita & graham being rewarded for stuffing it up yet again or in the fashion they did?
