This pack of forwards is awesome. Big strong pack that will lose nothing when the bench players come on. Roberts for Dugan gives us a backline full of speed and good defensive skills. T Turbo on the wing is great for speed, high ball and kick returns..
Actually I think your spot on except maybe DUGAN for Roberts and the bolter being a 2nd hooker in Cook for Jake Trbojevic who may pay him missing out because of Manlys poor form and his.. I can't see Sims missing out, nor Vaughan, RCG..

Just finished watching the ISP cup and boy oh boy are we in for a shock if we lose 4 forwards to S of O. Robson for McInnes no one else impressed me. Penrith ran throu them.
Yep, although I didn’t like look of Robson abusing his teammates all the time.

I just watched the ISP game and no one from our side really impressed me. I agree that Robson looks like he could handle the step up to first grade.

I have not considered Cleary due to his injury and so like the option of Peter Wallace at dummy half with a very hand kicking game to back up Maloney and Luke Brooks. Wallace can also cover for any injury to our 6 and 7 with Damien Cook on the bench as a weapon.

I too watched the ISP game. The whole team looked slow,disjointed, riddled with mistakes. Come SOO time we are f**ked. Not 1 player in the ISP team looked like they could play at NRL level. If we lose our STAR NRL players to SOO, then we might as well forfeit as WE WILL NOT WIN ANY GAMES IN THE SOO PERIOD.
I HATE SOO.

Insert Cook as 9 .Heard on the grapevine he's good to go. I'd also tip Merrin to go.

It's just one game we won't have them.
One bye and one weekend stand alone SOO game this year.

The ISP team looks shit weak, but it's poor coaching, if they had a decent coach we would see a decent team.

Coaches do make a difference, ask West Tigers, Rabbits and Newcastle.

I know Maloney is going well, but he's becoming a bit like Pearce at Origin level... He never really kicks on and grabs the game by the throat.

Somebody needs to tell me why Blake Green and Nathan Cleary shouldn't be the 6 and 7 for NSW. It's the best possible combination I believe.

Given his impact for SGI off the bench, is there any feasible reason (other than depth) that LAM can't be considered for SOO?

NSW could definitely use him.

He's a Kiwi mate.

He's actually Samoan.

Au Mau has played a few Tests for Samoa, but if this was a problem then Frizell (Wales) and Vaughan (Italy) wouldn't be eligible either.

It's not as though international rugby league is particularly strong.

The difference is that Ah Mau was born and bred and played all of his junior league in NZ.

My understanding is that even residency wouldn't circumvent that under the new origin eligibility rules.

I like this NSW team because the Dragons only lose two players to NSW. Then we will lose Hunt to Qld and Widdop and Graham to England. I doubt Nightingale will make the NZ side however, 5 of our best players will go missing.
