Christ I hope Duges doesn't get picked. Hayne is an absolute must at fullback and it's a massive risk to have Duges in the centres in a game we must win. Hoppa is class and would handle a return to this level and without Inglis (looking likely he's gone), that qld backline loses a lot of sting.

Richards is a left winger. Not sure how much that will count against him since I think Brett Morris is also a left winger at the Dragons correct me if I'm wrong...

That notwithstanding he would be a very handy replacement. All of a sudden you have a 90%+ goal kicker who turned kick offs into a weapon and can drop kick it 60 metres+ on the full consistently not to mention safe under the high ball, experienced and never really seems to do anything wrong... He should be there.

Not sure what Hoffman can offer off the bench in terms of impact but he can defend so I guess it's okay. Could've used with Williams or Fifita though.

Dugan at center sounds like a defensive masterstroke. It is up there with other great defensive moves like Merritt on the wing. What could possibly go wrong???

I expect to see Hopoate jamming in to help on Inglis, and Boyd having a field day yet again.

Way to forfeit game 2 Lozza.

If Dugan does get picked at centre, it wouldn't surprise me to see Hayne defend at right centre on our own line

I dont get the issue with picking Dugan. He is a player who can bust the line and make a big play. Sure he hasnt played much centre but neither had Hayne.

Ive always been a big believer in having your best players on the paddock even if that means some have to play outside of their current club positions

As long as he doesnt act like a pillock in camp he wont be an issue for NSW

Expect Inglis and Boyd to get a lot of ball...

Tough job for Duges and Hopoate to fill in for the Morris twins. No easy task.

Hoppa has brilliant hands and can set a winger up pretty well, he's made Sio look pretty good this year and Sio's has 10 tries to his name already.

Dugan has hands like feet and needs to be on the wing, otherwise who ever plays outside him will never see the ball.
