I wouldn't pick Ferguson at centre, imo he's a bit overrated by selectors. But he tends to do the job well enough.

My backline right now is

1 Tedesco
2 Dugan
3 Bird
4 Hayne
5 Ferguson

But we have a lot of options. Fair few of the centres i list above can play wing. As well as blokes like Tommy Trbo. Pity Josh Mansauce is out.
Dugan on the wing was a huge disaster for Australia

What makes you think it will work out better for NSW?

Id like to see Fafita and Paulo in rotation. Fafita starting and Paulo coming on for him

having 2 big guys who can make metres and offload is a rare luxury and we need to take advantage of it

This.

I rate Dugan, but he is a fullback. (Maybe a centre. I'm still not convinced).

He is definitely not a winger. If you want a great example of why, watch the dragons vs Melbourne game from round 1 last year where he was caught out defending on the wing.

He's not the only reason we've lost but he's a massive part of it. He's been picked 15 times and is yet to have a good performance, his decision making and kicking have been deplorable. He's had way too many chances and doesn't deserve any more.

and similarly IF reynolds played as many his blooper tape could have been twice longer simply because he's not a better player. it's easy for an armchair critic to pretend they can guarantee otherwise

For me it's Fullback or nothing.

If If If

Fact remains Pearce has had a shit tonne of chances and bombed nearly every one. The sheer length of the vid that existed highlighted just how inept he was at that level

You can also add his little mouthing off episode he had at JT in game one 2015 too. Seriously, who does that after winning one bloody game with 2 still on the line and absolutely nothing to back it up. He was made to look like an absolute, immature goose

If we choose another halfback we guarantee a win..

How'd that go last year?

If if if..You're doing the same thing

lol I never said anything about choosing another halfback guaranteeing a win mate. Not even once

There is a tonne of evidence to show that Pearce is not up to Origin standard though

BTW, if you want to get silly I could easily argue that a change in halves did have that effect in 2014

Lol yeah right let's bring back hodko and jreynolds as halves...

Every man and his dog knows that series was won off the back of Hayne at fullback

Forgot what game it was but I remember he came on and his first touch of the ball he nearly scored in what could've won nsw the game

Bloke is a freak and made for origin, just dunno what's his best position lol

Still remember him playing all of the gf with basically a dislocated elbow also and imo was in the top 3 players on the field.
