Regardless of how stupid the selectors are, I don't think they're insane enough to leave out the premiership winning and backup Australian five-eighth.You clearly haven't been paying attention to NSW selection policy for the past ten years.
I don't trust them to approach this year with the level of logic that you have applied.
Maloney has never been in doubt
The only question is who partners him in the halves
Maloney getting dropped because Pearce got kicked out of a nightclub is one of the all time stupidest selections.
Up there with Idris on the bench.
