Tedesco may actually work in centres in attack, he is so good At beating his opposite man 1 on 1

However I'd be very suss with him in defense

The incumbent NSW half who was MOM in the last game and since then won a premiership shackled with Townsend as his partner was never in danger of not being selected to start in the halves.
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.

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.

If Maloney is left out and Farah is at hooker I won't be cheering on the Blues this year.

Not that they'll give a f**k, but I just can't bring myself to support another Blues side with that undeserving cretin Robbie Farah at hooker.

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.

Didnt we finally win a series that year.

Also idris scored a try on his debut.

Isn't it? They had this silly idea that club combinations are the way to go, despite no sensible evidence suggesting it was any better

That was the real reason, I was only lol'ing at the way you put it. Anyways it was thanks to that incident and selection policy that won us the series that year. Pearce looked certain for selection after winning a premiership the year before until that angel in the yellow dress caught Pearces eye and he decided to jump out at her. Thanks to that incident it opened the door for Hokko and Reynolds who were instrumental in winning game 2. Hokko scored the only try and kicked all the points while Reynolds really got under Thurston's skin. Regardless of how wrong the NSW selectors are most of the time, everynow and then one of those ideas turns out for the best.

Laurie should pick Pearce at halfback, Farah at hooker again, and Dylan Walker on the bench this year.
