Does he though??
View attachment 13270

Yes. His ball playing stats are above them (try/linebreak assists). Combined with either Pearce or Maloney who are better running halves (I'd prefer Maloney) it would be a good halves combination in my opinion. We will have the better forward pack to give him time and a reasonable backline to take advantage of his very good passing game.

Pearce will be picked and he's our best option. We need someone to organise the forwards to create space for our backs. If he does that, I'm happy.

If Pearce has Cords and Hayne on his left, he just needs to run plays and give Hayne and Teddy good ball, that's it. Maloney can link with the right side.

I also believe Pearce's team mate Cords will be cap. With no Gallen and Bird, Pearce will have a lot more control.

Unfortunately I don't think Farah is the best choice. I'd rather see Pearce organise and feed the forwards and get quick ball from dummy half all game.

Maloney must be our kicker Close to the line, Pearce can't grubber, but Maloney can.

The last thing we need is Maloney playing out of position and Moylan/Hayne mucking around with the ball as first receiver. So Pearce it is.

Maloney’s job won't change. Look at game 3 last year. He didn't suddenly flop because Moylan was at 6. They played well and we won. With Moylan doing very well.

The biggest advantage of Pearce/Maloney is their days together at the Roosters might allow for a good halves combination.

I certainly prefer Wallace over Farah, but I would prefer Peats, McGuinness or even Cooke.

Farah has been absolute shit except for his last game. He is not even the best hooker is a useless team.
If Farah gets picked NSW's changes of winning are almost 0

You are correct.

At this stage I would be happy with anyone but farah.

If Jackson is picked over Graham in the backrow we deserve to lose the series.

Jackson is basically a 'b' grade Cordner, Graham gives the backrow that mongrel and skill. Picking Graham is a no brainer surely.

Agreed.

Another advantage to Graham is his kicking game and ability to shut down opposition halves.

 

[big hit!]

Maloney is a left-side half......always has been even when he played with Pearce at Roosters.

Pearce will run the right-side of the field and will have Jackson, Dugan & Ferguson outside him in attack with Teddy chiming in.

Don't need to get too hung up about the #6 or #7. If it's an open-side play starting on the left, Maloney will receive the ball before Pearce. If it's an open-side play originating from the right, Pearce will receive the ball before Maloney. Obviously, only one of them will be involved in short-side plays on their side (Maloney-left, Pearce-right) of the field.

Shitpost? I seriously doubt Merrin and Jackson are in the team.

 

[big hit!]

If Jackson is picked over Graham in the backrow we deserve to lose the series.

It's always been known that Graham wouldn't get a starting forward gig because he's competing against Cordner on the left. Jackson is a right forward. Other right forwards are Frizzell, Lewis, Scott, Hoffman, etc....just rattling of Blues right forwards of recent years. I agree with many that Lewis should get it. Frizell is just as adept in the middle as on the right edge.

and no Bird?

re Jackson, he'll be there. the folks important in NSW origin absolutely love him.

merrin, well he's incumbent test middle forward....not beyond the realms of probability.

You may have guessed it but I would have Graham over Cordner. He offers so much much more than Cordner.

 

[OldPanther]

I didn't even notice that. Makes the list even more unbelievable.

Lol I really hope that is the team, I want to see QLD put a score on them.

Bird is listed at 14
Which wouldn't surprise if Dugan is fit.

Jake Trbo is the real loser if thats the side, missing out to plods like Merrin Jackson and Woods. No doubt though those 3 are higher up the selectors pecking order unfortunately

 

[Clifferd]

Shitpost? I seriously doubt Merrin and Jackson are in the team.

Nope 100% truthful leaked team and I can't see it being far off the mark at all using the Daley selection criteria, provided there are no injuries to the above players
