riddle me this . batman. did maloney slap parker after the last try then run behind klemmer like a big ben creagh? would leilua be as much of an impact player without his partner in crime, jordan rapana? do you think fifita blowing up after gavin copper's try is the kind of on field behaviour that the team needs?

Maloney > every other NSW half
Leilua > every other NSW centre bar Jennings
Fifita > every other NSW prop bar Woods & Klemmer

Picking Hayne would be a step backwards for nsw. Picking guys on reputation rather than form isn't what you need. Moylan grew as that game went on, he would be worth persisting with for now.

Lichaa? He is one of the worst hookers in the game. Such a slower passer of the ball, zero creativity.

For NSW to succeed in the future, we need to build the team around Tedesco, Moylan and Bird. Moylan needs to start playing 5/8 at club level and get good at it. He unfortuantely won't be a good utility player imho. Bird needs to accept he is a centre.

No matter what, these 3 need to all be in the starting team.

Nope

He pushed Parker, gave him some lip and Klemmer came in afterwards. I didn't see Maloney back away, just one of his big fellas step in and back him up

Maloney definitely did back away haha how could you miss that? Old man Parker chased him right around the blues huddle of celebrating players while Maloney laughed his head off, Bird saw what happened and chased Parker to help Maloney but big Klemmer got there first before Gagai got there and tried to commit suicide. In the middle of all that Woodsy went flying through, the whole thing was hilarious.

I think Michael Jennings might have bought some time for himself after his performance in Game 3. There were murmurs Jennings along with (Gallan, Greg Bird, and Farrah) should go. But as long his form is ok, I just don't Laurie Daley leaving him out of the team next year. Jennings is only 28 years old, hardly over the hill.

Note - Ask for dispensation for Radradra. He's played for Aus already, so get him in there somehow. They let Lam play ffs. These are desperate times for the Blues.

Some of these teams look all right.

The problem NSW have is that they didn't get their best team until Game 3, but even that was due to injuries and off-field indiscretions, so they're likely to go back to the same well of a mis-matched team with plodders who shouldn't be there next year.

Lol. I actually think nsw were better in 2015. they did win a 'live' game. but qld were better too. this year, we missed what slater and chambers bring to the team. oates and o'neill were very good but wouldn't have played and imo won't make a full strength squad next year. val holmes will be ahead of oates, surely?

Unless his form lifts markedly next year I can't see Dugan getting within cooee of the NSW team, especially at centre, a position he has hardly shown great form at playing in the last 18 months.

Dugan will be there. His form this year has been fine, so I'm not sure what you're blathering about.
