Well Freddy has certainly rolled the dice. There is some raw talent there that can play rocks or diamonds. Usually Origin is about defence and now we have some iffy defenders in Mitchell and Roberts. Can Tommy T handle the numerous crossfield highballs that are inevitable in origin?

I'm glad Nick Catic finally gets rewarded for his efforts though. Thought he was long forgotten by the powers that be.

Anyone worried about how Roberts and Mitchell will handle the Maroons defensively?
Not as worried as the Maroons should be in handling those two defensively.

Personally I love the full throttle attack.

After 10 years of seeing the Blues attacking sets look like:

Tackle 2 Gal hit up
Tackle 3 Bird hit up
Tackle 4 Gal hit up
Tackle 5 Bird hit up

I'm ecstatic to see us pick our two best attacking centres, even if they have defensive weaknesses; which btw won't be exploited by JT Cronk and Smith anymore so I think they'll hold there ground well.

I'd take Dylan Walker or his 'sister' over the nsw backline. Jimmy the jet will have inglis coming at him in his wheelchair all night.

Have you ever seen him in the air? I remember once he almost outlept Edrick Lee. Him under the highball would be the least of my worries.

One of the most athletic backlines I've seen in recent years, almost every outside back have some physical attricbute they're known for:

JAC and Roberts are probably the two fastest players in the game.

Latrell Mitchell is probably the strongest back in the competition.

Tom Trbojevic is the air is almost unmatchable.

James Tedesco's accelaration is right up there.

I got the team I wanted except for one player which is the captain but I doubt a edge forward will cost us the game. Great team, I really hope we stick with this bunch for a while cause we could create something special.

Further evidence you don't have a clue what you're on about. They're both absolute weapons. Doubt JDB will start, they'll be swapped imo
I think Jake is better but both are brilliant players. I hope they start with Trbojevic so he can start belting guys early on and bring on Jack who's got a pretty good offload in him later on.
