Referring to club form.Last year was his first series so I'm not sure how you form that pattern of it being typical.

Also the entire Blues team disappeared in the final 120 minutes of last years series.
Tom Turbo is a far less complete fullback on both sides of the ball at this stage of his career.
So NSW would be mad to dump Teddy.
If they win it'll be by carving Qld open up the middle and no one does that better than Teddy.
I'd pick Turbo at right centre with Latrell at left centre.Tedesco also played in game 3 2016 and did very well. He has torn the Maroons apart in 2 1/2 of his Origin games. He will be the fullback. Tommy turbo would have a big chance of getting the wing spot i would think.
Yeah it was Grahams fault, not that dog shit halfback you were sucking off for all those years right? Do you even watch footy or do I need to show you the highlights of your former superstar halfback?Lol Graham, along with Hayne, was responsible for NSW losing last year.
That inexplicable strip on Napa with 5min to go in Game 2 was criminal.
Cordner will be the first player picked and rightly so to all who know anything about footy.
He was gonna be there anywaysTommy Trobevic would be so close to an Origin debut now with Mansour out with a broken jaw
Are you trolling with Jackson or??I'd pick Turbo at right centre with Latrell at left centre.
Maybe bold going with two rookies but meh, everyone is a rookie at some point.
They'd form a big, mobile and devastating centre pairing.
If we lose picking the likes of these two and Addo Carr I can live with that. Same with Cleary or Keary in the halves.
What I couldn't deal with is losing again with the likes of Fergo, Dugan and Pearce.
My team would be:
1. Tedesco
2. Mansour
3. Mitchell
4. Trbojevic
5. Addo Carr
6. Keary
7. Maloney (if Cleary injured)
8. Campbell-Gillard
9. Koroisau
10. Klemmer
11. Cordner (c)
12. Jackson
13. Trbojevic
14. Vaughan
15. De Belin
16. Frizzell
17. Cook
When every other half anyone has mentioned is injured.....except Piss and MosesBrooks with another stellar motm performance. I think he may even top the Dally ms atm
When is he in consideration?

Brooks is finally looking ok. For the Tigers sake you should hope hes not picked after 6 good games in the last few yearsApart from Maloney, Green and Keary to some extent who is really standing out?
(I’m assuming Cleary will be unfit btw)

Cleary's aiming for round 10, that would be 7 weeks from the injury occurring. That would give him 3 games before the side is announced but maybe round 11 is more realistic.There’s a pretty good chance Cleary will return before origin 1. It’s just if that’s enough to get him selected.
I reckon it was the captain for not telling his players to belt Thurston at every opportunity while he was nursing an injured shoulder in game 2.Lol Graham, along with Hayne, was responsible for NSW losing last year.
Basically what I'm thinking. Maloney should be a certain but who partners him is the question - Cleary and Brooks are of the question because of the reasons you stated which leaves Keary, Green, Moylan, Moses, Walker and maybe Bird. Out of the list, Keary or Green look like the logical pick but Bird could be a dark horse considering he's played with Maloney before.maloney should be the only guy guarenteed a spot, whether its 6 or 7 doesnt matter as he plays the same either way. cleary would be the obvious match but i wouldnt throw him in if he's only played a game or two back
brooks is the other form half but id want him to do this for another 12 months before being seriously considered.

Surely they can't pick a bloke who see himself as a Queenslander?keary looks good and would suit origin, concern for him is that he and maloney are both very similar players. both are your running/support type 5/8s. although id be loathe to pick him pearce may be the best option for maloney. moses and moylan are both aids right now. i think its pretty clear moses was the one they were going to push for but his and parras (lack of) form has put that to bed.
