OT - Proposed NSW Origin Team

[R-15-3]

Hynes needs 5kg of muscle to strengthen up his defence and make him more likely of breaking through with all his hit ups.

 

[Craigshark]

Hynes is fine. Yes his defence needs to improve but apart from that our forward pack has been absolutely belted in the games he hasn’t performed to what we’ve become expected of him to. Think he gets the bench spot and deservedly so.

 

[Don Tweddle]

Nicho’s form for me sums up our season. Some brilliant moments, some stretches of being well off the pace. I don’t think we need to be building a new trophy cabinet yet but overall fairly comfortable with where he/the team are at.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Why is Jacob Saifiti in the squad, he's ordinary.

Fittler logic. Twin is out. Same DNA so he must be just as good.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Joseph Sualli…. Give me a break.

Absolute joke hey. Freddy is trying to fill his Roosters quota

 

[blue bags]

I would think Adam Reynolds would be next man up for the 7

Cleary. Renolds injured. Mitch mosses Next. What happens if he gets injured?

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Reynolds is far better than Moses

Not sure of details and I’m sure he won’t be paid but if this isn’t a deal with politis and the contract to get him to roosters I’m not here.

For experience apparently, there are other more deserving players who have played more than 12 games who could benefit from the “experience”…. Like Talakai for example.

 

[Special K]

Really happy for Nicho to make the squad. I hope he gets a run. Playing in big games for the blues only sets him up for success with us down the line.

Agree. If he plays, he will have to up his physicality in defence. This will be beneficial for the Sharks in the back end of the season.

It also shows the comp that you can come to the Sharks and play SOO.

Then Why wasn't Talakai picked?

 

[R-15-3]

Sounds like Nicho will be 18th man

 

[Weaponhead]

Then Why wasn't Talakai picked?

For the same reason every other player not picked in the squad. Other players seen to be going better.

The point is a new player to the system has been picked. That is a good thing. By contrast, JAC has gone to the Dogs and is not picked.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Well yeah I cant see what JAC did wrong to not be picked . Others going better in better team? I dont think hes gone bad at all especially when he gets the ball! I understand combinations , but dont understand the concept of combinations between Penrith, Rooters , and Boncos players, seeming to make a big difference.

 

[Special K]

Wighton at centre is ridiculous. How can we forget how historically bad he was there vs the worst qld team ever and cost us the series with dipshit gutho

 

[roboshark]

I care little about SOO

 

[shadowboxer]

I care little about SOO

Couldn’t agree more - amazed it is still so popular.
Just another game built on a rich history of solid rivalry and brutal actions, now a watered down version of something is more about the coaches and their employers.

 

[Chimp]

I’m pleased Nicho gets to go into camp, but not actually get game time…. Gets all the benefit of the experience, but is back on deck fresh as a daisy. Happy to leave it that way all series - not that we have anyone playing anywhere near what should be Origin standard.
