Wighton v The Duggan

[legend]

Likely NSW fullback will come down to the form of one of these two. Hacksaw Josh Duggan could go back to centre like last year to accommodate the games best fullback in Wighton.

Needs a poll I think.

You might get a few bites, mainly from Penrith fans

 

[Twatface Magee]

We're talking NSW Residents v QLD Residents Origin right?

Pretty sure Moylan is the front runner but Daley does love the Dugan...

 

[cleary89]

I reckon Mitch Brown might get a shot.

 

[Rosetta]

Daley will pick Doogs even if Hopoate, Tabasco, Moylan, Wighton and Gordon are all in better form at the time.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Pretty sure Moylan is the front runner but Daley does love the Dugan...

He loves Wighton even more.

Lol @ Wighton for NSW... Morris is a better FB option than him.

Realistically there are 3 contenders for the two spots in the backline..
Fullback - Dugan or Moylan
Right Centre - Dugan or Dylan Walker.

There is only 1 position up for grabs which is fullback. Josh Morris will be the right centre.

Would prefer Stewart to either of them.

If Wighton continues to impress he wouldn't be a horrible choice. But I can't see Daley voluntarily selecting someone without experience. Especially if one of the guys he has picked previously is available.

If Dugan is available, he is automatically picked IMO.

1. Dugan
2. B. Morris
3. Jennings
4. J. Morris
5. Hopoate / Tupou / McManus / Ferguson

Can't even see Josh Mansour getting picked. He chose McManus over him in a dead rubber match last year, so his Origin career is unlikely to ever exist IMO.

Stop it. Just stop it please.

TheDugan >>>>>>>> every other pretender to the throne of TheDugan. Even Hayne ran away in the end.

 

[gregstar]

was wighton the dude who pulled off that try saver in the last minute?

that was an absolute ball-tearer of a tackle - one of the best.

 

[legend]

Yep. That was him.

 

[God-King Dean]

This should be moved to the Troll Cave.

The mere suggestion of anyone else than His Duganess being fullback, is outrageous, & libellous

I swear, if it was about any other teams player, it would have been moved by now....

 

[legend]

Why? Duggan played in the centres last year and could still earn a spot there this year although I wouldn't be averse to Wighton playing in the centres for NSW. Wighton is a superb defender and showed a clean pair of heels last night. I'd say he's considerably faster than the Duggan and a slightly better defender.

 

[betcats]

What about Reece Robinson?

 

[legend]

Oh, and a much better fighter...

What about Reece Robinson?

What about him? :?
