GAME 1 - WEDNESDAY 8TH JUNE Accor Stadium, Kick-off 8.10pm.

 

[Falconista]

Game two in Perth- cannot wait!!


This, on paper at least, shapes as a vastly superior series to last year.

Blues might have to select some blokes in position this year, Mitchell and Turbo won’t be on wings.

You’d assume Crighton is one of the centres if nothing else but they have the combination at Penrith in the side. The other centre is harder, I’d go Staggs but there’s other options like Talakai, Lomax, etc

That promo pic makes it look like NSW won 22-20 haha.

This is what is being leaked on the CM site

On form not sure how on earth DCE is there

Who are the other options beyond DCE? Milford?

 

[phantom13]

Yeh, i think thats a real "incumbent" jumper. Plus experience and captaincy. If he wasnt injured Paps probably deserves the 1 for NSW but i reeeeeeeally doubt they bump Teddy for anyone.

I'm a Sea Eagles fan and I have to agree with you. In saying that, He hasn't had a dominant pack going forward with momentum in the nrl, to give him a decent platform.

So if Maroons can get on top there, he might go ok.

 

[phantom13]

Leaked squad was close but not quite.

 

[Slysh]

Fittler is a joke of a coach

Critta off the bench as utility and starting Wighton out of position...

 

[juss]

I'd lean towards NSW winning again, starting with a game 1 home win, but you never rule out QLD in SoO.

Game 1 is so critical as usual, moreso for NSW as if they dropped it at home it's very much advantage QLD.

 

[phantom13]

I rarely think that Qlds team on paper looks better but in this instance just a stack of guys in their preferred position looks really nice on paper.

Cobbo and Coates can be exploited defensively but a good kicking option out of dummy half as well.

I think i like the Maroons.

Blue corner or red corner: Staggs, Tupou face tough call

Blues Coach Brad Fittler is prepared for Kotoni Staggs or Daniel Tupou to miss Origin II if they choose to play for Tonga on the same weekend.

Its interesting for all the talk of Penrith dominating the teams they only have one more than the Cowboys and Broncos (and if you extend it to just starting and bench its still only one more than Brisbane 6-5, wheres as the Cowboys have 3 as reserves at the moment).

3 teams with absolutely no reps, do we know that the record for that would be?

Have to agree with that. But you never know. But I'm never quite convinced about Jack Wighton. Whatever you say about DCE, surely. he's twice the player Wighton is, isn't he?

Newcastle's totals are wrong for QLD, should only be 2 players, not 4.

 

[phantom13]

DCE is such a maligned figure but in reality even his bad is still pretty solid, plus he is a great leader (worth noting hes 7th on the Dally M leaderboard too), he compliments Munsters run game as well. Hes not Nathan Cleary but for a position that QLD has such a lack of players in hes a pretty good option.

Cheers mate, fixed.

I did the whole thing on excel but had to manually input here, was always a risk

You had the total right which was the main thing haha.

Amazing we have 4 reps.

Truthfully Klemmer has been so much better than either of the Safiti twins.
