Leave us out that circus please.

But unfortunately I think Nicho gets a gig. NSW will lose. Nicho will pile it on himself & go mental midget again.

Unfortunately they can't possibly pick Luai, he is hot garbage.

With Moses injured I'm not sure who else they could pick.

Agree. Burton would be next cab of the rank & he's an ordinary club 5/8. Nicho willl be blues #6 I'd put a nut on it.

That's fine and deserved. I just worry about Nicho's ability to handle it all in conjunction with our season.

I know Best has played SOO but I can't see how he could, or should, be higher up the pecking order now.

Traditionally, they’ve taken previous SOO performances in account, not the be all and end all, but its taken into account, providing their form hasn’t absolutely fallen off a cliff, which it hasn’t for Best. He was very good in Origin last year and I think that gives him an edge over a few names in the mix, including Jesse.

As a QLDer I worry Madge isn't dumb, influenced & will just ignore media & dick heads like Freddy & the 8th. Hynes & Cleary is better than Moses/Cleary IMO.

I really want Nicho to get picked tbh. He's so vocal about wanting it, and I think if he can do it and succeed it could elevate his game further.

I'd be more worried about him being overlooked and trying to then do too much for us, rather than playing in a losing side. The only caveat is it being crappy timing with Moses. Nicho could get picked for game 1 and overlooked for game 2 which wouldn't be ideal.

People keep asking him about it so he keeps saying he wants to play, because of course he does.

Not sure he’s spending much time trying to talk about it

Ahh didn't realise he was injured. How long for?

They'll probably pick Yeo again. Might come down to Cam v Jurbo....I know which way I'd be going.

Murray looking at 6-8 weeks... Can't see them not picking Yeo again now.

IMO Cam on the bench still a decent shout, but not sure they'll carry him and a reserve hooker.

They will, I just don't see him as an Origin player tbh.

Yeah the whole Penrith system hasn't really stood up in Origin. Or maybe cos Freddy can't coach, we haven't really seen if it can or can't.

I think I'd still take Yeo over Cam at 13 and not sure if there's a better option then Yeo regardless.

Two guys being widely criticised on this forum have made the NRL team of the week. I’m not saying they were our best players but they are obviously doing ok in most people’s minds.

Things could change but hearing Madge on an interview he acknowledged that the chopping and changing in NSW has been an issue and he is looking at picking a team for the series

I’m not saying it’s wrong to have included them.

Ben Hunt also got Dally M votes
