And then blamed for not getting the winI reckon he gets thrown on in a roming role through the middle... or knowing Freddy, probably at hooker with 10 to go and NSW down by 12.

I’m 50/50 if I think Burton would be betterEh?
Yes, and to my point - please explain how Burton would make more sense over Nicho considering centre is the only position he’d cover better than Nicho.
Yeah B in particular, we have Brisbane after the first SOO.Im happy with him playing 14 in origin for a few reasons…
A. Valuable origin experience, he has earned it
B. Less minutes played means will most likely back up after each game
C. Not being the starting half or 5/8, if NSW fail this year he wont be the headline like the penrith pair will be
Tedesco was always getting picked. He’s the captain and still unbelievably talented and reliable, just been playing in a **** team.Yep, a lot of decisions could blow up on him
Hynes 14
Api not Cook
JAC not Graham
Turbo not Graham
TPJ
All of those are not just ‘oh they didn’t go well’ but will have criticism for selection
Even Teddy over Edwards
Teddy JAC & Turbo played good games just in time

Of all Freddy’s piss poor selections over the years, mainly picking players out of position, Ado-Carr over Graham is not one of them.
Lol, yeah right okay.Yes he was
And if he struggles Freddy would get dragged by media and fans for it
I think TPJ is really the only cooked decision, the others i'm ok with.Yep, a lot of decisions could blow up on him

Well you guys have more faith in the NRL media personalities and Twitter than I do - I reckon if NSW lose they grab any 'should have picked this guy instead' story they can and run with it.I think TPJ is really the only cooked decision, the others i'm ok with.
Well Hynes should be 6 too but can see why they went Luai
All mute now mate. My point though was that a utility 14 covers a few positions. Nicho would really only can / need to cover the halves with all the fullbacks in the team. Burton is big enough to play a bit of lock/2nd row in an emergency too. I couldn't see Nicho doing that (and he bloody better not!)Eh?

That was my point though - you’re not picking the utility to cover back row, there’s another 3 forwards on the bench for that.All mute now mate.

If you’re using the media as the benchmark you’ve already lost the battle.Well you guys have more faith in the NRL media personalities and Twitter than I do - I reckon if NSW lose they grab any 'should have picked this guy instead' story they can and run with it.
I guess I don't care if I am wrong and something happens like Teddy is ineffective and I don't have to hear about why Edwards was the inform player
Would rather everyone he has picked kills it though so we don't have to find out
Maybe it all comes from not being sure that Nicho is going to look good enough from the 14. He's limited in the role he could play and he's not a hard nose defender... Wighton, even Burton, have those qualities. Hopefully Nicho proves me wrong of course.That was my point though - you’re not picking the utility to cover back row, there’s another 3 forwards on the bench for that.
No Bird because he doesn’t play centre but the rest stand.How about this origin side:
Cook
Debellin Yeo Haas
Hosking Butcher
Cleary Hynes
Bird Mitchell
Addo carr To’o
Edwards
