1. Tedesco 2. TBD 3. Morris 4. Roberts 5.Dugan (maybe) 6. Austin 7. Sezer

I dunno. i just think the majority of the side needs an overhaul

Same. I think it would be a good time to do it too. Queensland are also aging and even if NSW lose this year they still get a slight jump on Queensland in blooding the next generation.

Plus, I think there would be so much more entertainment value in picking some of the new names being mentioned.

I think we need two genuine halves

6 sezer/maloney if he finds form
7 a reynolds

Would like Austin on the bench as a utility/against the tired forwards.

I'm with you there.

I wouldn't mind something along the lines of:
1. Tedesco
2. Mansour/Ferguson
3. J. Morris
4. Roberts/Dugan
5. Trbojevic
6. Maloney/Sezer
7. A. Reynolds

I think it's time for Teddy to take over the reins. Trbojevic looks as though he will be an Origin player for a long time and I think he could handle it. I'd lean towards Roberts over Dugan purely from a look to the future perspective. Adam Reynolds I think is easily our best half and should be there for quite some time. The other two positions not really fussed what way it goes.

I would look at having Austin off the bench as well as Trbojevic (Trbojevic more with an eye to the future but I don't think he's too far behind the other props anyway).

If we pick a team of mostly unknowns, we win the series.

Qld are good, but are ageing. We pick an old side, Qld win. Pick a young side and we wipe them off the park.

Listening to Daley on 360 the other night it sounds like he thinks he's building a side to play a long season, saying he knows the path they're on and where they're headed etc. They're headed ****ing nowhere picking Hokko & Reynolds. QLD are ripe for the picking with no Slater, busted Inglis, Smith & Cronk not looking too great in Club footy and a bunch of options like Napa, Milford suspended.

It seems like if NSW get belt they just write that off as a bad night never mind boys that happens. On the flip-side QLD still carry that thrashing from back in the early 2000's when Fletch did the grenade celebration.

Bryce Cartwright a bolter for NSW? Is in fine form and still young, I would bring him into the team/system sooner rather than later. Gun second rower, pair him up with Wade on the other side. Coydner's been a myth at rep level

I actually think that if Dugan doesn't get picked for Fullback then leave him out all together as I think we have better centres and wingers that have been playing those positions each week.

Do nsw ever pick origin bolters?
No wonder past guys eligible for nsw pledge alliance to qld, more chance of getting a game.
They will change the rule so burgess and Sami can play only for Daley to go the experience route and pick josh Jackson and Nathan merrit.

Seriously , whilst both are great players when on fire .
NSW are crazy if they pick Blake Ferguson and Wade Graham this year .
Both have been mentioned as possibilities.
But has anyone watched Ferguson's defense and Wades sub par games ?
Jeeze , even though I believe Jack Bird isn't ready just yet , he's still miles ahead of Ferguson at centre
