Thought I'd start this thread so we could get the chat out of Nu's thread.

Which I think is a rort! I honestly don't rate Moylan at all.

Nah, Moylans a talented guy IMO but if you are looking for a bench utility option between them you'd take Bird over Moylan (no sharks goggles on either) as Bird would give the squad greater flexability within a game if injuries occurred etc.

I rate Moylan very highly but I'd only play him at fullback in Origin atm which is Teddy's spot so I wouldn't have him in the side.

No way to bj. Too many **** ups in his game.

I reckon jennings will be there 1 way or another. And i think daley will go with walker.

I reckon peach would have to be close to gettin a bench spot but ****ing tin tin matt moylan probsbly gets it.

If daley goes on stardom. He needs to be sacked

The game is to be one in the forwards for NSW. Wingers and full back need to work hard early in the set to make the qld forwards tired and that pack can monster the queensland pack

Forgot klemmer. **** off woods.

People are seriously picking Hayne? Forget the fact he thinks he's still part of an NFL special plays team and in it for 2min stints every hour, will he even be healthy?

As I said in the Nu thread I think Daley will go:

1. Teddy
2. Ferg
3. Dugan
4. J Moz
5. B Moz
6. Moylan
7. Pearce

I think Woods, Cordner, Frizzel, Jackson are penned in. Would say Fifita will be there, probably Graham, Farah and maybe Bird or longshot Peachey as a utility.

QLD depends on Billy. Obviously no GI for the first time in a long time so best time to be picked right centre for NSW. I'll back a champion and say Slater will regain his maroon #1. That'd push Darius to wing and I'd assume they'd stick with Gagai on the other side so we might be lucky and have Val through Origin.

Daley would be mad not to include Peach.
He has been killing it ATM and can play any position besides prop.
He'd be in my side for sure.

I'd definitely have bird over Moylan on the bench (if it came down to that). Bird has an extra gear he can go to when needed. He clearly has a chip on his shoulder and that sort of stuff can be really beneficial to a side. Prob was a bit harsh saying I don't rate Moylan but there is deff players I would have in front of him in whatever position he could fill

Forgot Mansour's injury, not sure on the other wing really what about Addo-Carr hasn't played much but he looks alright it would be good to throw someone new in give them a shot.

Addi Carr that's outside the box thinking, rekon in origin were defence is a must he would make debut worse than Nathan merrit.

If Hayne is fit, he'll be named.

The fact that he's hardly set the world on fire since his return means he's no chance for fullback.

But Daley would be mad not to squeeze him in on the wing - where he has actually played some of his best origin footy.

On form since his comeback I wouldn't pick Hayne in the Titans 13 let alone a rep side. He is garbage. NSW should pick guys who are actually playing decent footy.
