My NSW team:

1. Tedesco
2. To’o
3. T Trbojevic
4. S Crichton
5. Addo-Carr
6. Luai
7. Cleary

13. Yeo
12. Koloamatangi
11. A Crichton
10. Haas
9. Koroisau
8. Paulo

14. Moses
15. Campbell-Gillard
16. Finucane
17. Talakai

18. Martin
19. B Brailey

Cook I guess is my big exclusion. I have never thought his service was particularly good and for me he’s lost a yard of pace. I don’t think he’s the hooker you want if the forward battle is going against you a bit, he doesn’t help you get back into it.

For my money Api’s service is better and he has a bit more guile around the ruck, and then you’ve got a guy who plays club footy with Cleary/Luai every week. But if you wanted Cook at 9 and Api in the 14 I wouldn’t bite your head off.

Hard to think of my 14 because for me that’s Murray’s spot, and Radley hasn’t been playing well enough to get picked for Origin. Moses for me has been the form half in the comp besides Munster and so in he goes.

Queensland:

1. Ponga
2. Coates
3. Gagai
4. Holmes
5. Oates
6. Munster
7. DCE

13. Arrow
12. Kaufusi
11. Fifita
10. Papali’i
9. Grant
8. Fa’asuamaleaui

14. Hunt
15. Fotuaika
16. Carrigan
17. Cotter

18. Tabuai-Fidow
19. Brimson

I view Cotter as the lock - I’d bring him on after about 20-25 mins and have him play the rest of the 80. The versatile Arrow starts there and then comes on to spell Fifita at some point.

I thought about Nanai but I think there’s too many rookie errors in his game atm, probably because he’s a rookie. Won’t be long before he’s a fixture at that level though. Just not this year.

I’d go the same as @HarVeeGee13 except swap Koloamatangi with Martin. I’d like to see Klem recalled but I doubt it’d happen with the club’s current run of form.

An individual should be picked on their own form. Not the form of the club. Klem deserves his origin jersey back. Works his butt off. Freddy has a walking stick shoved so far up his backside he'd **** splinters for a week. Picks his "favourites" even though they are playing like busted arses weekly.

Klemmer should definitely be picked above Jake Trplodderic, a guy who shouldn’t be within cooee of any rep side. I don’t know if all you guys have picked Jurbo because you know Freddy will but, he’s not good, probably the worst contract in the NRL and Manly will never win a comp with him as their most well paid forward. But I wouldn’t pick Klem ahead of anyone in my four man prop rotation of Haas, Paulo, RCG and Finucane at the moment.
