Origin 1 teams

[cowboyman]

NSW slowly getting decimated by injuries.

 

[KnightsUnite]

The Fox misses out

Apparently JSaf will be on the bench

Burton is probably the most over rated player in the comp right now

 

[Matty James]

Tupou, Suaalii, Tariq??? The f***?

What more does Campbell Graham have to do?

 

[Hard Yards]

This is how I would configure the side for game 1. I think it’s vital to have Koroisau on the bench to give Cook a break or for injury coverage. Wighton can cover 1,3,6 7 or 13 if needed but he is not a specialist dummy half that we need at Origin level. I reckon Jurbo and Angus Crichton unlucky to miss out over Sims. It’s a pretty good side considering no Turbo, Victor, or Latrell. Blues to win the series 2-1.

I'm pretty surprised Addo-Carr missed out. He's playing in a wooden spoon level team but he's the incumbent Aussie and NSW winger. And he's also just a winger, not like he's directly influencing the Bulldogs form like Dan Saifiti is to us as a prop.

 

[cowboyman]

Some very questionable selections. How Klemmer isn’t picked but a Saifiti is, in mind boggling.

Also I see Cotter picked for queensland and no Fifita @Maxibon

 

[Lefty]

No Fifita is good for the Blues.

Blues, Blues Blues!

 

[cowboyman]

Not really, Fifita being in the side helps the Blues. Unfortunately Slater knew that as well.

 

[Maxibon]

QLD 3-0, how the f u c k is Sims in the team, he has literally played NSW Cup this year

 

[JOJO82]

Qld side looks cracker and all in form....fittler has got the nsw team wrong.

 

[Joshhh]

Crichton on the bench is a weird one too.

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

I can understand picking tupou for height but they’ll just focus their kicking attack at to’o

 

[BETTERTHANLEGO]

Crichton on the bench is a weird one too.

Thought he’d get picked on the wing if they went wighton in centres

 

[cowboyman]

There’s too many selection question marks in this side. Fitler has lost the plot with the 17 and the extra 5 guys.

 

[Matty James]

That Blues team is ridiculous. QLD should be all over them if they’re fair dinkum.

 

[danknights]

Freddie's favourites. Underdog upsets coming.
