Wow, the first time I seeing a new NSW team 😳. Let's go Blues❤!!!

[@alexsolon9891]

Madge has finally done what needed to be done. Picked players on form and in position. Enough said. Its up to them to cement their reputations made at club level in those positions and prove that they can bring it to the Origin Stage. The coach doesn't need the added headache during origin week coming up with a game plan to suit players playing out of position. Neither does the player have to adjust to playing out of position in a week. Teddy was a major reason why we had so many fullbacks and wannabe fullbacks lining up out of place.

[@reveuledits]

So so happy that edwards got chosen he will do us good

[@Monkeybizzbne]

Not sure if Nicho is up for it since he went missing in the time he played against the panthers . The man is not good under pressure . Hopefully he proves me wrong

[@qwickvids1140]

Luai would go right side and Keary left side then - maybe

[@beelohia2311]

Api Korasau the only miss for me. I reckon he brings more attacking threat to the side. It's scary to think NSW can put up a team when they are missing their key generational talents to injury and club form. Latrel, Cleary and Turbo.

& that will also be NSW excuse when they lose. Lets not forget queensland are missing 3 absolute guns Tino Flegler & Munster. Not a heck of alot of diffrence in my eyes In a big game History has showen Munster out plays cleary, cleary has yet to perform at a origin or internation level. Flegler and Tino do just as much damage up front as what turbo and latrell would do out back.
