Team with origin players out

[The Lip]

Assuming we loose Teddy, Gus, Watson, Leniu and Collins

I’ll have a crack


1 Marky Mark

2 Toups

3 Billy Smith

4 R Toia

5 Dom Young

6 Sandon

7 Hugo

8 Buther Nat

9 ZDC

10 Nafahu

11 E Butcher

12 Wong

13 Rads




14 Elliot

15 Foketi

16 Losalu

17 Steep

very skinny in the front row.

We play Sharks, who probably lose nobody. Knights probably Best,Ponga and Siafiti and Tigers probably just Luai and maybe Api and T May

leniu won't play origin , Lindsay might not either

[The Lip]

leniu won't play origin , Lindsay might not either

They will pick Lindsay if fit and Leniu imo will 100% be picked on the bench.

It’s going to be a massive danger period to our season. If Teddy gets overlooked then the backline is at least unchanged but the forwards will be very skinny and we have no replacement that can do what Watto brings.

[BraveTheWorld]

Probably in the minority here, but I'd rather just bring Ethan King in for a straight swap for Teddy, if he's picked. I wouldn't trust Marky at fullback this early on even though I'm sure he has trained for it. Sounds harsh but I'd also like to keep Young out of the side if possible.

For what it's worth, I expect we'll be down Watson, Leniu, Crichton and Collins.

Sharks will be extremely hard to beat if we're down all those players and will without Walker and Brandon. Tigers and Knights still winnable, but difficult.

I dont know if Elliot will be on the bench, I cant see it. I can see Robbo giving Moriarty a run though.
If the the team you have named is the team I think Rads will go to the backrow & Foketi will play lock & Egan Butcher will come off the bench as a middle.

I don’t think teddy will be picked, Daley was a big advocate last year on nsw moving on from Teddy, Angus probably gets picked because there will be no cam Murray this year and don’t think McInnes will be picked.

Daley is in the position where he doesn’t need to show loyalty as he wasn’t coach last year. Will be interesting who he drops for Cleary, Moses or Luai?

[BTRD]

Boycott Origin.

Come from nowhere Roosters and win the comp.

Teddy is playing better footy then Edwards.
Edwards is a top player too though.

Was were carrying on a treat about Edwards this evening. He's probably done enough to keep his spot.

Frankly I don't care - I want Teddy to focus on Easts these days.

Watson, Gus and Spencer are definitely lost to Origin.
NSW have moved on from Teddy if Edwards is fit.
Collins might get a call up for game 2 , if NSW does a number on the cane toads in game 1.

This is most likely accurate
despite Gus and Spencer being solid should have done enough to hold their spot
Teddy is way ahead of Edwards but he may still get the first crack
collins is back at SOO time so more likely game 2 of they are desperate

Origin is of no interest to me - what interested me this weekend was the definition of the NRL Magic Round promo in Brisbane.
All QLD teams defeated and also the vermin losing alongwith a ex Qld cop failed quest to be prime minister and losing his electoral seat. A Magic Round indeed.

[Superdag]

Watson, Gus and maybe Spencer for NSW Teddy has been the stand out full back over the past 9 rounds but I hope they don't pick him for the roosters sake, the club needs him more then NSW, Collins not enough game time Qld Frontrow Tino and pat Carrigan
