Soo 2019

The media are reporting that apparently Gus said to Freddy last year that if he picked Cleary that he would have to stick with him for 3 years.
I have never heard anything so ridiculous, it’s a complete mockery of representive football. If the incumbent is hopelessly out of form he shouldn’t be picked.
If they pick Cleary I will be barracking for Qld.

I can't see Cleary getting picked ahead of Reynolds.
Reynolds is the form half back & if rep footy is about picking the form player for a position then he is a walk up start, he is heaps better than Cleary.

Maybe, but Freddy won with Cleary last year. I reckon the next 2 weeks of footy are crucial for who gets picked as half.

[The Skeez]

Listening to Gus Gould speak, he said they need a backup hooker in the bench, so that brings Radley into consideration

[The Corner Post]

I like the idea of Fergo at right wing. He'll make his usual one blunder for the game, which will be fine provided he gets our sets started well like he did at the end of last season. He would need to be paired with a defensive centre as Fergo can be found out in defence at times. He would have played beside Aubo quite a few times last season, they may be the starting right edge??

[Hawkeye]

Agree Aubbo deserves a go, but don't think he'll get that fairytale call up.

I think Freddy will go with this …..

Teddy
Fox
Latrell

Josh Morris ( I think Freddy will go for solid player to plug this spot)

Fergo

Keary
Reynolds
Jake Trob
Cordner
Frizzel
Vaughan
Cook

Lodge

subs Crichton, Murray, Klemmer, TPJ

[Tommy Smith]

With Munster attacking on the left and Ponga scheming out the back down his favoured left side as well, Freddy would want to be sure he has a strong defender out there at right centre.

Aubo can definitely be that man so i wouldn't be surprised if he lines up at right centre either.

[Mickie Lane]

I dont think Maloney will make it unless Keary & Cody Walker are injured. Looks like Latrell will be goal kicker if he is fit.
I got a feeling Freddy will pick Aubo because he can nearly play every position & he has been playing good footy.

Jack Wighton isn't a winger though is he, he's played in the centres for the last 5 years.

I thought he was the criminal fullback who moved to five-eight.

[Rooster_6]

You can throw a fullback on the wing. But you can’t just throw a winger into centre or fullback.

[Thirteen]

If he's the best option does it really matter what position he is playing at club level?

Billy Slater, Greg Inglis and Darius Boyd all fit into a Qld side despite playing fullback at club level.

You can throw a fullback on the wing. But you can’t just throw a winger into centre or fullback.

[Rooster_6]

And Birds weakness at the moment is that he’s nowhere to what he was when he was at Cronulla.

I agree, I think it's going to come down to pick the best of a pretty ordinary bunch.

That may just be Jack Wighton.

[roosters75]

Id put Toups next to Lattrell after tonight

[ROC181]

That's not saying much though, Leilua still has huge defensive deficiencies that's my biggest concern in picking him.
