Tupou For State of Origin?

[FlamingRooster]

So based on DT, Teddy, Tupou and Collins out, with Crichton unlikely to be picked. How do we line up next week? For me…
1. Manu
2. Smith/ Carr
3. Keighran
4. Momirovski
5. Suaalii
6. walker
7 keary
8. JWH
9. Marschke (yes Hutchison had a good game, but I think Marschke needs to be here with Collins out, so SST can move to prop and Watson can pull an 80 minute game at 13)
10. SST
11. Crichton
12. Butcher
13. Watson
14. Hutchison
15. Baker
16. May
17. Sitili
18. DSF/ Tuku

I hope so, he did nothing wrong to lose his spot when he had it a few years ago.

all of a sudden, we have teddy,Toops,Angus and Collins almost guaranteed by all reports.

gonna be tough in Canberra next week.

Some reports suggest Crichton missed out.

Toups absolutely deserves it. Has been close to our best this year.

[Teddy]

Congrats to Toops he is absolutely the best winger in the game the most complete you can say, he has it all Speed, strength, defence, offence best aerial wingers in the modern game his tough carries and big meter’s arguably his best asset next to no mistakes, if anyone could challenge Brett Morris for best Modern wingers it would be Toops so very happy for our man.

Looking forward to watching our boys carve up.

deserves it. most all round winger in the comp

Suaalii is in the extended 22 man squad.

In form or not, Ado-Carr is an out and out Origin player. An automatic pick surely.

It shows how important it is to be playing in a winning NRL team, especially a back like Addo-Carr. Matt Burton will suffer the same fate as will David Fifita for Qld.

Angus and jturbo miss out, but sims gets in??

Toops is the best winger in the game. Closely followed by To’o. It’s not just about try scoring it’s about working hard from your own end and being able to defend a kick. Nobody does it better than Toops. Eat shit Ad-Car. I’m sick of seeing this bloke get man handled every time he touches the ball. Gone is the day when wingers just needed to be quick.

Exactly. Toops excels at all the things Wingers are traditionally expected to do but his carries out of his own end into the heart of opposition defences are next level, the best in the game.

The importance of this in Origin is compounded ten fold and is no doubt while young Suaalii finds himself on the extended bench. The kid is an absolute rock and its a massive tick of approval of what he has produced thus far at such a young age. Congratulations to them both.

The NSW team has just been announced and Teddy, Tupou and Suaalii has been named in the side. I love Suaalii but he shouldn't be in the NSW squad in my opinion.

[roosterchook]

Congratulations to Toups. He’s my favourite rooster so consistent and deadly with the ball. Also congrats to Teddy. But Suuali deserves it so much and just being selected will give him so much encouragement which he thoroughly deserves and has earned.

Pumped for Toops.

In my honest opinion I still can’t believe he hasn’t played at least 20 origins. He has been one of the best and most consistent wingers since he debuted.

Continuously overlooked. Although I share the sentiments as most on this site and would prefer none of our players to be selected, I’m sure it will mean a lot to Toops on being selected.
For that reason alone I am looking forward to watch him play.

It's smart from Freddy and the league in general, Suaalii is a rugby junior who still isn't 100% sold on league being his career....this is a long term play to lock him into league. Suaalii will basically play the role of Coates and Cobbo during training sessions, good luck To'o.

[roosterchook]

We still have a star lineup. Manu will likely play FB and he’s great. We may lose Collins and I’m not sure who else but we have May to fill in and he’s a dynamo. We’ve lost both our wingers who will replace them?
