Can't really object to Tedesco forcing Moylan out, his form is too good to leave him out.
Dugan in the centres? He's still unproven there and I'm willing to bet Inglis will just trample over him. Would've been better off leaving Walker there and starting fresh next year.
Also Wade Graham over Bird is an easy selection. Bird isn't the future, Graham is.
Reynolds is too fragile for Origin. He's always getting banged up in games. He goes down injured more often than Matai does.

Yeah I never understand why Dugan is so highly rated as a centre, he is a fullback through and through.
Its pretty funny with Reynolds, for years everyone mocked NSW for picking Pearce and begged Reynolds to play and now they are knocking Reynolds. He hasn't even played that bad at all, I think he kicked for more meters than both the QLD halves in game 1 and laid on a try by taking on the line and had a better performance in Game 2. Best halfback in NSW.

Are you saying you'd have Jack Bird in the centres?

NSW are on the upswing and Tamou, Farrah had best play the games of their lives because I doubt we will ever see them again in the sky blue. Farrahs time is certainly up and Tamou has been a myth at this level. I think NSW will win this one, there just is'nt enough motivation to give100%..the blues will start to win a few series over the coming years

The day I pick Greg Bird to play centre in State of Origin is the day I sleep on the moon. Jack Bird all the way.

I've thought Reynolds would be answer to NSW halfback woes over the last few years but I've changed my mind since then. He's constantly injured and any little knock seems to take him out of the game. He got injured in both Origin games this year. His body just isn't up to it.

Could be worse? You could have 2 Josh Dugans instead of just one?
Also, just to be clear. You'd have Jack Bird in the centres?

Yes I can tell you with 100% certainty if I was the sole selector for NSW I would give Jack Bird a starting role and play him at centre. He has been awesome for Cronulla, he is actually becoming one of my favourite players in the game.
Now if it's alright with you can you kindly please stop asking? It's getting annoying.

Reynolds was always just a "kicking game" player with no other tricks. A few years back I thought even just a kicking game would be an upgrade over Pearce, but it hasn't even been that good either. It's funny that despite being a massive failure for NSW, Pearce is still probably their best halfback.

He got issued a concerning act notice from the MRC.
How many fucking concerning act notices do they want to give him before they actually do something?
Buettner is a fucking joke.
It's just like last year when the MRC kept letting Thurston get away with tripping players.
