Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3402540, member: 9853"] The temptation with rep teams is to pick all the "best players." But what really works, with limited training time, is picking the "best combinations." Players who already know each others games. A lot of QLD's success over the years has been down to building a core of players who either play together at club level, or have combined in rep teams over the years. NSW, on the other hand, have traditionally chopped and changed at whim. They broke that tradition when they went with the Penrith combo last year rather than mix and match. And then when Cleary was injured, they reverted in game three, which they lost. If NSW had gone in with an all Souths spine, they probably would've won. That's why sticking with incumbents has merit. Even if their recent form might not demand it. Gagai gets it. Billy will pick Coates. [/QUOTE]
