Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3517778, member: 2290"] The biggest issue I see is that they build their team around Penrith, and while Penrith are a great NRL team, they have always struggled to overcome adversity within a game. , generally they thrive under front foot footy. Origin doesn’t work like that though, and I don’t think they have enough dog in them to find that other gear when the game gets tough. For me, if you are to build an origin team, the better way to start rather than “who are the successful club combos” is “who are the guys with the most dog in them”. For NSW, there aren’t many of those but the standouts are:: Latrell Mitchell Liam Martin Jack Wighton (beg him) Jake Trbo Nicho Hynes Those are the guys that you pick first and then find the next best to build around. And that’s not necessarily easy. 1. Mitchell 6. Wighton 7. Hynes 10. Jrbo 11. Martin That is a strong core group. Murray is probably in the convo, and Ado-Carr seems to get origin so there’s 2 more spots filled. Haas gives you guaranteed metres and no missed tackles so you slap him in upfront. You need some grubby aggression so a Young, Radley (I’m sure NRL would allow it), TPJ. QLD would give some young fellas a chance like Preston or Sualii. Cook has done it before and is having a good year. 1. Mitchell 2. JAC 3. TTrbo (if fit) 4. Graham 5. Sualii 6. Wighton 7. Hynes 8. Haas 9. Cook 10. Jrbo 11. Martin 12. Frizell 13. Murray 14. Api 15. Paulo 16. TPJ 17. Yeo [/QUOTE]
