Who are your back 5? It's a logjam there. Does Captain Jurbo go?

I would replace Jurbo with Terral May. Will be plenty of other contenders for Captain but Jurbo not really SOO standard anymore.

It's a close battle between Teddy and Edwards for fullback. Too hard to pick. Lomax expected back this week.

Maybe?

Great team. They are not allowed to have Egan however, as he is needed by the mighty One NZ Warriors.

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Only fitting Terrell May plays and upholds Paul Gallens legacy of extreme stat padding in a losing side.

18. Turbo or Matt Burton
19. Terrell May
20. Wayde Egan

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

I don’t see Laurie carrying both Terrell and Leniu on the bench. It’s one or the other

I don't think he is at Gallens level of padding and lets face it not many are. Terrell has played nearly an average of 73 minutes per game so he is always going to have high stats.

 

[Inruin]

Edwards
Kiraz
Chrichton
Latrell
Turbo
Luai
Moses
Haas
Robson
May
Angus
Martin
Yeo

Watson
Barnett
Spencer
Olakau’atu

But it's Daley coaching so expect some braindead selections from him and something stupid like two backs on the bench

Luai unlucky to miss out but combining Cleary and Moses kicking game will give QLD problems.
Can’t trust Turbos body anymore.

Having two 7's in Moses and Cleary isn't going to be optimal IMO. Both play right side. You have one or the other.

 

[tyrael]

Burton or Luai at 6?

 

[3rdstriker]

As long as Nsw win and Egan gets a shot im not too worried about the team.
Imo Wade's really one of the form hookers in the comp he deserves a shot, even the bench.

I think they can make it work, having 2 legit kicking options will be a benefit.
The way Moses stepped up last year he deserves a chance.

Moses and Luai had a good partnership I thought last year. Both have kicking games. Luai plays predominantly left side as well. A better compliment IMO. But no doubt Daley will probably go for Cleary and Moses

You would have to have the biggest set of bullocks to leave Cleary out the team.
Such a huge call.
If Daley went with the incumbents I wouldn’t be totally against it but if we lost he would be ridiculed to high heaven.

Cleary hasn't been great in Origin. Wouldn't be a huge call IMO. That's the problem Daley will have in that he will pick a bunch of good players but not much plan. Madge showed the way but will Laurie follow that lead or try something different?

I was nervous when Daley was announced because he hasn’t coached for a long time.
But when I heard Bellamy would be involved that let me know that Laurie’s at least thought about this and got a current coach to help him.
If Cleary isn’t selected it would be the biggest story in league, I agree he hasn’t owned Origin but I don’t see any coach in the game not selecting him if fit.
