Boring and meandering as fuck? Who gives a shit, he gets the job done. Was one of NSW's best last year, absolutely immense in getting their sets started and was taking like 24 odd carries a game. Good under a high ball too which you need when coming up against Coates.

wait what where? Teddy's defence is lets him down in the 'greatest fullback of all time' discussion for mine, don't get me wrong he's good, but he has a few too many Darius Boyd-like attempts in him to be considered great at it, Slater shits all-over him defensively every day of the week and twice on Sunday, you could put together defensive highlight reels of Billy more amazing than the vast majority of fullbacks attacking highlight reels.

Probably should've meandered his way to less carries or something then. Got our asses kicked by some reserve grade team

Darius Boyd scored a bunch of tries on the wing, so I don't really give a shit if it's Tupou or To'o

Do you know what a fullback's job is defensively? The main role is to organise the numbers in the defensive line, and Teddy is immense at doing that. They've been one of the best defensive side for years....

How many origin players do you tend to hold as opposed to trading them out and back in again?

i mean that's part of it, but a fullback's organizing capabilities don't mean shit if the blokes he's instructing can't tackle to save themselves, the Roosters unit has been solid defensively because they've been built that way, and Teddy's part of it, but to lay the Roosters defensive record squarely on his shoulders is a stretch

It kinda depends on person & how risky they are

I did none in 2019 but probably should have done Cook

Ideally the Origin players you want to trade are those they may see rest/lower mins through Origin period (usually Teddy and maybe Crichton this year)

I think guys like Cleary, Fifita would unlikely get a rest and would still be holds

Can I just say when will NSW realise just pick one fullback in your team, 2 centres (who are centres / not fullbacks playing centre or 5.8ths playing centre), and believe it or not how about picking two wingers who are genuine wingers. Hands down you do this and you win Origin almost every time. Also is Tedesco a bit overrated. It's easy to be called the best player in the game when you play for elite teams ALL the time like the Rooster / NSW / Australia. Little bit harder to be amazing all the time when you loose your play makers + hooker. I actually rate Turbo and Ponga above him. Can you image if Ponga or Turbo was playing in a Melbourne or Roosters team over the last 4 years.

Anyway my NSW backline.

Cleary / Luai
Lomax / Staggs (if fit)
To'o / Addo Carr or Topou
Turbo

Luai played for Junior Kiwis. Ineligible for Origin.
