Cooper, Hess, Wallace and Milford are all fit are they not?
Slater and GI retired.
Could still pick Val Holmes from overseas in a different sport right? Show some loyalty Qld

Dip wrote:JMoz selection makes sense if you consider a fully fit TTurbo comes straight back into the team, and probably in that position. If you "reward" an up an comer with a debut, then it's a bit of a kick in the guts if they do nothing wrong and Turbo comes back. JMoz is probably happy to get one more game (maybe more), and being a veteran Fittler can be honest with him about keeping the seat warm and also use it as motivation - "you've been given the chance to have one more go and it will likely be your last game/series. Don't leave anything out there".
Pretty mobile pack and bench. Hopefully the refs put the whistle away and we get to lie all over them in the ruck with bigger forwards. Would also nullify Cook from dummy half a fair bit too.

You can look at it the other way - tell them what the deal is before the game - you have one game (maybe 2) to impress for the future. go show us what you can do. you also give them some pretty good experience and keep them around the squad all camp.
I dont hate that Jmoz is there, you know what you will get and he wont let the side down at all.

JMoz is someone you pick when you want to contain his opposition number and gameplan someone like GI out of the game. Who are the Blues worried about? It's a boring, conservative pick.

is morgan on the left ?
that left side could be Munster-Morgan-oates and ponga seems to more damage on the left then the right for newy too, while there is 1 on 1 match for jmoz, thats still going to be a really good attacking edge for QLD and i think it makes sense to have an jmoz in there, especially when the options arn't that fantastic.
considering his form to start the year, i think BJ actually might have got his chance this time around if he stayed healthy
also agree with dip, when Ttrbo returns, he likely comes right in for jmoz unless one of the others gets injured

Hit the nail on the head RYNO and it goes back to the dark old days (for NSW) of negative selections, even when better attacking players were available and playing well.
Realistically, with that team on paper, NSW should win by at least 30.....but it's these glimpses of mental weakness which give me hope as a QLDer
Picking Jmoz is a glimpse of mental weakness? Amazing. Lol fuck me you cunts draw long bows to try and make yourselves feel better.Oz Sport Mad wrote:

I suppose Cooper getting DROPPED is just a way of QLD showing loyalty that us simple folk from NSW wouldnt ever understand hey??

Youre joking right? QLD still have way way better halves the NSW. I think the game comes down to the amount of points in the halves and backline and that goes to QLD. NSW again will rely heavily on the forward pack and that is never a good strategy when playing in QLD
lol wow... just wowOz Sport Mad wrote:
Of course it is you battling simpleton.
For umpteen years you've picked your team primarily based off defending our backline....and we still found a way through.
Then finally, you start picking the team with the mindset of scoring more points than QLD and after just one series win, panic sets in and you go back to the old negative approach of trying to shut down our players.

he is CLEARLY there to chair sit for TTrbo for 1 game. He is in form, and he has never let the team down. He has always been one of NSW best when he plays.
Couple that with all the injuries and out of form players, he is the out and out clear and right option to, again, chair-sit for one game.
I wouldn't have hated if we went with a Ramien, Wighton or Xerri etc, but Freddy has clearly just gone for experience for 1 game rather than risk a rookie.
Picking a tried and true veteran is a sign of mental weakness??? You could have hit someone with the arrow from about 3km away with that long bow you drew, but oh thats right, ur a fucking ididot and its utter sheer nonsense
On a more realistic note, not naming Player 21 is clearly a sign of mental weakness.
The coach coming out and declaring its war - is clearly a sign of mental weakness.
Blaming last years loss on the preparation they had is clearly a sign of mental weakness.

If QLD arent the fav at home in game 1 - fuck me... the public are fucking idiots
