2017 Line-Ups

[Rally Towel]

Walters said on 7 news tonight he's looking at 5 possible debutants this year -

Valentine Holmes
Dylan Napa
Anthony Milford
Korbin Sims
Coen Hess

Really don't think Milford should be anywhere in the frame now.

Holmes certainly a good option on the wing, I think he's probably better suited than Oates with his speed off the mark and reliability under the high ball.

Napa and Sims both in with a shot, big bodies, hard hitters, no fear. Given the liberal nature of Origin refereeing they would probably relish being off the leash.

Hess I think is a cert for future teams, I'm just not sure if this is his year. He's looked every bit the part in his limited time so far but still very early days. If he can keep up the standard over the next few months until Origin, anything is possible I guess.

 

[Super Freak]

Daley said that Wallace and Farah are the only two in contention for the hooker role. He won't be picking a player out of position so any chance of someone like Pearce playing there is gone.

Personally, I would like to see Wallace there.

I think they need to go in a different direction.

 

[Unbreakable]

I'd prefer Wallace if I was NSW. Very good defensively, much better kicking game, arguably better at picking when to have a scoot from dummy half as well.

 

[Sproj]

NSW main problem is showing loyalty to guys who don't deserve it or haven't earned it. In certain positions like the spine, they need to get a jump on Qld.

They may lose this year as a result but who cares? Give this spine a series to gel:

1. Tedesco
6. Maloney
7. Cleary
9. Brailey / Peats (if fit)

Brailey? After a handful of first grade games?

Yep. I really like what I see with him.

Cleary has absolutely not earned a rep jersey, even if it's a shitty blue one.

Sorry to Korbin Sims but I just think it would be hilarious to see him playing in a QLD jersey. After his brother played for Country Origin and was about to play for NSW and his sister was in the NSW women's team.

At least there will be another representative player out of Illawarra.

 

[ethos]

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Chambers
4. O'Neill
5. Gagai
6. Thurston
7. Cronk
8. Myles
9. Smith
10. Napa
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Morgan
15. Papalii
16. Hess
17. Lillyman

 

[Super Freak]

Yep. I really like what I see with him.

Fair enough.

Personally, I think it's far too early to throw him in the Origin arena especially against one of the greatest sides of all time. It has the potential to destroy his confidence and hinder his development. I don't think it's ever ended well for them throwing someone in so early in their career.

 

[Harry Sack]

Way too early for either Cleary or Brailey IMO. You run the risk of ruining them.

Ross was born on the Gold Coast but I'm not sure who he qualifies for. I always thought he was a Queenslander though.

I think he is a cockroach ... he isn't listed as a QLD eligible player on the QRL website

After looking, he qualifies for QLD.

Could have sworn I read something where it said he qualified for NSW.

I think he qualifies for both.

Played junior footy in QLD and NSW.

There's a picture of him on his Twitter in a Queensland shirt with the hashtags #proudqueenslander #goqueensland #queenslander as well. But I do remember hearing something similar to the Luke Keary situation.

 

[Renegade]

It's never too early.

dunno, I reckon i have origin fatigue, from march to july it's an every week convo which intensifies as it gets closer...
