Freddie is desperate because he knows he loses the job if this years series is lost. I reckon it will be Reynolds and Walker. But if Moses plays well today he’s a chance.
No chance !
Freddie could not win game one with the best NSW halfback and the panther premiership winning half combination
Now You Blues Dudes think he can win with the tried and failed Walker , Reynolds and Moses ?

Keep dreaming Blues Dudes .

We really need to hope Moses gets selected & Brown is still stood down. No idea who they have as backups for these 2.
Daejarn Asi is filling in for Brown today definitely has some skill but is a bit erratic and playing his first game this year. Jordan Rankin is playing 7 for Parras NSW Cup side.

His attack is great, but Reynolds defence on Saturday was exposed a number of times in one on one situations. And that was against the Knights, which is hardly what the Maroons will throw at him.

Hynes was too ordinary yesterday to pick him as starting #7, which as you say leaves Moses. There really isn't anyone else unless they do the unthinkably dumb and pick someone out of position like Matt Burton.
NSW Blues team selections and " the unthinkably dumb" go hand in hand.

Yup, Qld will pick the best player they have for a specific position;

NSW will pick a collection of good players and throw 'some of them' in position and hope the others can play 'where-ever'.

I have fears of Reynolds getting ragdolled and not holding up for the full 80min. Mosses is looking more probable than improbable now as Freddy and co think out team selections.

How good does the Arthur signing look now with Brown and now Moses likely out next week. Not only do we have an adequate replacement at halfback next week but Parra will have to field two new faces in their halves.

Honestly we should be winning this one and the only real concern for us will be how Weekes does. Ideally he’d play out the season at fullback for Blacktown but with Garrick in the centres he’s our only real option there. He’s got the talent but he really needs to involve himself more because he was invisible in the Titans and Knights games

Law of averages says he's due for a big game this Saturday.
