NSW Origin team [Game 1, 2018] - General discussion

[The Who]

I hear, third hand, that this will be the team (from a source who claims to have inside knowledge). It certainly is not the team I'd select: Apparently only three players from the 2017 team will be retained: Cordner, Jake Turbo and Frizell. My source couldn't remember the other second rower or second winger.
1. Tom Turbo
2. Ado Carr
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Aitkin or James Roberts
6. Luke Keary
7. Mitchell Moses
Front row: Campbell Gillard and ? (but not Klemmer)
Hooker: Damien Cook
2nd row: Cordner & Frizel
Lock: Jake

We'll see if this is accurate. No Teddy, Ferguson, Cleary, Maloney, Jackson, Klemmer . . .Seems really way out to me, but Fitler may be relying on form rather than reputation.

I don't know how this became a MVP topic. I must have pushed the wrong button.

If he is looking at form over reputation it would be odd to pick Turbo and Moses. Seems to me he is believing the hype that HE has helped create around certain players - just like most of his predecessors did.

 

[pjayz]

I think Fitler will choose:
1. Tom T
2. Addo Carr
3. Mitchell
4. Aitken
5. Cotric
6. Keary
7. M Moses (Cleary missing too many games)
8. Vaughan
9. Cook
10. Woods
11. Frizell
12. Cordner (I’d rather Crichton)
13. Jake T
14. Peachy
15. Crichton
16. DeBelin
17. Gillard

ge to the rescue!!!

- You can actually edit it yourself btw

 

[manlywarringah]

Maloney will be one of the halves for sure and Cleary just needs to get through his 2 games alright to be chosen.

Tedesco will be fullback and Tom maybe wing....

I'd be shocked if Moses is anywhere near this team!

 

[BK13]

yeh to be honest I could believe this team with Fittler. He is a bit left of centre and could completely change the team and leave very few from prior years.

 

[rmd]

1. Tedesco
2. Addo Carr
3. Mitchell
4. Turbo
5. Cotric
6. Maloney
7. Cleary
8. Vaughan
9. Cook
10. Klemmer
11. Frizell
12. Cordner
13. Jake T
14. Peachy
15. Chricton
16. DeBellin
17. Gillard

 

[The Indian]

Maloney is a human speedbump makes Blake Green look like Terry Randall - but I suspect he will make the team regardless. In attack is he sharp.

Tedesco will get picked for sure for mine and they'll slot Tom on wing or centre or wherever they can - Personally I hope the part about Cotric is right cause I think he's made for Origin. Think Peachy is your bench man good call.

I would do this also, there just seems to be a lot of noise to the contrary.

My team would be:

1. Tedesco
2. Addo Carr
3. Mitchell
4. Tom T
5. Cotric
6. Maloney
7. Cleary
8. Vaughan
9. Cook
10. Sims
11. Frizell
12. Crichton
13. Jake T

Don't know how you pick simms over gillard. Simms is a second rower for the dragons and gillard is an Australian prop. Currently one of the form front rowers in the comp. Also think cordner as the current NSW captain prob deserves a spot. Other than that (simms out gillard front row, crichton to the bench and cordner second row) i agree with the rest

 

[Turbo4Life]

Most Predictable Fittler backline for origin 1:

1. Tedesco
2. Fergo
3. Mitchell
4. Aubusson
5. D Tupou
6. Keary
7. Other Rorters player that's from NSW

all Rorters players, fittler's biased
P.S this ain't my backline for SOO 1

 

[Chip and Chase]

Moses and Keary ??? As if.

Unless Freddy has just woken up on that median strip in Glebe point road again, he’s not picking those two in the halves.

 

[Nice Beaver]

If Mitchell Moses gets picked I will not watch the game.

That f*cking germ should not be allowed to buy a ticket to watch, let alone represent the state!

Has to be a gee up. Has to be.

Sims has played front row on a number of occasions in the past and is in form. Gillard is not much of a metre eater (the guy averages a lousy 90mtrs) but could provide impact off the bench. Sims connection with the other Dragons forwards could prove beneficial (hunting as a pack etc).

 

[Holmsey]

Cordner, Tedesco, Keary, Ferguson and Mitchell will play as they are roosters and its pretty clear he is going to pick moses.

 

[Kevinward777]

1. Tedesco
2. Addo Carr

11. Frizell
12. Cordner

14. Peachy
15. Chricton

17. Gillard

That’s a great looking side right there... wish you were picking the team.

Also a very nice side but RCG should be there somewhere.
