I’m close, I‘d like to see Api start and Cook go to 14 (probably won’t happen but his form would be better than Cooks and he‘d get to link with his club mates, there’s enough of them, but we definitely need to play both) and I’d go Radley for Talakai, hard without game time, but Victors made for origin, bit like Wighton and we need that now his gone and if Radley plays then maybe another big man on the bench for Martin! Could be why they have added McLean.

I’m close,

Yes, maybe Fittler will go with another big prop. I like this squad - similar balance as teams for games one & two last year - without Latrell & Turbo, of course. Still would like to see the x-factor Fox in the team.

As well as Jake, it appears A. Crichton, Gutho & Talakai will be added to the squad (would be good if JAC is also recalled)

Fittler makes seven changes to Blues squad in ruthless Origin overhaul

Parramatta duo Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson, as well as Kotoni Staggs and Tariq Sims, have all been dropped. There are seven new faces.

Gutho? Hahaha come on at least give Addo-Carr his spot back before that douchebag

Love the competent journalism at News Limited🙂

"Other reported moves include the return of Roosters forward Angus Crichton and Souths forward Jake Trbojevic, while Eels duo Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson appear set to miss out."

Jake doing a Gifty and going to Souths while his brother stays on as fullback ?
Sorry bad bad joke..never!!!

Well we know all our rep players this coming weekend, they should be good for the first 70mins of each game. 😐

Jake won't play the full game. Hopefully, DCE puts in a similar performance for QLD as he did against the Cowboys 🙂

NSW need Api in the 14, maybe he should even start the game and use Cook of the bench, playing 2 9’s will make a huge improvement to the side and level the clear advantage Qld enjoyed by playing 2 9’s in game one.
And congratulations to Jake for forcing his way back in.

Api starting. Should’ve been there in Soo1. It just makes sense with all the Panthers in the squad. And Crichton now a starting centre with Burton.

With a career-ending injury for Delta Charlie-Echo thrown in.

Too soon?

I saw that, good decision and I agree, he should of been there in game 1, having the 2 9’s will help our ruck speed later in the game, it’s a better looking side with Api, Angus and Jake, wondering about Talakai though, think I would of liked to see the Inflictor instead.

Here's an interesting hypothetical - imagine that we kept Api, that he didn't go back to the Panfers. How much would that have changed the fortunes of both clubs in that time?

TBH BB I would rather not muse on that forlorn outcome and the undoubted benefits to Manly , to many woulda coulda shoulda and split milk and tears for me .
What could have been ,,,,,,but I do remember some on here constantly bagging Api for his "slow service" and that we would never win a comp with him at 9 ,,,anyway too much to ponder for the moment .A bit like if only Mumma Cass had given that ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter they would both be still alive today , and if only Manase had dreamt about being a wise guy rather than hanging out at Church dances with undesirables living the dream ,,,,,if only ,,,

What's the bet jake backs up after making 50 + Tackles on Sunday to at on Thursday while million dollar captain finds some excuse again to sit out.

Perfect outcome for all involved. Look at how unlocked Olakau'atu was with Foz and Schuster in the halves. DCE was passing to him at a stand still.
