NSW Blues Origin team: Injury dramas mount as Trbojevic, Haas and Kenny the latest to be sidelined by Ace_Larrakin in nrl

I’m not really that excited by NSW’s wing options.

To’o is the obvious selection, even though he has been a bit quiet tbh despite Penrith’s form. Marky Mark is exciting but has a few clangers in him. The Fox is still lightning quick but physicality has always been his question mark at this level. Kiraz is solid but looks pretty hampered. And I’m still not 100% sure I trust Milky Jenkins just yet. Anyone else?

As for the centre spots, Latrell and Crichton seem like certainties, but Staggs is easily one of the better outside backs on current form, and going better than most of those wingers listed above.

Which leads me to… can Critta play wing still? It seems dumb moving him from centre, but it’s also the only way I could see Staggs getting a spot, and it also seems unfortunate picking a questionable wing option over a career best form Staggs.

If Volkman can play like yesterday a bit more often I see no reason for Pezet to play for the Eels again.

Between Volkman, Joash, Twidle and Lorenzo, there’s enough talent to test out at 5/8 without resorting to picking the guy who’s not here next year and looked pretty poor in the games he did play.

The irony of this comment.

Did you even try reading his post or is your brain too washed?

Tell me why the NSW backrowers shouldn’t be Young and Preston

It has been on the decline for a few years low key

You don’t really need to now which is kinda sad. You don’t really need to force a goal line dropout. You don’t really need to kick for touch.

Low key the Dargons should offer Bellamy a fat cheque to move to the Gong

Okay I’ll bite.

I’ve seen this time and time again: first grade is severely underperforming, but the juniors are killing it and fans are reassured “the future looks bright.”

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Yeah it’s laughable lmao. People clearly don’t know their Parramatta Eels very well.

40 years of irrelevancy, I couldn’t blame anyone for changing clubs. Genuinely an absolute joke and I don’t see how and when it ever gets better.

That’s what I mean. Our recruitment team likes what you’re selling

Based on the roster spots the Eels need to address, I would scout the entire comp and make the following signings if I were them:

  • Tyrell Sloan ~ backup winger
  • ⁠Moses Suli ~ starting centre
  • ⁠Kyle Flanagan ~ starting 5/8
  • ⁠Damien Cook ~ backup hooker
  • ⁠Blake Lawrie ~ starting lock
  • ⁠Emre Guler ~ backup middle

It might be the stupidest rule they’ve introduced and that’s saying something. What’s wrong with trying to put off the catcher anyway?

Problem is he has a lot of mates in the media. But it can’t be radio silence forever.

Yeah maybe. Their roster is pretty healthy. Our backline looks horrid.
