    Really hope Freddy doesn't go full space cadet and pick a team full of fullbacks again. Was our undoing last year so hopefully he's learnt a bit from that. In saying that (in my opinion) there's clear options with what he could go with, and some spots pick themselves

    Just off the top off my head

    FB: Tedesco
    WG: Addo Carr, and the other one will be a fight between Tupou, Ferguson and Cotric
    CTR: This is an interesting one. In my opinion we need specialist centres and there's more than enough quality in NSW to do that. Crichton on the left and Lomax on the right would be really solid. But Freddy will probably pick Latrell on the left (if he keeps up his form) and Gutherson on the right. Wouldn't surprise me if Trbojevic is selected but I don't think he should be.
    FE: I think it has to be Wighton. He is wasted in the centres and a big body running five-eighth would be great. I don't rate Walker at all in Origin, he's been a flop and a flat track bully. Luai would be my pick after Wighton due to his combo with Cleary
    HB: Will be Cleary unless he's injured

    I don't think Moses gets anywhere near the squad. Unless all four of Wighton/Luai/Cleary/Walker are all injured
    Moses > Walker

    Very much depends on what you need out of position. Origin isn't just about putting the best players on the field, they need to actually work together. You already have a dominant half in Cleary, so Moses's skill set totally over laps making him more of a back up for Cleary rather than a contender for 6. Same problem Pearce has.

    You want to partner Cleary with an off the cuff ball runner that doesn't need the ball on every play, but can make stuff happen with limited opportunities. Munster is obviously the gold standard for this, but will be lining up on the other side. Next tier you have Wighton, Walker, Luai, DBrown with their own strengths and weaknesses. I would rank them 1.Wighton, 2. Laui, 3.DBrown, 4.Walker purely based on Walker's previous origin performances.

    I think Moses is a better player then Walker - but think Freddy would go Walker over him

    Cook islands are ranked below Poland, Czech Republic, Norway, Malta, Serbia and Jamaica

    Guarantee they smash any of those sides out of the park.

    Also, how the fuck did Greece get up to #11???

    Those teams all play regular Test matches, Cook Islands do not.

    They'd probably beat but not smash Jamaica IMO. Jamaica have a lot of players eligible by birth/parentage that play in UK superleague.

    Jamaica beat USA by 6 to make the 2021 WC. Cook Islands then beat USA by 22 to qualify

    But they would definitely smash the rest.

    Greece qualified for the World Cup as well, which is why they are ranked 11th. They are decent the same way Italy and Lebanon are decent... ex-pat Aussies and trawling through Aussie players for heritage eligibility. The legendary Billy Magoulias was in their WC qualifiers squad.
