    I thought it more likely that the shift happens when lussick needs a breather. Not to start the match

    That does seem more likely to me, but you never know with Roosters teamlists. Might have Lussick 9, Hutchinson 14 as they have the last couple of weeks. Butcher also filled in at hooker briefly in one of the games so they could also go that way, or with Radley. In short, *shrugs*.

    Just like that time Adrian Lam was from Queensland and PNG. And Tonie Carroll was from Queensland and New Zealand. And Greg Inglis was from Queensland and New South Wales. And Will Chambers was from Northern Territory and Queensland.

    Heres something that will blow some minds: your State of Origin can be New South Wales while also being Tongan, Samoan, New Zealander, etc.

    Tough call. Tbis is why I have such a weak 14-21, to avoid pointscoring headaches like this.

    I would say Liddle, then maybe Milf and Walker as boom/bust options. Fui probably has a higher floor than both of them if you want to play safe, but a much lower ceiling.

    Yeah I've really ended up with a heap of similar options for those last spots..

    You're right Fui a bit safer, should make plenty of tackles against Eels. Milf is the hardest to call, big difference floor to ceiling I feel. Will continue to ponder but maybe Liddle, SOS and Milf

    I have a poll running in the TU/TD thread and I notice that one side has taken the lead.

    Could all interested parties ensure that it is a dead heat so I am forced to make my own decision geek

    .....I bought a CTR.....for now

    Liddle, Fui, SOS, Milf, Walker

    FWIW

    my 13-21 looks like this

    Mahoney, Schuster, Hoy, Bird
    Milford, Walker, Fuimaono, Liddle

    Milf & Walker in the l**p. I'm expecting Walker to outscore Milf though, but I quietly hope that Milford redeems himself this week #illridewithmilf

    Everyone will run right through the Manly middle, or the edges, probably both.
    Someone mentioned earlier that Leniu might get extra game time because Manly are crap, only issue there is that Leniu was in doubt so may not be 100%.

    Although I know the point you are making,  "diluting' is the wrong word to use when you are strengthening the quality of players that can participate.

    Apologies, I wasn’t very clear. By diluting I meant the origins / meaning of the game to the passionate (bogan?) supporters, as opposed to the quality. I rarely watch all stars, and couldn’t give a rats about the result. I enjoy the spectacle when I watch it, but doesn’t give me the wild ride origin does.

    Edit: sorry Loomer.
    To be fair I didn’t have anything else to contribute: I have a set and forget Centre trio (Bird, Jet and Nui), can’t post gif’s and don’t like Seinfield.

    Nice, Milf really is the ideal player to l**p, wish I had that option

    Liddle's scores were a bit inflated by tries the first 2 rounds which was great fro cash generation, but I expect him to score more around the 35 mark going forward. Fui probably closer to 40. I expect about 45+ from Walker. And Milford can score anything between 15 and 99

    Tele reported it in the same article the reported Verrills out for 6 more weeks.

    If legit, the reshuffle is:

    Hutchinson to hooker
    Manu to five-eighth
    BMoz to centre
    Ikavalu to wing
    Lussick to bench

    If you think for example Sterlo moving from Toowoomba as a baby is the same thing as Greg Inglis signing for Melbourne Storm/Norths Devils in Yr 11 of high school, more power to you.

    To me that shows you probably don't understand State of Origin eligibility rules.

    The Tamou and Uate examples are exactly why this argument is a nonsense. The only difference in state eligibility between them and Taumalolo is that they choose to represent Australia and Lolo chose to represent NZ/Tonga.

    You could easily unlink state eligibility to national eligibility and have a much better contest that includes players like Taumalolo while still excluding players with no links to Qld and NSW
