True guys. I overlooked Merrin for some strange reason. JDB greater defence, Merrin greater attack is how I see that one, but JDB still has a chance. Interesting one for me will be whether josh Jackson makes it, was best player for nsw last year or year b4. Can't remember but thought he stood out.

Thought the team you otherwise listed was pretty strong by blues standards! Backline would be epic if had just one good half. Maloney and Pearce is incredibly underwhelming

This game is going to be awesome. Looking forward to it!

Am i better off trading Slater to Norman instead of Cook to McInnes?

That's a yes from me. I don't think Norman will play origin.

I'd be tempted to get fuimaono and guth

Agree with this.

Also Fui's dpp will be handy later on if someone like CHN gets reduced game time, you can turn him into a gun WFB/CTR via some dpp switches.

Posted a few pages back but got missed, last reserve out of Brailey, CHN and KNik.

Thanks lads.

Brailey a safe option. Niko could go bigger though.

Who to choose for my 2nd CTR has become a real conundrum for me, unlike WFB there aren't really a lot of good options. I like Walker but that's ideally a round 16 trade for the run home.

Aubs is another good options with the byes and all but with SKD suspended that means realistically he is next in line to fill in at CTR. With the Roosters been depleted over Origin though that means his chances of staying in the forwards is good. Its a gamble though..

I don't have a lot of confidence in the Raiders duo at the moment and i don't know if they can reach the heights of last season. Who do people see as the ideal CTR combo? I want to trade in a keeper as i'm currently running TTurbo, Kelly, Talakai, Idris

The Peach. Peachey.

Traded Fifita out for Brown so expect an 80+ from Fifi!

Why do people de-rate DeBelin so much in the real arena, after owning him in fantasy all this year and watching him closely I think he has been fantatsic

runs hard, always looking to poke his nose through the line
has a decent offload and some decent ball playing ability
rarely misses tackles and has that niggle

Honestly don't know why he just gets the just a good fantasy player tag, average real life player

reckon he has elevated his game again this year and I would put him in the origin mix no doubt, he has far and away outplayed Merrin this year

For the most uninspiring transfer of the year, I've lobbed Yates into the front row bench in order to finally be done with this papalli fella, bringing in this Fui character from Souths for bye rounds.

Food for thought for anyone like me carrying that plank and with a 2RF DPP

Reckon Sharks could pump the Dragons here without Dugan and Widdop.

Really think Daley is all about combinations. Pearce and codner right side. Maloney and Graham left. Enough firepower with teddy there, and also reckon they should go with moylan as utility.

Jturbo, Vaughan, fifi, tamou, Klemer who misses out? Not sure Vaughan missing is as clear cut as most think.

Cordner, graham, frizell, Jackson think Jackson misses.

I have CHN and milo for last reserve. Will go CHN vs warriors minus mannering if starting

Don't disagree! the guy is a beast, but in their own world rep selectors mate

Anyone know if Kaysa Pritchard is good to go?

Has a pretty strong not good enough following on here as well, I have just never understood it.
