Fittler to clean the slate with NSW Origin side

Very exciting article in SMH today about the side Fitler is to pick for NSW Origin.

As Gould says, it hasn't worked for the last 13 years (bar one of course), so why shouldn't anyone who's in form and shows Origin current and future potential be picked?

Who's your squad of young-guns to finally stop those maroon bastards beating us all the time?

  • great news hes ball s tamped a few week back took it toll no doubt.. but i can see the big pic, hes not seeing qld as a force no more and does not want to go out with a belting...

  • I imagine Fittler will take the approach of simply picking the 17 most in form NSW players and then fit them into the team.

  • "Everyone will be surprised when Brad Fittler not only names his halves, but names his team."

    - Maloney = no one will be surprised
    - Cleary = no one will be surprised

    Well who then? Surely these two are picked.
    • Gould on 100% footy was trying not to give anything away, but from watching it I took that Maloney wont be picked, along with quite a few other players from last year.

    • Maloney will be picked, gee wizz not 1 of your best.
    • Trent Hodkinson and Matt Frawley
  • Im a NSW man but dont wright off QLD they name a good side still

    • Yes Arnold I won’t wright them off, you never know qld might win the series
  • As long as we don't pick fullbacks in the centres we should be ok.

    • QLD do it often. The last few years Inglis, Boyd and Morgan have all played in the centres

"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make false assumptions.
What kind of six is Ryles after? Dunno. But Pezet appears to have footy IQ with swagger, a kicking game,…"

"Whether there is a definitive answer or not, it'll have nothing to do with us signing Pezet. He was only available for 2026. He had already signed with the Broncos long term from 2027."
