  Luai to half (if he's not suspended), Burton to 5/8.

Maybe it's just me being negitive , but I don't think Moses would be able to bring them back from a 9-0 penalty count 😂

Lui deserves his spot in the Blues

  Will look to be Luai and Moses

    Moses should only be there if Cleary is injured. Nothing wrong with Cleary last night, obviously carrying an injury. Luai last night was like the "curates egg" good in parts!
    
    Moses would have been lost in that game if he was playing 5/8, the fact is that 2 right sided players in the halves do not compliment the team. Luai taking on the role was perfect in a balancing sense.
    
    Wiz is right Moses would have made no difference. He is lengths behind Cleary as a game manager and player, Nothing wrong with that, he is still number 2.

      Plenty wrong with Cleary last night. His kicking was atrocious.

        By his standards, which are better than the rest.

        Agreed. It was another disappointing performance from Cleary at this level.

NSW had ample opportunities to win that game. There were multiple sets attacking QLD's line where they just had no direction at all and that falls on Cleary's shoulders.

Yes NSW lost the game themselves due to ill discipline but they had the opportunities to save the game and Cleary failed big time. He is just not a Origin player

"If Cleary was on the market, what would be his market value and how many clubs would be after him,? Consider his performances in the Grand finals he played in."

"@BringBackSemi
Mitchell has unquestionably improved his defence enormously. But Cleary would leave him for dead as a defensive player. I was never a John's fan as to his overall greatness, be he is the only half back comparable to Cleary (he covers…"

"Agreed on Tedesco. He's an origin player through and through. NSW selectors need to understand this - they have only had 45 years of experimentation to get it right! QLD often select players that may not be performing best in that position, but they…"
