Just wondering what other Eels fans are thinking about Mitchell Moses possibly being selected by Coach Daley for Origin 2. I personally don't think he should be selected because of his injuries and also his form this year hasn't been the greatest.
I think it's more important he gets himself 100% fit and spends more time on the field for Parra the Origin. It seems everytime he plays in Origin he either picks up some injury or aggravates current injuries that sidelines him for Parra matches.
What do others on here think?

2026 finals footy is fast becoming a dream. Chances of playing finals appears to be very slim. Why keep one of the best halves in the Country from playing Origin. Mitch wants to play Origin, he is more then capable of being selected. Why would we want to stop him from playing against the best.
I suspect at times that Mitch may be let down by our club, and those that are playing around him may not be up to first grade standards. He deserves better, he deserves to be leading teams to finals footy, so it seems short sighted to stop in any way him playing with the best, when Origin comes around. Isn't Origin standard players the players we want to see more of at the club.
I'd go strange.
Moses at this point in his career should make rep footy his priority its the only chance of winning anything he has a few more years with us and his premiership window is definitely shut.
Pure speculation with no supportive evidence whatsoever:
I wonder if there are some SOO appearance clauses in his contract.
Just switched over Dolpins v Cowboys think i head comintators say Dolphins half Katoa looks like will be chosen instead of moses in soo2 due Moses injury uncertainty. Who knows will have to wait and see
I'm torn about this one.
We all know what a fit Moses can do and how dangerous he is, and the Blues desperately need his boot. There's nothing more I would love to see than Moses wrap up an Origin series in Game 2 and cement his Origin legend.
But it's clear to us who've watched him all year that he's not 100% healthy and that presents a significant risk to both the Blues, and the Eels.
If he blows his hammy it no doubt ruins us for the year, so is it worth risking when Ethan Strange was just about the best player the Blues had in Origin 1?
Daley should stick with Strange for Game2 and only bring in Moses if they need him for Game 3.
Daley though couldn't care less for Parramatta or any clubs. He cares about winning the series and to him Moses is the best chance of winning the series. For him if he gets hurt playing Origin, just put Strange on and move on. Only one more game anyway. Not like it would be for us with big scheme of a season.
Good point about only IF needed for game 3. Ethan Strange went well in Game 1. Don't see the need to change
I think calling Daley a coach is incredibly disrespectful to actual coaches.
If I'm honest I'm waiting for Moses to leave.
Ive been of this mindset for a little while now.
I don't know where his priorities are at with regards to the club and commitment to it over playing SoO footy but making himself unavailable for the team that's paying his wages and a team that's in desperate need for his services gives me a moment of pause on his actual commitment to the club.
Playing for the badge is a popular comment used in Parra circles is Moses all in here I just don't know he is.
I think he is all in.
Although I see him requesting to leave so he can get a shot at a premiership with a good team
