Will be a good thing if he cops a week or two - Hynes should be the 5/8 without a doubt.
At this point, Hynes and Campbell Graham are must picks. I can't see how you can overlook them.

Hes gonna get dropped at some point because someone has overtaken him or father time has caught up with him.They’re not dropping the captain because of form.
Doesnt seem a ridiculous question at this point in time given Edwards is clearly outperforming him at club level.

As good as Hynes is there’s a danger he won’t work with Cleary. He’s a halfback for starters. Graham will be picked whether it be centre or wing.

If they were to move it surely is for Mitchell anyway.

Guess it depends how you rate the centres coming through. Mitchell can play either but after Teddy I’d play him at FB

Api might join him as the starting hooker after his performance against the cowgirls tonight.
Wasn't sure where to put this so I apologise if it's in the wrong thread.
What's the deal with this push to allow players who spent minimal time in QLD or NSW to play SoO? It seems like people just want the best RL players competing and don't really care that it essentially defeats the whole purpose of SoO. At a certain point it goes from being an SoO game to being an All Star game and then you have players donning the jersey that aren't as passionate about it because they identify somewhere else as home and it hurts the game. The NRL needs to be really careful because they could potentially do irreparable damage to their showpiece event.

Hard to pick a winner in game one, so maybe QLD by 2.
Stoked with the NSW backline, altough would be swapping Hynes for Luai. It's the same 1-7 that put on a combined scoreline of 76-6 in games 1 and 2 in 2021; think having Turbo and Latrell back this year will make a big difference.
QLD 2-1 with NSW winning the dead rubber after Fittler gives up on his failed team.

God I hate Freddy. 1 good performance from Teddy and Turbo all season and they're straight back in.
Beyond stupid selections that I hope bite him on the arse again.
