I think the QLD is comfortably better. How did Victor Radley make the team???

The more confusing pick was Saifiti. And no Ford.

 

[Equaliser]

NSW have a big advantage in the halves. Given Munsters form and the general ability of Walker vs Cleary. Other than that, I think QLD have an edge on them. How didn't Keon Koloamatangi get picked for NSW? Also both NSW centres have been down on form this year but not sure who else they have. I know Mitchell would have been first picked if he wasn't injured. Centres might have been Tom Turbo and Mitchell if they weren't injured.

For QLD, I'd agree Ponga is a better fullback than Walsh but I'd have found a way to fit them both in. Walsh can only play fullback so Ponga would be in the centres. Not sure if I'd leave out Hammer or the other centre. Obviously I'm biased to say Hammer should be picked but honestly haven't watched much of the Roosters play so far this year.

I rate Ponga highly.

I would have loved him at the Dolphins.

I Moses is a hoax, that has looked good playing in a parra team that has been shit for years. Not sure they have that big of an advantage in the halves.
