Madge coached a side that pumped Australia 30-zip. Let him choose.
And has failed ever since.
@@CQuinnLady he hasnt even coached a team since you spanner
â@@CQuinnLadynot very bright are you?
@@CQuinnLady yes just let everyone know you have no idea what you are talking about.
â@@CQuinnLadynothing but a spannerđ
As long as Madge doesnât pick 7 fullbacks in the one team and give the #14 8 minutes of game time, Iâll be happy
One thing is for sure, he'll pick full backs at full back, centres at centre, etc. Madge won't be sticking players in random positions and id say that included Hynes
Say you have no knowledge about origin, without actually saying it.
QLD dominated for years with Inglis, Boyd (both fullbacks) playing in on the centre and wing. NSW played Turbo Mitchell (both fullbacks) in the centre position in 2021 and it was the most dominant origin series of all time, as all three games were played in QLD.
QLD even played with Michael Morgan in the centres in the 2019 series. Get your facts right.
@@nswblues3146Lol Inglis played center most of his career. Boyd played wing for years & years for the Broncos
Latrell was a center. So your only real point is Tommy Turbo.
@@nswblues3146Morgan played center because we literally had no other centers⊠It was the down period for QLD
@@clutch7548 everything you just said was my point towards NSW selecting fullbacks in the centre position. Latrell Mitchell played centre at roosters, he went to Souths and played fullback, then all of a sudden people are making fun of NSW for selecting him at Centre. Look at Turboâs form as a centre in origin, so I donât understand the hate towards the selection.
Workrate, toughness. sounds like Edwards and Mitch Kenny.
Came here to write this, You already covered it âđ»
so just the panthers side in origin?
@@JaredFN worked well hasnât it. Cleary to Yeo in the middle of the field for the attack to go nowhereâs because the other 90% of the team know wtf is going on đ
@@npd6225 Yeo has been useless in Origin. Always stunts our attack. I'd prefer see McInnes play 13.
@@thomasrodwell563 thatâs what Iâm saying. I was being sarcastic-Cleary, Toâo and Martin will be the only Penrith players this year im guessing
"that stupid mat tomson" yep
Iâll second thatđ
bring in Brenton Speed as the main commentator thompson hurts my ears
What about Dylan Edwards at fullback. Best fullback going around.
Yep agree 100%
Gal is biased towards todesco, we all know that.
Agreed
Edwards and Tedesco offer the same thing at fullback. Both are effort players without much speed.
Edwards has a hammy issue heâs battling through, Teddy is fit by all accounts. If Paps didnât get hurt, heâd have been my pick for FB
Barnett from WAHS could be surprise.Tough with a huge workrate this season.
But hey who knows.
Barnett is perfect for Origin.
It would be ironic if Wighton got chosen at 5/8. He played 5/8 for years, won the Dally M, Clive Churchill in a losing team, and was overlooked time and again. The moment he starts playing center he gets chosen at 5/8 for NSW.
It's just timing.. they picked luai when wighton was better suited purely cos fittler wanted combos and blues were hard favorites and still dropped a couple series. Now they don't have that luxury.
@@user-xy9ut8gi5f The first one to be picked over Wighton was Walker, because he had 5 or 6 good games for Souths the Year after Wighton won all the awards. Jack is one of the most suited players for Origin going around, he's just never had a good opportunity to show it when he was in form.
@paythepiper6283 wighton was in form before that... besides form, he's a natural origin player and he progresses from being a tough full back without much IQ to avg centre to a very decent center with a dangerous Kick.. to an okay half that improved every week and took the raiders to a GF. Sure Luai and walker and Moses were doing more at club land, but wighton had always been more of an origin player than all of them
@@user-xy9ut8gi5f couldn't agree more
What about Damien Cook at fullback?âŠ
five eight
His a great centre
I just watched the video- the only quote that matters, Gus says âIâm a million miles away from it.â He has no idea who the blues will pick
Good chance he's right though... Madge ain't gonna pick the same team who lost last year
Tbh Wighton shouldve been the 6 years ago when he was winning the Clive Churchill and the Dally M and he wouldve kept his spot till now for sure. Weird that now he's retired and not even playing at 6 at his club that his name has been thrown around.
Thanks to Freddy and the selectors. He wasn't 'needed' then, even though he deserved it. Now they need him
Anyone but Tedesco at fullback. Give someone else a go
Slow and old mark my words he won't be picked
I agree to an extent. But ya canât deny Teddys current form and Origin experience. Iâd prefer Edwards still though
Teddy hogs the ball. Hopefully Madge picks Edwards
Damn right he does !
And he scurries like a rat with it. So frantic. Even when he does play it, it's equally frantic. No finesse to it at all.
@@NoEvidenceForGod Edwards does the same thing. NSW best fullbacks are Turbo and Papenhuyzen.
Huh? Edwards passes even less đđ
My problem with Jack Wighton is he signed with the Bunnies for heaps less money than his worth and being offered to resign with Canberra. At the time South's were a top team in the league and everyone was asking why the NRL would allow it and same excuse was used. "He's retired from rep footy he's worth less now"
He signed his big contract as five eight though. He's playing centre in a full strength Bunnies team. What you would pay a five eight and what you would pay a centre is entirely different and that's the same if Wighton is playing at the Raiders. He would never have got a million dollar contract playing centre.
He won't get picked. Load of nonsense they are talking here
@@ARandomGuy24 Disagree. He was always going to play centre at Souths. Remember they let Reynolds go because they thought Ilias was their long term half. With Ilias gone there is now talk about Wighton to partner walker in halves and the noise about NSW
Path. WA. Gong. NSW SYDNEY
@@BenWick-oc8pv Yeah I'm saying he was always going to play centre in the full strength team. I said that just in case he started playing five eight in case of injuries.
On behalf of Queensland please choose Tedesco
Nah Choose Trell Mit at Fullback.
@MusMasi Well yes that would be better.... for Queensland
Only Edward
I get the feeling Madge will pick Mitchell sometime in this series.
Tbh Mitchell in the centres is a good call. Plays with mongrel. Genuine match winner. And he has 6 tries in 7 games for the Blues. Needs no further justification.
Have to agree, halves combination is important. But it wont matter, you can put in superman as 6 and batman as 7 and Qld will still win. The footy culture there is deep.
This is unbelievable đł
Gus says shock, but it will be turbo, todesco, Cleary, paas, luai,
Wighton coming out of retirement would be unreal for NSW. He's perfect for origin.
He says we will all be shocked because madge is picking Hynes at 7. Heard it here first.
I'd say if he picks him, he'll be 7. Made doesn't strike me as a coach that will stick players in out of their regular position. Much more confident in Madge than Fittler, whatever he does
2023 Grand Final, Luai goes off, Cogger comes on, Coggers goes first receiver, Cleary orchestrates greatest GF performance of all time. Pick Hynes at 7, Cleary at 6.
@@jeffreyallsopp Except that's not what happened. You don't know Penrith well enough. Yeo went off concussed at the same time as Luai. Cogger actually took on the role that Yeo normally does, varying between ball running and passing. Cogger didn't replace Luai, another forward replaced Luai numerically, and Cleary played both his own role and Luai's switching from one side of the field to the other. Putting Hynes between Yeo and Cleary would be nuts.
Inside info burton at 5/8
I doubt it but I reckon heâd make the perfect 14 as he covers alot of positions
Cleary burton two great kicking games
I like what Madge brings to NSW
Yes!
I agree with Gus new fresh players
When do the teams get announced
probably when they get picked brođđđ
Inside information here I shouldnât be saying but Iâll say it anyway
The team gets selected prior to kick off
@ThatOneGuy - On the Sunday night before the 1st game
@@conandis5542 even being a smartass your wrong
Playing NRL is like being on Centrelink you get paid to do F.A.
Edwards at the back is a must. He is better tan Tedesco
Good on ya Gus
Penrith backline former and present
Wat about Burton best 6in the game ues to play with clrey
Nico Hynes is probably the second or third best option at 5/8. His bad decision making and errors have been masked by the fact that his team has been winning (against extremely week competition btw). They've probably had the weakest draw to start the season.
The best choice at 6 has to be Moses if he's healthy. His kicking game is one of the best in the league and will take pressure off Cleary. He's a dangerous runner with the ball, and is strong defensively.
Also the blues should steer away from relying too heavily on the Penrith connection because it is too easy to game plan against. Looking at the grand final last year, the broncos had penrith on the ropes until Isaiah Yeo went off. Cleary at first receiver instead of going through Yeo offered a much more potent and unpredictable attack.
Lastly, the blues forward pack really need to step up their game... The maroons forward pack last year consistently got over the advantage line and got quick plays of the ball despite their lack of size.

It the same every year.
NSW - "WE HAVE SO MANY PLAYERS TO CHOSE FROM.....................................but we can't find 17 to beat QLD".
QLD - "Yeah, we just pick the players that will get the job done".
Mckinnes.. On the bench đŻ
Love Gus
How is olakauatu not in the talks
Let's go NSWđȘ
Peth. WA. Gong. NSW. SYDNEY
He's gonna pull TPJ out of retirement?
Oh, it's Madge not Freddy.
Lol. Hynes on bench for 74 mins whilst the forwards are getting bashed to bits, for full Freddie effect
Toes in the grass ,therapy for nsw lol
Dylan edwards at least on the wing. He played for Australia.

Dylan Edwards for Blues fullback....
Please NO more Tedesco, thats the only selection you need.
Once cleary has the reigns we dont lose for years
reins
â@@MusMasirains
NSW never pick a side with mongrel.
You put Wighton at 6, McInnes at 9, Latrell and Crighton in the Centres, Turbo on a Wing with the Panthers nugget, and you have a massive side across the park already without naming all the forwards.
Robson 9, McInnes to 13, Latrell and Best in centres, drop Turbo and Critta
Thereâs no way at latrell gets picked anywhere
His heads not right atm
Should be
Edwards FB
Toâo and addo Carr on the wings
Turbo and best in the centres
And the halves should be Cleary and hynes along with Api at hooker
@@AlexUnlimited7 I'm a Manly fan but I wouldnt pick Turbo atm. I agree that Latrell isnt in the best headspace atm but he's so good in Origin that he's worth taking a punt on.
@@thomasrodwell563 I can see how youâd arrive that conclusion.
Turbo is always a risk injury wise but when heâs fit and healthy Iâd love to see him fire up
@@AlexUnlimited7 I think if Turbo is in the side he has to play fullback. He is actually doing much better than Edwards and Tedesco in terms of try assists and tries, but unfortunately he's making too many errors.
1. Turbo
2. Too
3. Crichton
4. Best
5. Lomax
6. Hyena
7. Cleary
9. Reece robson
13. Cam Murray
Personally I'd play four extra forwards.
Guss is the only reason why I watch this.
No matter who they pick the lounge chair coaches in the comments know better đ
Exactly this lmao
Aa a qlder please ick cleary and luai, they have won us 3 out if the past 4, experts at going missing, I'd go hynes and Burton, strong running players with good kicking games, and not as predictable as a robot cleary
You didnât watch 21 origin and they win 3 championships together and luai took scrubs to the World Cup final by himself
â@ZeldonSinghIsFlyc,mon dude ,,we can clearly see luai aint nothing special ,its time to face the facts27.
@@lukem2260 luai carried samoa to the world cup final
@@ZeldonSinghIsFly27. he is not that good ,,u can tell wen cleary is injured ,,also origin ,,they dropped him game 3 last year ,,,,u got rose coloured glasses on
@@lukem2260 when cleary is injured luai makes penrith win almost every game and he took samoa by himself to the world cup final
Please pick players with mongrel. Drop Critta and Turbo, opt for Best and Mitchell instead. Also bring in Wighton for Hynes. Mongrel wins Origin games, not fancy plays.
Mate I actually agree a little there we need players that are ready to throw down
Shocked! Will Madge pick some Kiwis?
How about Mat Burton for 5/8
âYouâve got to go with Payne hass or Liam Martin at fullback. Just too much qualityâ
Brad Fitler
Maybe not a new way as much as returning to the old ways of big tough intimidation. That will never work against the mobility and quickness of the elite players today. Will be the elephant against the leopard
Id be picking the ENTIRE Penrith side! Plug in api critta and leinu...the old gang back together. Best team in the modern era...see how ya go against billys boys
They'd get swept 3-0 lol
Yeah cause picking panthers has worked well for them đđ
Is this Luke Brooks music??
The pundits will pick Tedesco even when heâs 80
Come on Queensland
Turbo injured now so Gus was right
Niko Hynes couldn't send someone over in about 10 sets camped on the Dragons line last weekend. How's he gunna bamboozle Qld?
And Gus asking why they would change Lui and Cleary, um because they keep getting beaten with that combo. Is that a good enough reason?
Turbo will dawn the no. 1 jersey imo
I hope Gus is right.
Papenhuazen now
He got injured fibula fracture out for 4/6 weeks
Canât pick the bloke thatâs out for 6 weeks

U picked Whiton.....Ur a typical Qld DIMWIT
Why isn't Madge on 9 sports on Sunday's with Slater,the 2 most important people in NRL at the moment ,forget John's and Fittler,(great players but lost their chance at Origin) they've also got their own podcasts,we can see Billy just watching them blah blah between each other and wondering what the he'll is he doing there đđ€Łđđ€Ł
Wighton has retired, same with Trell.
Why even bring Trell into it? he's not in the discussion!!
@@Viaterarising maybe hes a queenslander wishing they Pick Trell at Fullback for NSW?
Paps is never gonna play origin, I doubt heâll ever play a full season of NRL again without being injured for a large chunk of it
He won a finals mvp doesnât matter
I'm with Gus, way too early to start talking about origin selections.
Cleary, Haas, Yeo, Turbo, Too, Martin certainties. The Rest is hot air.

Now I know how Americans feel.
They have to choose between Biden and Trump.
In NSW we have to choose whether we want NSW to win which means Maguire will remain as coach for several seasons or hope for a QLD whitewash so we can get a proper coach
Burton / Cleary đ”đ”
I heard Latrell has got the job for NSW cutting oranges for halftime, best position for him, good choice hahaha
Latrell thought he was getting oranges at half time ,,but his coach pulled him off instead
I love Teddy but he trips over his own feet and runs around in circles like a spinning wheel. I am in the Edward camp this year.
Won't comment because .doesn't want to pay another $20000 fine đ
No Tino this series for Queensland will be a big loss!
I hope they pick Edwards. Qld will shut him down easy đ
There gonna copy Billy Slaters picking style đ
You sure?
Hudson Young off the bench. Freddy wasted him last year.
Sounds like Dlyan Edwards is getting the number 1 on his back for the blues, and well deserved and over due. Teddys is infuriating to watch for origin (ball hog who runs sideways all game and doesnât have a clue about tactics and work rate) and seems bad captain aswell.
It was criminal last year playing Tedesco in the dead runner when they had a chance to road test Edwards. Nothing turned on that third game, so what was the point of playing Tedesco?
If teddy or walker are picked I'm defecting
Edwards > Tedesco all day every day.
So Gus knows the team before Madge does? Get a grip! This bloke is clueless, probably still thinks Jarome Luai will get picked!
We will do same thing 1 out running we will lose
Payne Haas is not an Origin player
You are off your head!
đđ
I donât rate Payne haas at all.
Lazy. Not enough fire for his frame
@@hansneggs your entitled to that view
I've thought the same thing the last few years. For his physique, Haas should be crushing it in Origin, but Qld pack has dominated NSW the last two seasons. The Grand final showed what Haas is capable of in big games, and if he can play to his GF level NSW go a long way towards winning.
Get rid of Brian Toâo. Need a tall winger to go up against the tall wingers of QLD.
To'o won the NSW player of the series last year, and has won another grand final since. Yeah "get rid if him". I assume you are the brother of another winger or something.
Moved to QLD, gave up on the choking blue men. NSW has been a let down for decades. Time to wear the maroon.
