    Agreed he should be able to decide. It's not like an Inglis situation where he just wanted to play for QLD, Keary fucking grew up in QLD.

    But if I was Keary, I'd 100% say I've become a blue, purely for that extra 90k a year.

    Yeah Fittler is definitely capable of fucking this right up especially if they lose Game 1. Whoever wins in Melbourne will take out the series imo.

    There's definitely something to Fittler saying the only player he was set on (outside of the captain obviously) is a debutant who was just ruled out due to a long term injury. It's too convenient.

    I'm not sure what his angle on it was but I don't buy it for a second, I imagine he's got a pretty good idea of what the make up of his side will look like for starters.

    He's probably just trolling the media.

    I don't think he's trolling. A.It's Fittler; the guy is thick as fuck. And B.He's mentioned McLean every single time he's been asked about player selections, since taking the job.

    I think he probably has a fair few players pencilled in but I reckon Cordner and McLean were penned in, so to speak. And apparently James Maloney too the previous weekend.

    Rothfield's team for Game 1

    1 James Tedesco (Roosters), 2 Tom Trbojevic (Sea Eagles), 3 Euan Aitken (Dragons), 4 Josh Dugan (Sharks), 5 Josh Mansour (Panthers), 6 James Maloney (Panthers), 7 Mitchell Pearce (Knights), 8 Jack de Belin (Dragons), 9 Cameron McInnes (Dragons), 10 Dave Klemmer (Bulldogs), 11 Tyson Frizell (Dragons), 12 Boyd Cordner (Roosters), 13 Jake Trbojevic (Sea Eagles). Bench: 14 Paul Vaughan (Dragons), 15 Reagan Campbell-Gillard (Panthers), 16 Ryan James (Titans), 17 Wade Graham (Sharks).

    I'd love to know the logic behind starting De Belin up front and also having 3 props on the bench with no utility to cover McInnes.

    Yeah I had lots of issues with his side, was talking to Read/Taylor/Gemmell about it.

    1. McInness does not play for Souths. I think he's fixed this online, but the newspaper edition listed "Cameron McInness (Rabbitohs)". He should fire his editor, or better yet, watch a game that has aired since 2016.
    2. Neither of his centres can pass. It'd be like playing with eleven in attack. St George fans late 2017 to confirm.
    3. Mitchell Pearce.
    4. One legitimate prop starting, three props on the bench. If anything I'd be doing the complete opposite of that. Starting mobile and finishing with a power game is fucking retarded.
    5. Ryan James is a shit cunt.
    6. Four forwards on the bench again. No-one needs that shit. I'd rather have a specialist injury cover player sit on the bench for 80 minutes than that.

    Have to give Buzz credit though for managing to always get people to talk about his shithouse selections. Most people on CricSim would pick better sides but the office watercooler talk is never picking apart Scott Wilson's SOO team.

    I've joined Twitter recently and the cunt is a deadset moron. The way he talks about players, no surprise they all hate him.

    Rothfield has been so cooked for so long. He looks like a corpse on 360 and genuinely struggles maintain coherence if speaking for more than 4 seconds.

    The thing that annoys me more than it should is how he types on Twitter. Looks like the cunt hasn't finished school spelling words like 'thnx'

    Huge productivity gains, think of all the extra time he has for analysis by eliminating one third of his typing load.

    I don’t know how one can watch every series since Craig Wing retired and still think not picking an impact utility especially post-Buderus is a good idea. Doubly when you’re picking extra forwards or fucking centres instead.

    Good news for NSW is Johns reportedly made reference to Craig Wing and is a big fan of picking Cook for that exact role.

    Probably how he has time to travel the world.

    Cause there ain't nothing wrong with that team.

    Fuck off cunt. You'd have Thommo in there.

    He keeps playing the way he has been and I can see him getting a start if there’s an injury or two.

    I'd have had Peachey in that role for years.

    I think I picked Milford a few weeks ago. The cunt is lucky to have a spot with Brisbane, and should be nowhere near Origin.

    Also, I've read Walters/Bennett fallout is over Walters planning on not picking Boyd.

    I don’t know what you do with Boyd atm. Cunt looks injured to me.

    Chambers and Gagai are locked in on the right. So one wing spot between Holmes, Boyd and Oates.
