Official Jesse Ramien

[Vichyssoise]

For now, this would be my line up, Lomax comes close for a debut but the fox brings energy and experience. Going by game 3 debut, i'd stick to Best, played with confidence and was solid. Time for Teddy to step down, Edwards deserves the 1 jersey and has a connection with Cleary in attack. 5-8 is out of Keary and Hynes, both in good form, leaning more to Keary but curious to see how Hynes would go at 6 playing second fiddle. Keeping Robson, can play big minutes if needed, Egan comes close. Mcinnes debut off the bench to light up the middle with direct running

Good looking squad. Keary's HIA history makes him a bit of a risk though.
only 2 sharks in that team too, love it.

Its out of Crichton, Best, Turbo and Staggs for centres. Ramien in his best form now but i think those guys are in front already having experience within NSW squad

Jesse is way ahead of Best and Staggs on form this year. No contest.

I think he is this year, I stand by that.

Ok, fair enough.

Maybe I’m looking at this with black white and blue glasses.
the less disruption to our team the better (we have had more than enough already)

And Origin is a big disruption

Oh for sure, I won't be disappointed if he doesn't get picked.

 

[Western Sharkie]

sorry Jesse, but you are worth much more to us to risk an origin injury or “a let down period” if things go pear shaped

Even this year, he's still got the odd brain fade in him. Not sure he's really in the conversation, especially when you have Turbo to pick at right centre.

Maybe, but i dont see him getting picked ahead of the guys that have been in the blues squad already

Good looking squad. Keary's HIA history makes him a bit of a risk though.

Keary's head has been ok so far, just get him to survive the origin period

I wouldn't be contesting him against Best imo
For left centre Best is an option, for right Ramien is

Left Crichton 1st choice, Wighton/Best/Burton backup
Right Turbo 1st choice, Ramien/Staggs back up

To'o one wing, Lomax, JAC and Tupou can argue over the other.

Wighton a bench option if available but not selected at centre.

I'd have Paps as 14 to be honest.

He can be one of those roaming 13s.

I was thinking in a livewire kind of way.
Queensland usually does this kind of thing with great success. Why not NSW?

Where would you have him defend?

I'm sure with Murray or Yeo beside him he could handle the middle. Give him 10 minutes to end the first half and another stint towards the end of the game.

NSW just don’t get origin

Never heard that one

If selected, Ramien will likely make his Origin debut in the centres with Bulldogs skipper Stephen Crichton.

Unless they're thinking of picking Turbo at fullback there's no chance he's not picked as a centre.
