I hate to tip QLD but Wighton, Sims, Tupou in the team is choosing favourites. I agree Sims should be the starting second rower with Su'a but if he's been one of the best NSW second rowers so far this season, NSW is in trouble.

Murray is also a lock, not a second rower.
Qld are no chance too many inexperienced players in my view

I would have picked Gold Coast because NQ were missing 6 of their best players.

Who are we tipping for the rep round?
  1. New Zealand vs Tonga - NZ because Tonga have some good players but I don't think they have the depth to beat NZ.
  2. Samoa vs Cook Islands - Samoa because Su'A, F. Molo are in the team and Max. Feagai is 18th man. Cook Islands only have 1 NRL player I know of and he is a fringe NRL player.
  3. Papua New Guinea vs Fiji - Fiji because looks like a really strong team. Most of them are NRL players, some very good like our Ravalawa.
  4. NRLW U19 NSW vs QLD - NSW because of course St George and Illawarra both have several players in the 17.
  5. U19 NSW vs QLD - QLD because NSW only have Bostock starting on the wing and two on the bench despite the Jersey Flegg flying. They must be almost all 20 this year.
  6. NRLW NSW vs QLD - NSW packed with St George Illawarra players led by Apps, Tonegato and Tonegato's player of the year co-winner, Boyle is also in the NSW team despite playing for the Broncos until now. It might get embarrassing for QLD.
  7. NRLW New Zealand vs Tonga - New Zealand. It's Page McGregor for NZ against Tegan Dymock for Tonga. I don't know. Just going with NZ on a hunch.
  8. NSW vs QLD - QLD because NSW have picked far from the beat team. Politics and money overrode selection. QLD picked their best possible team.

As long as No.8 is an extremely tough game with lots of injuries, St George win. Other than that, good luck to NSW NRLW team.
 
Damnit! The U19 games were on tonight. Were they televised? Did anyone watch?
Yes a few very impressive youngsters in both U19 teams. The winger Balstock Illawarra junior went well but is leaving the dragons nursery for the new Dolphins, the standout for me was Pezet ended up M.O.M. brilliant and unfortunately already signed by Storm . Worth watching the replay some talent out there Pezet is a half back / 5/8 he would slip in easily if Munster leaves. Qld most dangerous player was their 2nd rower Howarth in one run in the 2nd half he beat 6 tackles. Qld scored 1st but after that were starved of the ball for a 15 min period where we piled on the points and they had a player sent to the bin. 2nd half was a decent game.

Did you notice how the two Dragons bench forwards went? I can't recall their names.

Yep Couchman and Webster both got a run and I really like the look of Couchman. He is built like a good backrower and what impressed me was his acceleration into the defensive line in attack. Webster was on for 1 minute in 2nd half start raced up and belted the ball carrier unfortunately led with his head and was knocked out in a head clash.

Sounds good re Couchman. Webster leading with his head at least shows courage so something to work with there:ROFLMAO:.

Felt for him his 1st tackle and he gets knocked out next time he will learn to get in lower.
Does anyone remember Nathan Long? He had an immense crop of blond hair and seemingly unlimited courage. Unfortunately, seems he didn't have a very big brain.
