As long as Madge doesn’t pick 7 fullbacks in the one team and give the #14 8 minutes of game time, I’ll 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.

Look at Turbo’s form as a centre in origin, so I don’t understand the hate towards the selection.
Workrate, toughness. sounds like Edwards and Mitch Kenny.

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.

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.

Pick Sualli
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.
Is this Luke Brooks music??
