The most stupid thing Fittler did last year was to play Tedesco in game 3. The series was lost so it was the perfect time to road test Edwards in that arena. What did anyone learn by having Tedesco play in a dead rubber? It was just a game to pad his stats.

For Madge to make his mark on the selection of his team, it should and probably will be Edwards.

Teddy is a king gander play maker let him lead the NSW. GO TEDDY.PNG.❤❤

Doesn't matter which fullback you pick. If they pick half the penrith team like they have the past years we will lose because they make it about themselves and not the team, they dont get origin.

Love Teddy but his time is up. Edwards should be the NSW fullback.

Can’t believe this is even a question

If all the talk is about Edwards that takes the heat off the halves

Both amazing players and don't want to take anything away from Teddy but it needs to be Edwards he deserves it and so do the people of NSW.

Get edwards in the team if blue to win the series this year.

Last two years Tedesco wasn't playing as fullback, supposed to play but God knows what he was doing on the field

Teddy is in form and deserves his spot, teddy has so much experience, Dylan will get his chance in the next year or so when Teddy retires.

All this discussion about fullback position really means who should be picked. I believe the decision is self conclusive.

We need both. Without Cleary we need Teddys experience. Edwards to the wing.

No brainer. EDWARDS. He should have been there last year. Nothing against Teddy, & not a supporter of either club, but the only guides relevent with the recent Blues record, are form & combinations. I'm hoping Madge has the kahunas to go that way.

As a qlder, I love teddy, he's always so hard to pick and a dynamic player and I feel his experience in big gamers will trump Edwards. Teddy don't have alot of time left, at least let him go out with a bang

It is a tough decision for NSW Blues on who play as fullback James Tedesco or Dylan Edwards it all depends on who NSW Coach Michael Maguire selects when puts together his strong Blues lineup for State of Origin 1.

Get rid of Teddy, he is done. Get the fastest NSW born fullback in first grade.

Edwards should have been picked 2 years ago. Its about the type of footy you want to play not the best players in those positions. look how well that worked against QLD worst team and NSW strongest team. NSW needs players like Cameron McInnis not a debate over Teddy or Edwards.

A new coach isn't going to sack the captain and incumbent fullback. He'll at least give him an opportunity to show he should still be there, if NSW are 2 - 0 down thats the perfect time to bring Edwards or another FB in and then start next years series without Teddy. If Madge picks Edwards and NSW lose origin 1 and 2 Madge would have committed career suicide

Edward, Too and Critta back 3

These guys I think does not know anything abt selection. Dylon playing well in but can’t be picked over Tedesco bcz he performs at Origin level. Now they’re saying Latteral Mitchel can’t make it bcz of his poor performance at NRL level and yet he is the best player at Origin level. Sometimes it these guys who ruins the selection for our NSW team.

As a Queenslander, I would rather teddy 😬 Edward’s plays like a Queenslander every week.

Edwards fullback teddy centre.

Give Edwards the 1. He's in good form right now. I'd like Teddy to try playing the 9. He does it quite a bit for the Roosters, he'd be very dangerous from the play the ball. That's just my opinion.

The Blues don't really need a workhorse in their 1 per se, granted he'd be very good defensively but the Blues' problems were in generating opportunities (which is why Cody Walker worked so well in Game 3), the Blues' problems are in generating opportunities because their attack isn't creative enough to give QLD troubles and Edwards just doesn't fit there. Walker would just capitalise on the opportunities created (which is what he's very good at), but he's not the solution to the problem. If anything, it would be a really bad idea to put Edwards in there without changing the 6 or 7 because if you chuck him in there and their 6 or 7 don't do anything good, then Edwards could cop the blame as the "saviour" but then end up losing confidence in his game.

To answer the question, yes, Teddy's time is up, it was up in 2022. Edwards not entering the team is just another chapter of Fittler absolutely squandring NSW players. Not playing Wighton at 5/8 and Latrel at center consistently in their peak was so stupid. DCE wouldnt be playing origin now if they did. Playing Nicolcockstag instead of Ferguson in game one at Suncorp was stupid. Turbo last year, stupid, then Cook instead of Murray to fill in, FFS. Last year seeing the Hammer gleefully frolicking past Teddy, falling over for the thousandth time was the kick in the guts after the wake up call we all already heard, except Freddy He should not have been allowed to be coach under one of his earlier policies which denied Mitchel, what a tool. We are definitely underdogs this year for the first time since before Freddy.

People here stuck on Edwards and Teddy debate, Madge with all those ex players influence and some crappy combination club combination bs will pick a team full of pretenders and show pony. Origin win or lose depends on defence not who can play more flashy, picking players out of position, picking certain players in the name of club combination, not picking certain players because they've never played together or might play same side of the field, both left footed kicker or right footed, all these just myths and the reason we're losing series after series
