Cody Walker for sure. Wighton and Cleary would offer very little. Cleary shines when he is paired with a creative number 6. Walker first, Luai second choice. Wighten...no
Luai for his Cleary combo. He is playing outstanding footy. The only issue is his defense in particular on the line where Wighton would be the better choice. He wont have Kikau but likely will have Turbo so they will be hard to stop.
Luai has been excellent, 1 try and 11 TAs my only concern is he has had no adversity to deal with, at the Panthers it’s all smooth sailing, unlike Origin so we’re not sure how he will fare against an Origin bash. Cody Walker has 6 Tries and 9 Try Assists, the stats speak for themselves – he playing very well this season, a mix of brilliant tries (2 against Easts), support play, kicking and try assists keeps defenders wondering- unfortunately he has been filling in at FB the last 3 games, otherwise when he was at 6 he was the stand-out 5/8th combining with Reynolds and Mitchell it was the best spine in the game (v Melbourne there was no Reynolds, no Mitchell and Walker was FB) otherwise I think he would have had a perfect score sheet. Wighton, hasn’t been playing to his best this season (2 Tries and 4 TAs), nothing too memorable in his highlights reel except for scoring a try under obstruction. Difficult to say he has been anywhere as good as Walker or Luai this season.

Why no love for Luke Brooks? He's a quality half and he's on the amount of coin a rep player would receive!

Lui will dominate if the Blues can open the game up. But Wighton will be more useful if the game is a grind...

Wighton for me.

nsw would be idiots to pick Luai , not when theres so many fullbacks available to play 5/8, next you will be picking centres.

I’d love then to go with the ‘cohesion’
no one in particular

these guys haven't been close to getting it right since Fittler has been coach. They had Wade Graham at 5/8 a few years ago ahead of Wighton

Wighton looks like a different player to prior years in the raiders matches I've seen.

so Cody Walker's out of the equation?
