No but Luke Lewis and Greg Bird can cover those positions, why have a bench utility when you have two utilities in the starting line up? I feel that if you have a couple of those players in the starting side you should have some size and impact on the bench, Buhrer provides neither.

Someone needs to tell parra that the game doesnt start after 70 minutes.

Not the worst NSW team I have seen but it could of been better. I like the spine but there are some players I dont understand why they are there. Hayne, Jennings, Creagh and Buhrer are the one's I am a bit baffled about. I would of went: B Morris > Hayne Lawrence > Jennings Prop > Creagh Sims...

Bennett has his own style. I think he places a lot of emphasis on fitness and at times that can drain players out. If Newcastle are still struggling this time next year then yeah there may be an argument that it has been more about the rosters then his coaching. I must say he has made some...

I think the 1990s NSW side would beat the current QLD one, or come very very close. We had creativity with Stuart, Johns, Fittler and Daley. A tough brutal pack that could defend for long periods, plus NSW greatest ever Origin coach. Whilst the current QLD side is one of the best ever, the...

"Battle stations" and "the reception committee" were other Costigan favourites. And I still remember him going 'Guttenbiel OHHHHHHHHH cop that! Cop that big time!!!!' I didnt like Costigan at first but I gotta say I came around to him later on, his enthusiasm was infectious. I remember him...

I vaguely remember hearing about this guy. I had a look and found this article about what happened: The Bizarre Tale of Greg Smith > Making The Nut Rugby League 2009 > Date: 17/02/2009 > It has been nearly a full decade since Greg Smith played first grade rugby league. Smith played only one NRL...

Yeh he had a horror night under the high ball if I remember correctly. I think Laurie Daley in his Origin debut had a shocker, missed a conversion from almost in front.

I know its not club level but Justin Hodges Origin debut back 2002 where he gifted NSW 2 tries in his own in goal. Nothing better then seeing him crying as he got replaced haha.

Will be there too, and probably hit up Wests leagues afterwards :wink: On a sidenote, ANOTHER Broncos Friday night game!

Not in my books. The Blues targeted him and he tackled himself to a standstill because he wasn't used to the workload, it blunted QLD's attack completely. I think QLD only scored two tries and one of them was a late consolation. They shifted him back to his normal position after that 1 game.

Also Karmichael Hunt at 5/8 over Scott Prince and Cooper Cronk in an Origin match when Lockyer was out injured.

Mark Gasnier selected at 5/8 for a NSW origin decider back in 2006. With Craig Gower his halves partner it set us on the path to where we are now :frowning:

I want players with impact and points! My NSW side: 1\. Dugan 2\. B Morris 3\. Lawrence 4\. J Morris 5\. Uate 6\. Carney 7\. Pearce 8\. Gallen 9\. Farah 10\. Galloway 11\. Watmough 12\. Lewis 13\. G Stewart 14\. Sims 15\. Williams 16\. Woods 17\. Tamou Luke Lewis can play the utility role...

He just said he believes that Jennings and Morris should be the centres for NSW because Lawrence is out of form. I know Lawrence isn't setting the world alight but Jennings has just been dropped for poor form!

It's on Firefox too, well the one that I use lol

I think it is pretty good on this forum compared to other places. I must admit though, when I first got the internet when I was in my teens about 6 years ago (Yeah my family was late coming into the World Wide Web), I did speak 'lyk dis' for a bit, don't ask me why, I think it was because I...

I heard one from him tonight when Dave Taylor feigned being treated by the trainer, only to get up and sprint to the line: "Chris O'Sullivan did that, he did that in the 1987 Grand Final vs Melbourne…. er I mean Manly"

Looks like he turned the bleeding obvious into something bloody confusing :laughing:

Not only that but I can virtually guarantee that the next 1-2 weeks will be all about Ennis. Maybe it wont hurt if he does something like this just to keep his name in the papers later in the week.
