Given we've lost the last 4 series there should be no favouritism shown for incumbents.
New year, new era, new team
5 series Fraze, 5….. Go Queensland!!!

@Captain Awesome said:@steve-o said:argh! i just know the nsw team is gonna have way too many st george players… morris, scott, weyman, creagh n now young. honestly the only one id have would be weyman. just coz bennett talks them all up doesnt mean they r good enough for origin!!! n ricky stuart pull ur head in. this is the bloke that wanted pearce as captain at aged 21\. he is a deadset clown. for hooker id have **farah, ennis, de gois, then young.**
I'd also throw in Kevin Kingston
@Bazzinator said:young wont even play hooker for dragons this year so how can you pick him for nsw there. i wouldn't though mind him on the bench as the utility rather than gidley
@tiger05 said:Farah was pretty poor at SOO and he has a couple of critical errors / lapses in judgement in him every couple of games. He also has the ability to create opportunities and he can win games for his team. If he gets rid of the poor options he is probably the best hooker in the game. I think NSW have to give him a fair go because he is a player who could turn around NSW's run of losses.
I would pick Farah at 9 Hayne at 6 Dugan at 1 and probably Carney at 7\. The biggest question is Hayne at 6 but in my opinion he needs to be in a key position.
Stuart is a terrible coaching option for NSW. He often comes across as a moron in the media, he comes across as a terrible coach and to top it off I doubt he has any idea how to pick a team that can win. I would not be surprised if he chooses a team of backrowers and instructs them to hit it up the guts on every play.
@tig_prmz said:I'm not bagging the thread owner but is there any evidence that Ricky actually said that? Please forgive if I may have missed something.
Also, if Ricky did say that, it's one of the most stupid things for a coach to speak about team selections in public months before the Origin. But, if Robbie hears this, hopefully he takes motivation from this so much that he makes it impossible for the Blues to overlook him.
@smeghead said:Anyone else read the Foxsports article this morning by Daley that Gidley is a victim of NSW's poor form and has to be in the squad?
What an utter n00b
@Goose said:i like your idea trying to get Dugan in, however, hayne at 6 is not an option, He played there in 09 for parra, and was a disgrace.
I think that in the modern game, wing is a fairly key spot, and Hayne's best spot in origin. I think he is a little lazy off the ball for fullback. With the ball in hand best in the game, but that is only 5% of the time.
As for young at hooker, i cant believe that, Saints look ordinary until Priddis or Fein take over at dummy half. Young is a good backrower.
I hate the assumption that niggling players and tough players are suited to origin, it is a myth, quality players are suited to origin, especially in the key spots!
