I'm pretty happy with that team. Not so sure about Bmoz though.

 

[AL The Tiger]

No Paul Vaughn or De Belin in the side… Bummer. They would have gone good

 

[Sabre]

Needed Vaughan and De Belin imo but a good side regardless.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Surprised Vaughan missed out

 

[Tacky]

How did Trbojevic get a call up ahead of Vaughan? We need 2 props on the bench, not 2 backrowers. I just noticed that. Also, Cordner with the C, which is a good move.

 

[ALX22]

Quality back rowers. Surprised no Boyd or Vaughan. Much stronger depth coming through for NSW which is worrying for QLD.

 

[Sabre]

Origin time won't be as fun on here without Happy Tiger either.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

I did laugh that some Qld commentators were calling for the inclusion of Sims (Gerringong NSW) and Jarrod Wallace (Coffs Harbour NSW) in the Qld team. I guess it follows on from the selection of Greg Inglis from Bowraville Qld!

James Roberts' papers must be marked never to rep, whether its because hes playing for a QLD club, or its just because he's a flog…Id say its the former, because Fafita, Hayne, Fergo and klemmer made the team

I wonder if Woods and Tedesco would have played for us last Friday night had Originn selection not come up ?

Irrespective I am glad Woods didn't get the captaincy and consider Tedesco fortunate to be there given his form this year.

I have no doubt Woods cost himself any chance he had at being Captain due to how professionally he handled himself throughout his contract negotiations.

Imagine James Roberts & JAC playing together for NSW.

I think Roberts has improved himself alot and deserves a shot in origin, the chances are that Dugan will get (fake) an injury then suddenly a centre spot is up for grabs.

As you said, we have a number of grubs in our team - why not pick 1 more.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Woods could've easily missed selection considering Vaughans form.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Good side that will be in with a great shot. Need Vaughan on the bench or at least de Belin, they seem to be a prop short for mine.

Laurie Daley has opened up about the snubbing of the in-form Paul Vaughan, saying that he lacked the consistency needed to be picked for rep footy.

"I think it's about being able to produce consistent football over a period of time. Paul is a guy who is playing good footy at the moment, but we need him to do it for a period and continue to do it over on the Origin arena," Daley said.

"All the other guys who got picked in front of him deserved to be here.

"We've always wanted plenty of depth. Now that the team's picked, I hope everyone gets behind us and supports us."
