NSW Potential 2014 Side

Hasn't Lyon vowed not to play rep footy again? Besides which I thought the Morris boys were fine tonight, and apart from that one (ridiculously dumb) fumble, McManus exceeded expectations.

Does anyone know why Lyon won't play rep footy ?

Requested to retire so he wouldn't have to be away from his young family for an extended period, but had his rep retirement request blocked and was picked anyway (and from memory was told if he was picked and refused to play he'd have to stand down for manly in the coming week anyway), which was completely ridiculous and that kind of thinking is why Bellamy was diabolical as NSW coach. When Sticky became coach he told him that he didn't want to play because he was sick of the criticism he copped, since Sticky actually understood origin football he decided not to select him.
 
Don't change the Halves. Everyone whinges about Pearce but he is a better choice than A Reynolds as he chokes in big games. In fact, don't change anything, let them build combinations together by consistently playing together. If we keep changing things around we will be starting from scratch again.
1\. Dugan
2\. Hayne
3\. Morris
4\. Jennings
5\. Morris
6\. Maloney
7\. Pearce
8\. Woods or Grant (depending on 2014 form)
9\. Farah
10\. Tahmoa
11\. Bird
12\. Lewis
13\. Gallen

14\. Fifita (long minutes)
15\. Cordner
16\. Merrin
17\. Watmough

18\. McManus (Dugan and Hayen always get injured so McManus will be a handy backup)
 
1\. Jarryd Hayne
2\. Brett Morris
3\. Michael Jennings
4\. Josh Morris
5\. Will Hopoate

6\. James Maloney
7\. Todd Carney

8\. Andrew Fifita
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. James Tamou
11\. Luke Lewis
12\. Greg Bird
13\. Paul Gallen

14\. Boyd Cordner
15\. Anthony Watmough
16\. Trent Merrin
17\. Ryan Hoffman

I wonder if Robbie will be cut considering they placed blame for the series loss at him over-playing his hand???

If they give him a decent halves pairing capable of putting some points on the board, he won't have to try and do it all himself.
 
1\. Dugan
2\. Hayne
3\. Jennings
4\. Morris
5\. Ferguson

6\. Sutton
7\. Pearce

8\. Grant
9\. Farah
10\. Woods
11\. Lewis
12\. Bird
13\. Gallen

14\. Cordner
15\. Watmough
16\. Merrin
17\. Fifita
 
Overconfidence tends to bring sides down in Origin. Wasn't that long ago NSW would claim QLD were going to be easy beats every year too. Swings and roundabouts.

Bloody long roundabout LaT

Guess you have been trotting that one out for a long time now
 
I don't focus too heavily on NSW selections but even I know Pearce should not be handed a Jersey. People say a Reynolds chokes. You guys didn't catch the GF I assume? Same story in most of his origin games…

Carney or Reynolds partnering Maloney

Wish we could poach foran. I wouldn't even mind as a kiwi if it won us the series but realistically I think we might be looking at 9 straight... Screw GI and papallii
 
You won't be looking at 9 straight, you will experience it.
It's just unfortunate that NSW had a poor generation of players come through when QLD had such a brilliant one.
Well have some retirements after this series and that should square the ledger again but 2014 will be a flogging.

So after decades you finally admit underdog status..

There is a major problem with this thread

To have a potential side , you need potential :roll

And there is a difference , having the underdog status means you have some chance

You blokes are a 100-1 with two games in Brisbane

Hard to disagree … I always said with Stuart and Daley as coach and with Fulton picking the team .... The Blues would never win a series.
