"well we thought that we'd go back to basics and try and turn this QLD team around by hitting at their weak spot"

Except for 7c/l a full strength side.
Am I right in saying that they go against their principles to pick Folau but they uphold their principles and not pick Lote?
Hypocrites.

the perfect word sums it up …HYPOCRITES

Vs My team

Dugan, Morris, Morris, Jennings, Uate, Bird, Pearce, Snowden, Farah, Mannah, Gallen, Laffanchi,Heghno Int Soward, Douglas, Thurling, Ryles..
 
so u leave hayne out who has been NSw best player last 2 series for a unknown quantity in dugan who is great but not worthy off knocking out hayne
 
Hayne is a sook,,,,,over-hyped prima dona who should have been suspended for his cowardly act on poor ole Billy Slater….

But we couldn't have Origin screwed for Ch 9 could we.....

Hayne V Slater,,Round 2...,Grub v Grub....Cat V Cat..God v Judas..Worth the price of admission alone....
 
My team would have been:

1\. Hayne
2\. B. Morris
3\. Jennings
4\. Lawrence
5\. Tahu
6\. Barrett
7\. Pearce
8\. Weyman
9\. Ennis
10\. Snowden
11\. Hindmarsh
12\. O'Donnell
13\. Gallen

14\. Farah
15\. Waterhouse
16\. Learoyd-Lahrs
17\. Mannah
 
so beau scott is one of the best centres in nsw, better then morris jennings lawrence champion hell he pushed tahu to the wing, what a joke the only thing that concerns me is that when NSW lose this game, and trust me they will lose it easily, laurie daley is the most likely coach of the team next.

they have totally over looked form this year and picked failed players IMO the only players that deserve their spots are:
morris
hayne
gallen

the rest of the team can thank their lucky stars the nsw selectors are borderline mentaly deficeint

yes the backline has no defence in the centres….. awesome if your name is greg inglis, plus no back up hooker utility And the captain been dropped altogether even though nsw were at there best when kidley and hayne slotted into the halves for the last 3 -4 mins of the game
 
no props on the bench… and they picked Hindmarsh.. now whats the point of having him on the bench? if the argument is hes a 80 mins player he will offer NOTHING off the bench and I love how the exuse last year was for not picking Soward, that he had to play more big games.. yet they picked Pearce did they not with a handful of first grade games?? they make up BS as they go along the selectors

Kurt Gidley is rubbish. They only looked better because Hayne went to fullback. The fact that he is captain in the first place is a joke.

The "Michael Jennings can't tackle" line is an absolute myth. He is not a bad defender. Not in the top defenders, but not so terrible that he should be overlooked. He did nothing wrong last year, and has not done much wrong this year, yet they picked that media magnet, fat, dreadlocked blimp instead of him for game one. Ridiculous.

Beau Scott could not score in a brothel. He has zero impact with ball in hand. And no player, I don't care how good they are in defence, will stop Inglis if he is having a good day.
 
These NSW selectors are idiots. What scares me is their lack of a "plan" or "vision" for the side. They just keep picking one crap side after another. How do they get it so wrong? From memory, I cant think of a period in SOO football where such average players have been selected.

Well…at least I picked players that are available as if the game was next week...don't know how you can have the DNA freak or Lewis in your team.....

If that's Ok ...then Lewis replaces Laffranchi.....

Your team wouldn't be able to score enough points....

6\. Barret
7\. Pearce
8\. Snowden
9\. Farah
10\. Weyman
11\. Hindmarsh
12\. Heighington
13\. Gallen

14\. Gidley
15\. Douglas
16\. Learoyd-Lahrs
17\. Mannah

dunno geo, tht backline has about 40 tries or so in the nrl this year plus lawry has set up alot of lotes tries this year him and B morris could form a lethal left hand combo for NSW and jennings and J mo on the other side is just as good, NSW selectors have to look to the future not the past
 
Im stoked…..not one tiger in the BS exhibition game......all our blokes are gonna be fresh and ready to rumble,while the "STARS" have to back up.

Gold......
