We're bad enough without it, no need to get any worse.
I think the selectors may have tried it before naming this team though?

Carney will replace Kimmorley if we lose 1 and/or 2\. If he had played a one decent game at half since Pearce got injured he would/should have been picked

No, NSW will do what they always do and pick another stable boring halves "safe option". Barrett and Anasta are the front runners..
Matt Cooper in the centres ? He`s been tried and done sfa in plenty of SOO games of the past, why would it change now ??? Micheal Jennings and Josh Morris are two of the best attacking footballers in the game, how they are overlooked is an absolute disgrace. Kurt Gidley a better fullback than Jarryd Hayne, the selectors must be watching something very different to what I am. One word sums up that side, BORING !!!

Awful awful awful side. The way I see it, the Qld backline will score at least 20 points in a match. They pick that kind of attack. We are picking a side that's going to try and hold them to 10, which won't happen, they have too much brilliance. With that, our attack is dreadful. Apart from Morris, where do they tries come from? I can see the Qld side cracking 20 points, I can't see this NSW side cracking 10, unless the forwards really dominate. Watmough and Hayne need to play better than they did last year. If not, we're in big trouble. Hopefully they learn after game 1 not to pick horses for courses, and go with more attack.

Todd Carney should have been in the side somewhere.
I wouldve went:
1\. Dugan - The kid has guts, breaks tackles and can attack
2\. B Morris
3\. Lyon
4\. Jennings
5\. Hayne
6\. Carney (gk)
7\. Kimmorley
8\. Weyman
9\. Ennis
10\. Perry
11\. Gallen
12\. Watmough
13\. Lewis ©
14\. Waterhouse
15\. Snowden
16\. Douglas
17\. Creagh
Creagh or Waterhouse can easily come on and Lewis can shift to the halves or backline if needed, basically Lewis is the utility that Gidley normally is.

it all has to do with which club you play for how people cant see this it amazes me.st george and manly players always have and seemingly always will get selected.whereas penrith,parra wests tigers are under represented each year in state of origin.how jennings was overlooked fresh off his 3 try performance was an absolute joke.hayne wing pffft.hindmarsh hardly mentioned im still scratching my head over tahu though wtf.tahu has been a shadow of his former self this year.justin poore is no worse a player this year than he was last year but he no longer plays for the selector loved big red v.since going to manly josh perry was a darling as was the never to be used again hopefully brett kite.

yep pretty boring side, but did we honestly expect anything different?

Thats a pedestrian side at best. They should go well in the Masters games, given their average age of 38

Only chance of NSW winning with that side is if QLD start celebrating tomorrow and forget which day the game is on.
