Blues win series 2-1

Its the best NSW team Ive seen in a few years. Id definately go with Soward at 6 for them. He in field kicking is absolutely second to none, and they will need that to contain this QLD team.

I think NSW due for a win,they QLD can't win it 6 years in a row surely...

Michael Gordon is out for the season and Hodges is out for about 6 weeks. I'd have Dugan at FB and Hayne on the wing instead of Morris but i dont think they'll go that way. I also dont think Ben Creagh looks great at Rep level and i'd go with Lewis starting instead of him but he's only just back from injury and Creagh played for Aus and has been going well at the Dragons but who hasn't, i'd also pick Bird over Scott but i think Scott will start.

Ben Creagh looks great at Rep level - except for running away from a back.

to me that get's the NBSAiO (Never Be Selected Again in Origin).


You also have to look at who's coach - Ricky Stuart meaning a lot of the Cronulla Crew will get selected deservidly Douglas, Snowden and Gallen and not Bird.

NSW team named on Sunday for the first State of Origin rugby league match against Queensland on May 25 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane:-
Josh Dugan, Brett Morris, Michael Jennings, Mark Gasnier, Akuila Uate, Jamie Soward, Mitchell Pearce, Jason King, Michael Ennis, Kade Snowden, Beau Scott, Greg Bird, Paul Gallen (c). Interchange: Ben Creagh, Trent Merrin, Tim Mannah, Dean Young.


Fuck me dead!

Jennings instead of Idris????
Jason King????
No Luke Lewis????

Dugan for Hayne I could almost understand except Dugan still isn't fit and Hayne had a blinder last night. Tolman deserved picking. Lewis is better than every backrower there except Gallen.

Overall a terrible team that won't go close to beating Qld.

blues going to get hammered again with that team they picked

Dear god!! Hayne has been the only standout for the blues the last couple of years....no hayne, no lewis, no farah NO=VICTORY!!!!!!!
