we win around 90% of our games.

who out of that NSW team would you pick over the Q'land players? Maybe Ennis on the bench but then I'd struggle unless you waste Hayne out on the wing in place of Boyd.

if it were being picked today hardly any

by the time the grand final comes around and with souths, parra and the dragons looking strong, as with the panthers, they will get lots of players in.

most of em' are bloody kiwis at souths and parra...the good ones anyway

there will be enough nswrl players to ensure yet another Roos victory of england

<yawn>

Why do Queensland bother playing NSW when they win so easily every year? Surely they'd do better putting together a team of islanders, Kiwis and Brits and playing them instead.....they could call it "Other Nationalities".

before this run nsw won 4 series in a row.

im guessing youve only been following origin for 5 years or less

otherwise your post would be really stupid

=#8040FFOr he's been sarcastic in a manner mocking the people who say the same things about England v France

haha a few years ago they were saying origin was dead when NSW won 4 in a row, now the shoes on the other foot!

Got it wrong there, Qld won in 2002, so that makes it only 3 in a a row, they have never won 4 in a row.

think it was 3 and a draw wasn't it? (bit like a USA 1-1 win!)

a draw goes to the team that won the previous year

4 in a row

Correct, however the 2002 draw actually followed a Queensland win, so Queensland retained the title that year. NSW then won it in 03, 04 and 05. They also won 3 in a row in 92, 93 and 94. They've never won 4 in a row despite their 90s dominance.

You'd think ockers would know these things, but let's recap, with the disputed series in bold and in pretty colours for the ockers.

I always said England would struggle to beat the two origin sides but tbh I think we'd be too powerful for NSW

NO NO NO




your not allowed to say that!

I'm not to sure about that,if they played anywhere near their best 17 they would beat us i reckon.

doubt it, their pack is woeful and their half backs non existant.

Our forward pack competes with the aussie pack on most occasions. Remove the Qld players (Cam Smith especially) and that NSW pack would struggle. As good as Hayne is, when your pack's being steamrollered you struggle. They've still probably got better backs which is a shame but the pack would be steam rollered imho

nah nsw would still do it

gus gould is interested in coaching nsw again so i expect a much different nsw side next year

our backline should be :

hayne, lyon & gasnier, tahu and morris, pearce at 7

either carney or campese at 6

1. Hayne
2. Merrit
3. Jennings
4. Gasnier (if he comes back ok)
5. Morris
6. Bird
7. Pearce

still no where near as good as Q'lands back line though

with gould as coach queensland are beatable

and lyon for jennings, and tahu for merrit, its good enough

the queensland forward pack is nothing special.

Yeah!

I think England should dig Maurice Bamford back up as well!

Yesterdays men!

How so?

Is it because that's the only thing he's won since 1991?

most succesful nsw coach ever.

it just seems that bellamy isnt origin material

lots of good club coaches have struggled at origin
