Over a week to the match but New South Wales have announced their team and how desperate do they look!

First they recall 31 year old Trent Barrett, now they've recalled 32 year old Brett Kimmorley to play alongside him meaning the Kimmorley-Barrett combination will be the oldest half-back pairing in State of Origin history.

They have also completly changed the pack bringing in Trent Waterhouse, Justin Poore, Josh Perry and Anthony Watmough aswell as Michael Jennings on the wing.

Full NSW team: Kurt Gidley (capt), Jarryd Hayne, Michael Jennings, Jamie Lyon, David Williams, Trent Barrett, Brett Kimmorley, Justin Poore, Michael Ennis, Josh Perry, Ben Creagh, Trent Waterhouse, Anthony Watmough.

Interchange: Brett White, Craig Wing, Glenn Stewart, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs.

I meant to put this on the Wigan board but never mind. It can stay here.

That'll explain why it hasnt been edited or deleted by now

the team u named has jennings in the centre with hayne and wolfie on the wings

yes jennings was injured . in the crntres now

If you had seen Kimmorley playing this season then you would understand why he has been called up.

Why Williams is on the wing still is beyond me.

because he has showed again . in the nrl games .he has a big ticka.he has go .8 changes to the blues team

Likely Queensland 17: B Slater, D Boyd, G Inglis, J Hodges, W Tonga, D Lockyer (c), J Thurston, S Price, C Smith, N Myles, A Harrison, S Thaiday, D Johnson. Interchange: K Hunt, M Scott, N Costigan, M Crocker.

lyons is out. josh morris in

Will NSW turn up this time?

More like, will QLD turn up and finally thrash us?

Have just found out that the game is being shown again on Setanta Ireland (sky 430) ....a few people didn't realise last time, so thought i would inform people in good time.

NSW were 4 points away in both games with 1 minute to go. Hardly not turned up.

However, I can see Queensland putting big score on in origin 3 if they click into gear in front of their own fans.

www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html I'm not surprised. I'm a mad Eels supporter and "No Spine" Lyon dogs us and now he has dogged his State. Send him back to St Helens I say. I rather see Morris there anyway at least he'll put 100% in plus he likes the UFC game on XBox.
