State of Origin - Bondi Style

[Monk]

Can't remember if this has been done before, but who do you think would win if the best Roosters players of the State-of-Origin era went head to head as a part of their respective states?

Who would be on the QLD/NSW teams?
Obvs Freddie and Artie would be the captains for each.

Discuss.

Using players who played SOO (1980-present) as an Easts representative - neither completes a team.

What about Myles and Harrison? Surely there are more then that.

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Haha I forgot about them tbh especially that nuffy Harrison

[H.H]

Dave Brown for QLD too.

For NSW, you could make some positional switches by putting Ruicko and Fereddy in the centres and Finch to 5/8. Or Anasta for that matter....

[fowlster]

Brett Mullins could maybe slot into the centres for NSW.
EDIT : Chuck Anasta into the centres as well. Just to piss him off.

For QLD, the pillow, Harrison, Myles, and Chris Walker at fullback (lol) would be close to a full team ....

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Mullins didn't play origin with us. I only went with those represented for us but having any player who made SOO that played for us would be better team. I'd be curious to see an Australian and particularly Kiwi team.

[Monk]

Put Pearce in the centres with Anasta?
