Johnsy - how can you pick Ricketson in the second row with Fitzgibbon at lock?

Im not saying that they couldnt play in those positions, but what tactical advantage do you expect to get from changing them from their (succesful) club positions?

I dont think the 17 players will come out of that 30, so ill go ahead with who i think should be there (at the moment)

1. Anthony Minichello
2. John Hopoate
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Shaun Timmins (purely for defence and to front up to carroll/hodges)
5. Hazem El Masri
6. Trent Barrett
7. Andrew Johns
13. Luke Ricketson
12. Ben Kennedy
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
10. Jason Ryles
9. Danny Buderus
8. Mark O'Meley

14. Jason Croker
15. Craig Fitzgibbon
16. Craig Wing
17. Willie Mason

Cheers,

My 17 would be

1. anthony minichiello
2. Hazem el masri
3. Jamie lyon
4. Mark Gasnier
5. Mick Devere
6. Trent Barret
7. Andrew Johns
8. Luke Bailey
9. Danny Buderus
10. Mark omeley
11 Craig fitzgibbon
12 Steve Simpson
13 Ben kennedy

14. Willy mason
15. Braith Anasta
16. Luke Davico
17 Jason Croker


sorry got a bit biased towards the end, i think croker is in good form and davico
deserves a sky blue jumper and will relish the oppurtunity.
Minichiellos form at full back cannot be ignored
Willy mason i think if given the chance would really tear apart the maroons
I dont think timmins should be in the squad but for some reason he will find himself there
I was undecided on a few selections these are just the ones i will go
with for now, my opinion will change no doubt in the next few weeks

Anasta should go back to Malabar and make his mum some tea. My wife despises him and she's a Doggies fan.

Wing is a much better player and only about twenty time faster than Anasta. I reckon Candice would give him a whippin'. Skirt......

If Hindy is fit, Croker would miss out and Frodo would get a run.

Are you saying that el masri and devere are only good for
kicking goals, silly me i thought they were 2 of the form wingers
running around, hey fitzgibbon is a kicker as well does that mean
he shouldnt get the nod cos joey will be the kicker.
You related to gus huh ;)

Hey my name is JoeD, not JoeG ;) Yes they are good wingers but I don't think they are the best that NSW have got. Mini for starters and replace him at full back with Peachey. You don't turn into a bad player over night and I think over the years he's earned his spot. I also think Hoppa has got a lot to offer as well. Tahu is inconsistent but can be devestatingat times.

Dont get me wrong i am far from admire the dogs but if you are
talking about ppl deserving spots in the side im sure el masri fits the
bill. Peacheys form hasnt been great and tahu i dont feel has been
up to his best. Of course this could all change which is why i stated
that this is the 17 i would go for at the present time. Origin is still
a while away, a lot of things could happen between now and then.
Seriously about hoppa, i would never rate him a rep player over the
3 wingers i have mentioned, just MHO

P.S if you think that minichiellos form at fullback is not the best
from the pick of the blues then you are kidding, hodgsons still
got time to get himself back into contention but for mine right
now mini is the best blues fullback running around ATM
