Woods should be no where near the team, he is absolutely awful.
Jackson should not be in the team, another bog average pick.
Brett Morris, not sold, hopefully proven wrong.

Vaughan should be in over Woods.
Ryan James over Jackson, with Jake Turbo at lock and James to the bench.

Not sure who you would pick over Morris with Tom Turbo out. Daniel Tupou is in good form, James Roberts has played wing before.

They almost got it right. Maloney thanking his lucky stars he has a name because he has been ordinary.

We could have picked a forward pack that would've run over the top of QLD's.

We've picked a forward pack half baked.

I would've gone with this

Andrew Fifita
Nathan Peats
Paul Vaughan
Boyd Cordner
Wade Graham (ball playing forward)
Jake Trbojevic ( Gal clone at lock)

Tyrone Peachey (utility) Can play in the centres, hooker, halves & backrow
David Klemmer
Tyson Frizzell
Ryan James

This pack would have the Queenslanders changing their undies.

Taumalolo, Hess, Gilette are all better than Jackson and Lewis.
Jackson is as over-rated as Aaron Woods, has arguably the worst Origin performance by a forward by a long shot.

Taulalolo has been a liability in defense since day dot. Only this year has got up to 80 minute performances, that are still less than all the ones playing for NSw plus lewis plus gallen. Even last week with the commentators pulling their grand prix over him after that break, out comes beefeater to completely outclass him

NSW best chance is a power game.

Woods is a plodder with a media rep. Vaughan incredibly unlucky. If he performs in the semis (assuming they make it) he will be a must.

Jackson doesn't suit a power game but Sterlo is a massive fan. Jake T isn't much chop running the footy but has excellent defensive technique.

Surely this is Pearce's last go around?
I know NSW halves may be up and down but not going to get anywhere if you don't try someone new.

Pearce has been ordinary in Origin in the past. But his form at Club football this year has been excellent.

Hopefully he can finally make the step up this year.

On a side note (from the existing side note) - has anyone had the misfortune to tune in to Queenslanders' only on Fox......Greatest self-indulgent circle-jerk in living history!
