Look thats a terrible team, and I cant see how anyone could suggest otherwise.
For the last 3 years all NSW have been saying is how they need to be more like Qld in everything they do, from the bottom-up, blah blah blah. So what do they do... the one player who has actually played well for them in the last 5 losing series, and who was unanimously declared the best in the game only 2 years ago is dropped. For someone who has played about 3 games this year, most of which have been average at best. Wasnt everyone complaining that they need to pick a solid spine and just stick to it. I cant believe they would drop hayne, its almost the equivalent of qld dropping slater or hodges..
Secondly, Ennis. Seriously, how much say can the media possibly have in picking a team. He does about 75 interviews per week (yeah farah does quite a lot as well i guess) but i honestly struggle to find anyone that actually thinks hes a good football player (and while we're at it, anyone that thinks he isnt the worst human being in the entire planet) and yet presumably hes got another 3 games this year to add to his resume. Hes the least toughest player in the entire league...by a length, yet he gets picked for his "origin toughness" or whatever and is completely lacking in every other skill that is required to be a competent footballer. For f**ks sake, hes so bad. At least hoepfully farah will finally go back to just focusing on playing club footy rather than trying to weasel his way into the team.
Thirdly, King. What the f**k.
Fourthly, for those people saying, "hey at least its better than last year" or "at least players are playing in their proper positions".... bullshit. You lost last year 3-0...youd better f**king hope this team is better. And your front row has King, Ennis, Merrin.. when it could have had tolman, farah, TLL. I actually thought this week that NSW probably has the players this year to cause an upset and that I might have a look at the odds for a 2-1 NSW win... but with the f**king shit dished up tonight by stuart, its 3-0 Qld. Thurston , lockyer, smith, slater could almost beat that team on their own.
Ok I've vented some of my rage, and if NSW win ill definitely look like a goose...but f**k me that team sucks.
