i've written off the whole series

 

[Dummy Spit Johns]

This bullsh*t from NSW "fans" giving it to their team disgusts me. Start making judgements after the game, this is still a very good team.

Nah mate!
I'm aiming my disgust at the selectors

 

[Shorty]

Well selectors aren't going to make everyone happy,selectors choose players who they think have got what it takes to win.
Whatever team Queensland names,I'll reserve judgment until after the game.

 

[Timmah]

You're hardly known for sticking by things tbh...

 

[Hutchy86]

I honestly think it's the best possible team they could have named..

 

[Syren]

Wow.. looks like QLD by plenty in Game 1...

 

[Syren]

I think Fitzgibbon will start for Mason and take the goal kicking duties.

Absoloutely, my thoughts exactly. Since Anasta can play in the backrow as well, I think this selection has something to do with goalkicking. Having said that, Fitzzy has been playing well.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Double

 

[wittyfan]

Shocking NSW team.

Even I have to admit Kite was robbed of his spot.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

I think Anasta to 5/8, Bird to lock, Gallen to the bench and Fitzy out would be a better team, well on attack atleast.

 

[Syren]

Shocking NSW team.

Even I have to admit Kite was robbed of his spot.

He might get it afterall if White/Cross is ruled out.

 

[Timmah]

Queensland - team named just after 2pm.

 

[Billythekid]

Shocking NSW team.

Even I have to admit Kite was robbed of his spot.

If any prop has been robbed it's ryles. I can only laugh at the selection of Brett white the teddy bear.

It would have to some sort or miracle for NSW to win with that team.

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

Just announced on Fox Sports News.

Hunt is the five-eighth.

 

[beave]

There's our clanger..............WTF are the selectors thinking??

 

[skeepe]

How can Scott Prince not be selected? Deary deary me

 

[NK Arsenal]

The QLDers are f**ked in the head.
