2006 QLD SOO Side Based on this season

[edabomb]

He grew up with my mate, think he moved over when he was 16 or 17 so I'm fairly certain he'll stick with NZ.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Hunt played his junior footy in Australia though, Faiumu didn't and I think that's how Hunt is elligible (albeit riduculously) for QLD.

It will be interesting! I don't mind either way!

 

[bluesbreaker]

David Faiumu is a New Zealander - not a Queenslander.

Lol, when has that ever mattered?

 

[Red Bear]

Flannery should be there somewhere

 

[lotti]

Slater, the QLD selectors will have learnt their lesson.

Overrated as but it is out of Crocker or Flannery and I went for Crocker as he was a bit of a thug and you need those in Origin!

Another name for QLD will be Nate Myles, a great talent.

Queensland have a lot of props. In my side I have left out Nutley who I rate highly. That is a pretty strong area!

Hes a 2nd rower/prop, Artie Beetson wanted him in game 3 this year.
Huge wrap i say

 

[The_Coach]

Withstanding any injuries QLD should have an awesome team next year.

Their main problem will be picking between Prince and Thurston. No way Lockyer will play anywhere but 5/8th.

Plenty of centres to choose from. Could be any combination depending on early season form.

The only problem with QLD is they need to drop Thorn and Petro and get some mobility in the backrow to match NSW. Flannery, Crocker, Harrison, Stagg, Myles would be better options.

Anyway my team;

1. Slater
2. Williams
3. Berrigan/Tonga
4. Tate
5. Hodges
6. Lockyer
7. Prince/Thurston
8. Price
9. C. Smith
10. Nutely
11. Crocker
12. Flannery
13. Harrison
14. Civinoceva/Ross
15. Webb
16. Myles
17. McGuire/Marsh/Bowen/Berrigan(If not picked at centre)

 

[Twizzle]

based on this years form, you'd have to have Tait instead of Berrigan

 

[MrSharky]

1. Lockyer (c)
2. Bowen
3. Tate
4. Tonga
5. Williams
6. Thurston
7. Prince
8. Price
9. Smith
10. Nutley
11. Crocker
12. Thorn
13. Harrison

14. Ross
15. Webb / Civoniceva
16. Flannery
17. Payne

 

[taxidriver]

on past QLD selection policy, expect them to pick

Benji Marshall - eligible because he went to QLD for schoolies a few years back

Sonny Bill Williams - he shagged a QLD'er once

[Deleted member 10972]

1. Darren Lockyer
2. Ty Williams
3. Justin Hodges
4. Brent Tate/Paul Bowman
5. Billy Slater
6. Jonathon Thurston
7. Scott Prince
8. Steve Price
9. Cameron Smith
10. Petero Civoniceva
11. Chris Flannery (overrated? the guy is the most UNDERRATED player)
12. Michael Crocker
13. Ashley Harrison

14. Carl Webb
15. Ben Ross
16. PJ Marsh
17. Brad Thorn

Nate Myles, Matt Sing, Steven Bell, Danny Nutley, Travis Norton, & Jason Smith (yeh he's retired but hell, he'd be a great addition) are all unlucky to miss out.

 

[fourxman]

Chris Flannery is a good utility player because he is not a good player at any position

 

[lockyno1]

Even so queensland have Stagg, Johnson, Carroll, Harrison, etc as second rowers. Look he is a good player but all of those I would have over Myles!

 

[lockyno1]

11. Chris Flannery (overrated? the guy is the most UNDERRATED player)

Flannery does not do enough for a starting position. Either Dallas Johnson or David Stagg should get the starting no11. I believe Crocker is better on the bench. Flannery is a good utility but you don't need them when you have Price who can play 80mins and Stagg who can play 80 mins and Harrison who can do likewise. No need for another backrower along with Crocker on the bench!
