2012 NSW soo side..

[Spot On]

Monumental upset, are you for real? Last year's series was the closest for years, no reason whatsoever why this year won't be the same

QLD led 30 - 10 in the 63rd minute of Game 3. Not close at all.

 

[betcats]

Matt King to right-centre.

Fullback - Stewart
Wings - Uate, Morris
Centres - King, Lawrence
Five-eighth - Carney
Halfback - Pearce
Pivot - Ennis
Front-rowers - Snowden, Learoyd-Lahrs
Second-rowers - Lewis, Bird
Loose-forward - Gallen

Interchange - Gidley, Merrin, Woods, Williams

No way, NSW stopped picking by hairstyles when Idris didnt work out.

After NSW won game 2 and let a golden chance slip in game 1. We'll see this year whether or not we learnt anything from the opening 30 minutes of the 2011 decider

We led Game 1 with 7 minutes to go. We hold our defensive line better. Slater never scores that try we would have had Game I in the that. I think we still lacked Self belief then. If anything they got it back in Game II.

I think we lack leadership that when we get in these game winning positions, we don't have a senior ball player who can seal the game with good decision making. When Ennis (Game 1, 2011) kicked the ball early in the tackle count straight to Slater so QLD started their set on our halfway mark, that wouldn't of happened if we had a guy like Lockyer/Thurston calling the shots.

f**kin Morris

I guess with Hayne and Gordon both in doubt we have little choice but still..

Wish we still had Hopoate!

What about Joseph Leilua? named in the emerging squad and seems like a decent player.

Ennis gave QLD that game. Two players drew in to grab the ball and take the hit-up instead he kicks right down their throats. Leadership or not you don't do it in a position like that. Get the meters make them have to work harder hold defense and we win the game.

Hopefully having Gallen/Lewis is a strong leadership combo. Even if we get as far to say Buderus/Manah as well.

 

[RWB]

You do realise that Lyon and Williams/Foran are on different sides of the field right?

Haha true massive mind blank #-o

Since he made the decision not to play origin he's been dead to me

Hopefully upon Hoppa's return he's still the same player. He will be a step-in for Origin instantly. The kid's a gun.

I still think Leilua has a while to go.

Unfortunately I think we will see something like this.

1. Dugan (Bar-Injury)/Stewart
2. Morris
3. Morris
4. Jennings/Lawrence
5. Uate

Urghh......I don't like it.

 

[RWB]

Leilua makes too many poor defensive reads in the centres, would get raped in origin. Good backrow prospect though.

 

[RHCP]

Has Dugan's injury put him in doubt for Origin I?

 

[Dragon2010]

If "all" goes well he should be back 1-2 weeks before Origin. Whether it's enough time for him to settle in and get back into football we can only wait.

 

[Tigger Madness]

Who the hell do we have that can play five eighth?

Cant think of anyone in form at the moment

You obviously have not watched Maloney this season..... :crazy:

He is looking the best thus far but if Soward stays solid I think Stuart wil stick with Soward for loyalty and consistency.

 

[hutch]

Hayne has to be there if fit. He is consistently our best back in origin and when in form is by far the best fullback we have. He could do a job in the centres of nobody else steps up as well. Hopefully he gets over his injuries!

Maloney, Soward, at a stretch maybe Campese

I'd be more worried about the halfback spot than 5/8 though

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

Ennis, well I would have had Farah up until last Friday. Ennis' passing and running is good. Defence obviously. Shame Matt Ballin isn't from Sydney, and Cronk too.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Unless Hayne gets injured again, he will be back soon. Well before Origin.

 

[Dragon2010]

*fingers crossed* He's fit.

True, Maloney is the best the moment.

For some reason I just cant him getting selected...
