2012 NSW soo side..

[grouch]

Agreed, Lawrence has been terrible. Would struggle to make the City team. In fact I have Colin Best ahead of him for City's left centre jersey

 

[hutch]

Lawrence is down on form and shouldn't get picked for origin, but to compare him to colin best is ridiculous! Best single handedly kept the cowboys in the game against the sharks, he has been terrible in a good cronulla team!

Do you honestly believe Hayne isn't a lock to be there somewhere?

 

[watatank]

Hayne might not be there. He wasn't in Game 1 last year and only came in after a few players withdrew.

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

Hayne did a good enough job last year, but hes not a centre and it won't be long before QLD will start targeting him in defence. For mine the front runners are still 3. Jennings 4. Lawrence with J. Morris an outsider and Tahu a further outsider. Lawrence may not have the form right now but we were saying the same thing about Jennings last year and he turned in a blinder and totally outclassed Gasnier.

 

[dragons__]

Hayne should be in there, but its just a matter of where: fb, centre or wing?

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

It has to be Fullback, which means the next coming weeks will be crucial for his selection and he will benefit from the fact Dugan is currently out injured but theres also Stewart who is also in strong contention. Hayne's attacking abilities will be pretty much wasted on the wing, he's a good finisher just like any good winger but he will have too few ball playing opportunities.

 

[Vic Mackey]

lawrence has been shocking this year, however the last 3-4 years he should have been playing origin

 

[Yosh]

I'll have a go:

1. Stewart
2. Uate
3. Hayne
4. Tahu
5. McManus

6. Mullen
7. Soward

8. Snowden
9. Buderus
10. Weyman
11. Lewis
12. Scott (Soward needs some protection)
13. Gallen

14. Kidley
15. Merrin
16. Bird
17. TLL/Mannah

 

[Vic Mackey]

you forgot houston and hilder

 

[Yosh]

Oh also I wanna see Tony Williams get a run!

 

[Fordy20]

Oh also I wanna see Tony Williams get a run!

Since when does Tony Williams play for Newcastle?

 

[Raider_69]

I'll have a go:

1. Stewart
2. Uate
3. Hayne
4. Tahu
5. McManus

6. Mullen
7. Soward

8. Snowden
9. Buderus
10. Weyman
11. Lewis
12. Scott (Soward needs some protection)
13. Gallen

14. Kidley
15. Merrin
16. Bird
17. TLL/Mannah

hahah, funny guy

 

[Tommy Smith]

T-Rex won't have played for two months so can't be considered IMO.

1. Josh Dugan
2. Akuila Uate
3. Michael Jennings
4. Jarryd Hayne
5. Brett Morris
6. Todd Carney
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Paul Gallen (c)
9. Danny Buderus
10. Kade Snowden
11. Luke Lewis
12. Mitchell Aubusson
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Trent Merrin
15. Tom Learoyd-Lahs
16. Tariq Sims
17. Kurt Gidley

Lewis, Aubusson, Stewart and Sims would be able to cause QLD all sorts of problems with their hole-runnings and creativity.

For me Aubusson is a must. Maybe it's because im a Roosters fan but he's the best hole-running backrower in the game. And he'd make the transition to rep football easily as well.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Snowden: what am I missing?

 

[Parra Pride]

T-Rex won't have played for two months so can't be considered IMO.

So Williams can't play because he has been suspended for 7 weeks yet the bloke who spent a hefty amount of time on the sidelines with a broken leg should get picked?

 

[Rod]

Snowden: what am I missing?

Every Knights game this year except maybe the Dragons game.

 

[timka4]

I don't think Snowden is ready enough to be thrown back into origin, been great for us at club, but he was average in his 2 appearances in origin before.

 

[Pazza]

Snowden isn't a rep player!
