[Artiste]

NSW strong team, would have thought big Ola made the side, little surprised at Max King instead but I guess he’s in the team who’s top of the ladder

 

[Bazal]

Jeez that NSW Bench is bad...starting 13 good though, love the halves (as much as I wanted Luai to play so Moses stayed with Parra) but will be interesting to see if they really can play together in reality.

Edwards would wanna grow some hair in the next ten days

 

[Woody90]

Probably the best NSW team for a while. Robson over API is still criminal though. Leniu lucky too.

 

[yobbo84]

10 of the 17 from teams 11th or lower on the ladder.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Gee those roosters are unlucky poor bastards.

Have 5 players picked for origin.

And have to play before origin match

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Probably the best NSW team for a while. Robson over API is still criminal though. Leniu lucky too.

Api, May and Keoni just proved form doesn’t matter

 

[Woody90]

Gee those roosters are unlucky poor bastards.

Have 5 players picked for origin.

And have to play before origin match

The adversity!

 

[MKCS]

Anyone know when the QLD side gets selected? Excited to see if young Toia gets selected.

 

[Bazal]

They think that's bad, f**ken Loz has picked Parra's entire team FFS!

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

dunno about max king, but looks p good

glad trell got picked

 

[mozza91]

Pretty good side over all. The rumoured QLD team is rubbish. I’m sure NSW can find a way to lose though.

[King hit]

As a NSW man I’m relieved Billy didn’t pick the hammer at the back or a Munster/Dearden combo.

 

[JamesRustle]

So, a big thanks to Murray Taulagi for taking the Jurbo decision out of Laurie's hands... and then taking himself out of game 1.

 

[Bazal]

Plenty of plod this year.

In a sick way it might make Origin watchable again

 

[Valheru]

The adversity!

It's a legitimate gripe

At least they gave us pseudo byes with knights and tigers.

 

[Woody90]

It's a legitimate gripe

No it’s not.

 

[Valheru]

No it’s not.

Yes it is

 

[Munky]

Surprised so many Panthers were picked.

They've looked shadows of their former selves this season and don't look fit.
