NOTE: This thread is about "the team of the series" so picking the best players on this series alone. ive had alot of h8ers messaging me. i.e - you wouldnt justify slater as the fullback of the series even though hes better than slater if you get my drift

australian side based on state of origin performances only. also just pick guys in there position no altering guys to accomodate them etc.

1.brett stewart (NSW)
2.jarryd hayne (NSW
3.greg inglis (qld)
4.josh morris (Nsw) - hodges unlucky but morris/inglis were both insane.
5.darius boyd (qld) - in all honesty any 4 of the wingers who played tonight could be picked.
6.jonathon thurston (qld)
7.cooper cronk (qld)
8.james tamou (nsw)
9.robbie farah (nsw)
10.matt scott (qld)
11.nate myles (qld)
12.greg bird (nsw)
13.corey parker (Qld)

14.paul gallen (nsw)
15.tim grant (nsw)
16.sam thaiday (qld)
17.cameron smith (qld)

Lol you're off tap. Farah might have played himself onto the bench to take the spot Cronk used to have. If anything Tate just took Uate's spot and made the entire backline into the Qld one.

In fact the entire side is the Qld side except for Gallen, Tamou, Bird and Farah imo.

Farah ahead of Smith? Please both are ginormous wankers but Smith is the best footballer in the world for christsakes.

Nah Doogs what i was trying to do was create a thread "team of the series" accept i should of just wrote that instead of australian side based on this series. of course slater is going to be the fullback for australia but hypothetically he was poor this series and stewart i picked by default. i also thought farah outplayed smith but hypothetically we all know smith will be the 9 etc

Not sure they need a hooker on the bench which counts out Farah. I think the Polar Bear outplayed Tamou tonight. However, I think you forgot about a certain Jarryd Hayne... who is just a constant menace. And T-Rex, lazy arm n all, definitely makes the bench.

Slater is better than Slater? No, I don't get your drift, sorry.

Any side that doesn't include Shillington, best prop on field in games 2 and 3, most metres (341) for a prop in the series, has no credibility.

Based on Origin and club form, Shillington is currently the best prop in the world.

He really meant "The 2012 Origin Best 17."

So how did he have Farrah ahead of Cam Smith?

Personally I really think he meant to put his thumb in his mouth, but chose to log on instead.

1. Inglis
2. Hayne
3. Josh Morris
4. Hodges
5. Tate
6. Thurston
7. Cronk (V/C)
8. Tamou
9. Smith (C)
10. Scott
11. Myles
12. Lewis
13. Gallen

14. Bird
15. Parker
16. Shillington
17. Hannant

The Hodges selection was tough. Tbh.....I don 't think he had much impact at all in games 1 & 2. A lot better in game 3

but
Hodges >>>>> Jennings

No Slater. Didn't play anywhere near what he is capable of and missed game 3
