Best player to never play at Origin/Test level

[God-King Dean]

Everyone will suggest players from there own club, so I'll go ahead & say Nathan Brown.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Blacklock would have to be one of the best not to play Origin, considering he played two Tests (I think Darren Britt also played a heap of Tests but not Origin).

As for those who didn't play either I would have to go for his cousin Preston.

 

[Moffo]

Luke Patten

 

[Danish]

Yep, Preston Campbell would be my pick as well.

Blacklock being left out of origin was bad enough, but Preston not getting a run was even worse IMO... especially in the post-Freddy era when it seems we'd throw any moron in the no.6 except Presto (Shaun Timmins got a run FFS)

 

[cb4]

Michael Robertson.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

There was a year there where Tongue deserved a spot , the year before he was turned into dummy half

 

[BM1979]

Luke Patten

Skando never ended up playing did he , how he was never picked I will never know.

 

[Hutty1986]

I reckon Lance Thompson would have been an absolute gun for the Blues

 

[Nightward]

Preston Campbell would seem to have this one in the bag.

 

[Haffa]

Billy Peden.

Every winger in NSW when Jason Moody was included.

He was a truly awful footballer. Occasionally this type can pull one out of nowhere though....look at Adam Mogg, played the game of his life for QLD, but a nothing footballer at the Raiders.

 

[Zigwaa]

Luke Stuart or Nathan Merritt

 

[PaddyBoy]

Preston Campbell, daylight. Possibly Patten after that.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Ben galea was terribly, terribly under rated. If he had of played for a successfull side I have no doubts he would have played plenty of origins.

Didn't he play in the GF winning team? That's pretty successful

 

[Big Pete]

I didn't think too highly of him as a player but in a time when NSW were devoid of talent in the halves, how Matt Orford was never given a chance is beyond me. Not that Manly fans would care either way - his absence in the rep. arena helped their cause tremendously.

A couple of those West Tigers players were unlucky to be ignored for rep. duties following that win. Skandalis in particular stands out.

 

[Cliffhanger]

A lot of Kiwi players.

Ryan Cross

 

[Newcastlerabbit]
