[Rammo]

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

John Sutton for Wingy

 

[sooperdooper]

grothe in for king

 

[jeffrosaint]

LOL

Are you serious?

Yep....dead serious bud.....O'meley is not mobile enough for Origin or fit enough.....Ryles would be first prop picked for NSW barring injury.

 

[1999]

grothe for king? your kidding arn't you mate, last years man of the series dumped for a one year wonder, matt king is a gun, been killing it and has absolutely no reason to lose his place, tahu would be a better option for replacement dont you think?

NSW

1. Anthony Minichiello
2. Matt King
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Matt Cooper
5. Timana Tahu
6. Trent Barrett
7. Andrew Johns
8. Mark O'Meley
9. Danny Buderus (c)
10. Jason Ryles
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Steve Simpson
13. Craig Fitzgibbon

14. Craig Wing
15. Luke O'Donnell
16. Luke Bailey
17. Braith Anasta

No way Ryles won't be selected and O'Meley sets the platform better then any other - Bailey > Bench.

With three starting backrowers capable of playing 70 minutes and two of them able to play prop the bench will be a bit more mobile IMO. Wing as the utility, Braith as a lock and 5/8th while Bailey and O'Donnell will cover the forwards.

Look at that backline, all the forwards have to do is grind out the metres to give Johns and Barrett some time and space and this could very well be a slaughter.

 

[Red Bear]

Grothe should getawing spot over Tahu

 

[Mr Saab]

Yep....dead serious bud.....O'meley is not mobile enough for Origin or fit enough.....Ryles would be first prop picked for NSW barring injury.

i dont think so.
Omeley is made for origin.
Ryles....well....he is not soft, but as a QLD supporter Omeley would be more of a worry than ryles ever would be.

 

[nqcowboy87]

in my opinion , and this coming from a queenslander, that john sutton will play at least one origin game from the bench.

 

[>zuzu<]

I think that Myles will get his shot this year at Origin. If its Meninga at the helm..i think he may go for more youth in Myles. Not being biased or anything, but the ageing back of the QLD team is not going to match the NSW forward pack. Time for change. Myles in for Civoniciva imo.

If there's one thing we've learned in this thread thus far, it's that you're as dumb as bat ****.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

O'Meley should be the starting prop.

1. Minichello
2. Grothe
3. Gasnier
4. Cooper
5. King
6. Barrett
7. Johns
8. O'Meley
9. Buderus
10. Bailey
11. Hindmarsh
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Morrison

14. Wing/Widders
15. O'Donnell
16. Skandalis
17. Simpson

 

[RABK]

Morrison, Widders. :lol:

I guarantee you - Jason Ryles will be a starting front rower.

 

[Corbin]

Wing will play no matter what

 

[PARRA_FAN]

If Ryles gets picked then we'll struggle, he's not as good as people say. Skandalis on last year's form deserves to be there.

 

[borat]

Morrison, Widders. :lol:

I guarantee you - Jason Ryles will be a starting front rower.

Ryles is made for origin. There is not a frontrower in the game with a higher work rate than Ryles in a high inttensity origin match. He certainly doesn't have the impact of most frontrowers but workrate in tests and origin matches is enormous. Thats why he keeps being selected year after year.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Who are the origin guns? Fien may make an appearance off the bench, mainly for his half/hooker versatility.
