First off I'm not new to the forums- I had an account a fair while ago but I've forgotten it and now is the first time since that I've had the urge to post rather than just read.
Anyway heres the hypothetical situation: Queensland wins game 2 which makes game 3 a dead rubber. As a Queenslander I'd like to see some of the junior players show what they can do in a State of Origin match without having to make hard decisions when the senior players finally retire from origin.
NSW might prefer to just stick to what they've got for experience but if thats your oppinion you could still post what NSW team you would select (the current team but with your revisions).
If i was a Queensland selector, this would be the experimental team I would select for a dead rubber at Suncorp Stadium.
1. Billy Slater
2. Darius Boyd
3. Greg Inglis
4. Ash Graham
5. Israel Falau
6. Johnathon Thurston
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Steve Price
9. Cameron Smith
10. Petro Civoniceva
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Ashley Harrison
13. Dallas Johnson
14. Aaron Payne/ Nathan Friend
15. David Shillington
16. Dave Taylor (if he can increase his fitness)
17. Michael Luck
karmichael Hunt 18th man
My team has 6 debutants in it while being a list that could still win the game (especially at suncorp). Price and Civoniceva are still in it because i couldn't think of any more young replacements that wouldnt tip the balance too far towards inexperience. So what are everyone elses oppinions or team selections?
