If NSW Lose this Origin Series this year....

[wolverine]

Here's my suggestion to the NSW selectors, put it to a vote with the fans of NSW of who should play and in what sort of position. So many fans are disillusioned with the NSW selectors ability to pick a team that can win an origin series. If the public pick the wrong team and NSW lose again...no harm done because the NSW selectors haven't done any better over the past 5-6 years!

Thoughts?

Not a bad suggestion - along the lines of the NRL Allstars without the one player per club rule.

The problem is that the better supported sides fans would get the most votes. The other problem is that the selectors basically rubber stamp the coaches wishes. Hence Steve Turners blue jumper.

Could you stop Queenslanders voting Moltzen into fullback?

Lovely. :lol:

The DT did something like this a year or two ago and Merritt ended up as one of the wingers. So immediately to me it sounds like a terrible idea.

Also you only have to read the comments on things like the Blues FB page to realise how many idiot sheep there are out there that just spout whatever the media is spouting at that time.

[Grapple]

That's a big "if"...

I can't believe people actually say this. :lol:

Yeah and make it a popularity contest....Let's vote this player because he's cool.

 

[Loudstrat]

I reckon Inglis would get voted in! That would piss the thieving morons off!

 

[PaddyBoy]

Line ups this year would include:
George Rose, Jamal Idris, Beau Ryan, Nathan Hindmarsh, etc.

And that's without the aforementioned ambush from rival supporters.

Base it on cool hairstyles and stuff.

How many born and bred Kiwis could NSW have in there side then?

Unlimited, depending upon the aforementioned cool hair style.

 

[Someone]

Absolute bullshit

yet the idea of the public picking the NSW side because a selector cant isnt?

or the fact for the next 5 years origin will be Asutralia VS the best nsw can muster, like it has been for 6 years?

origin will be resurrected when NSW vs QLD isnt a training run for the Australian side. Its nobodys fault but queenslands dominace is like never before and it really is killing origin.

 

[PaddyBoy]

Like the record TV rating it recorded last year?

 

[MSIH]

If anything, QLD's dominance is making me even more passionate for the Blues.

 

[proto]

the 'Fans' are just as idiotic, even more so than selectors. The NSW team right now isnt too bad at all minus like 2 picks, and a few others that could go either way.

Your regular Joe up the road is a f**king idiot who knows nothing of the sport. God no.

The term Training Run is hilarious. QLD will probably win the series, but they'll do it in incredibly tight entertaining games. Be quiet

Firechild will vote for rose, after all, he's won a premiership. That makes him better than Matt Scott
