Looking back at the Origin series...

which selections and non-selections of players in the side would you have classified as 'blunders' by the NSW selectors? In other words, which players who were in the side shouldn't have been there, and which players not selected should've been picked?

 

[Godz Illa]

They should have picked less players from St George Illawarra and more players from teams playing St George Illawarra during Origin week. To help with our for-and-against.

i think kyte, farah (for game 3 anyway) and creaghs omissions were mistakes
mason, white and anastas inclusions were mistakes

The props. Cross did ok but Brett White is a joke, surely. Why is this guy constantly selected ?

 

[Sood]

I thought Mason had a good game.
