By naming the NSW side on Monday, surely it would have some impact on the players that are selected.
If you were a player selected for NSW you would be abit more careful not to get injured so you can play origin.
At the end of the day there will be players that will allready know they are playing Origin like Soward, Gasnier, Boyd and Watmough but if someone like Hunt or Prior get picked surely it would affect the way they approach the game. They would not want to miss such a big occaison. Possibly their biggest chance to crack reps.
The timing of this game is poor. Should be a Friday night or Sunday game for sure. Do you think this Manly v NRL is the reason. How many Monday night games have they had. NRL trying to show who is boss by not giving them any games prime time when they can make more cash.
