New South Wales 2016

[chigurh]

So in fact it's a 20 man squad, read out alphabetically rather than by position. :roll:

Morris over Jennings is a surprise.

 

[no name]

The sad thing is that the token 'development' player would actually make more of an impact than Walker.

 

[moffla]

Walker to bag 2 tries in game one :sarcasm:

 

[legend]

What a shit side! Daley and Fulton have no idea whatsoever. f**ken geniuss!

 

[hrundi99]

What a shit side! Daley and Fulton have no idea whatsoever. f**ken geniuss!

Who would you have picked instead?

 

[Clifferd]

Lol there was no hooker announced until the last selection , what a joke

 

[SBD82]

Surely we can finally get rid of bozo now. Walker has to be one of the worst selections in origin history.

Has anyone seen that actual 1-17 listed? All I can see is the squad.

 

[ByRd]

With the 20 man squad named, im sure the final 17 will be:

1. Moylan
2. Mansour
3. Jennings
4. Dugan.
5. Ferguson
6. Maloney
7. Reynolds
8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Gallen
11. Cordner
12. Jackson
13. Bird

14. Klemmer
15. Tamou
16. Fifita
17. Walker

18. Frizell
19. Cartwright
20. Morris

 

[SBD82]

Who would you have picked instead?

This is satire:.. Yes?

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

I've heard on the foxsports website that Dyan Walker is set to be named as the bench 'utility'.

If so then I'm done following the Blues.

I reckon Bob Fulton has given him an Origin guarantee to sign with Manly.

I'll hold off and hope that mail is wrong but f**k me, if that's true I give up.

Its so unbelievable that its has to be true.... I'm getting close to feeling this way about the blues as well.. I mean seriously Dylan f**king walker as a utility ...... why not pick Jamal Idris or Josh Morris as the utility... oh wait...:crazy:

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I think they got the halves right at least. But not happy with Walker, Farah, Jackson & Cordner.

 

[Hutty1986]

Cue the usual "Qld 3-0" and "What a sh*t side" comments.

It's about 5 years too late, but the side has finally been refreshed. Plenty of questions now though..
Will Reynolds be able to cope with the defensive workload? No doubt him & Maloney should be a lot more potent in attack but can they both make 20+ tackles and still help us score the 3-4 tries we'll need to be any chance? Thurston can't tackle but NSW haven't targeted him nearly enough for... oh about 10 years now.

Can we finally get some quality ball to our backline?

Will Walker actually get a chance to show us if he's up to this level, or will he be the 2016 Jamie Buhrer?

Looks a good side to me on paper, good pack and probably our two most in-form halves. Then again, it all counts for nothing if we don't win game 1-series over if we again fail to perform at home.

 

[Light Reflections]

dylan walker lmao

 

[BennyV]

Outside of Walker and Jackson, it's as good a side as can be expected. Excited!!

[PARRA_FAN]

Dylan Walker?? :? That'll do me.

Is there a criteria to pick at least one Manly player?

 

[Captain Apollo]

dylan walker lmao

Agree with you. Another "Bob Fulton special" that selection is :crazy:

 

[skeepe]

Jackson :lol:
Farah :lol:
Walker :lol:
Klemmer :lol:
Moylan :lol:

Don't ever change NSW selectors.

 

[kbw]

Gould has got his way with bunch of penrith players picked, although they do look good selections compared with Fergusson, Walker and Reynolds.

Do they want to kill off SOO altogether, is this the only way they think they can beat QLD ?

 

[Jason Maher]

How the f**k do Boyd Cordner and Josh Jackson continually get selected ahead of Wade Graham?
