New South Wales 2016

[Jason Maher]

Morris injury fixes the biggest f**k up in the team. Having a centre who is shit in every other position on the bench as a utility.

Bird can atleast cover centre, halves and lock.

And fullback and second row.

A couple of other fixes (come on footy gods, do your thing and give us a couple of more injuries):

1. Matt Moylan
2. Josh Mansour
3. Michael Jennings
4. Jack Bird
5. James Tedesco or James Roberts (if you're going to have someone out of position on the wing, pick someone with speed)
6. James Maloney
7. Adam Reynolds
13. Paul Gallen (c)
12. Bryce Cartwright
11. Tyson Frizell
10. James Tamou
9. Robbie Farah
8. Aaron Woods

14. Lachlan Coote
15. David Klemmer
16. Andrew Fifita
17. Ryan James/Paul Vaughan/Jake Trbojevic

Sore tempted to wish injury on Farah too so Ennis can come in, but I think I've been enough of a bastard already.

no it doesn't. farah will still get his hands on the pill first for 80% of plays.

doesn't matter who else is in the team. he'll pick out Gallen twice a set for carries, and he'll give it to Maloney and Reynolds when it's too late for any of them to lay on something decent for the men out wide.

 

[ram raid]

I loathe Ennis but he is in stellar form he would add so much to this team. I honestly think Farah cares more about his own performance than the teams. But hey c'est la vie

Have you blokes ever actually watched Ennis at origin level before??

 

[nick87]

I'd pick the following team if it were up to me.
It probably wouldnt win a series, because there literally isnt a team NSW could name that is better than the one QLD can name, but i reckon this team would at least put some points up and challenge QLD to do the same

1. Tedesco
2. Mansour
3. Bird
4. Leilua
5. T.Trbojevic
6. Maloney
7. A. Reynolds
8. Tamou
9. Ennis
10. Woods
11. Cartwright
12. Cordner
13. Bird

14. Luke Lewis
15-16. 2 of: Klemmer, Paulo, Vaughan, J.Trbojevic, A.Fafita (dont really care which two though my preference would be Klemmer and Vaughan)
17. Frizell

It's not great, but lets not pretend Farah has produced at Origin level either
he's had 1-2 games in his career where you could say he was good, but for the most part Farah has been dreadful at origin level

I've watched the respective form of Farah and Ennis for the last 18 months, and I watched Farah in game 1. He is past it, Ennis has got better since he moved to Cronulla and is in career best form. Still has a bone headed play or two in him every game, but he is honestly the best we have.

 

[TheFrog]

Add Walker to the list of players Inglis has anal f*cked after Wednesday.

Provided he can be bothered.

 

[Beefcake]

Nothing is wrong with Moz, but we have a genuine utility on the bench and Walker is now playing his specialist position (mind you there's atleast 4 other centres in front of him lol). Not sure how he will go up against Inglis though

No, no, he'll be all good. He's played alongside him at club level so he knows his game. You know, just like Nathan Mer...oh.

 

[RecordBreakingMaroons.]

You get the feeling that NSW will either click and play well or that the wheels are gonna fall off. Mind you; go back and look at the interviews that the Blues were giving before Game 3 last year: They were a lot more positive before Game 3 than they seem to be before this upcoming game.

Gallem brings out the fight night rubbish every year...gee it gets boring

Yep, it does get boring but it's been a very successful tactic---- for us that is.
We need Gal in every Blues team, taking the ball up 5 meters, bit of niggle, argue with the ref meanwhile the scoreboard tells the story, Blues lost again.

No-one is a genius of losing an Origin series like Gallen is. I'm sure that he'll be assisting the Blues to lose Origin for decades after he retires.

 

[betcats]

That's what happens when you pick a centre in average form who can't catch on the wing

7. The guy who set up our only try that wasn't a total fluke

 

[T.T]

Reynolds already ruled out of game 3 apparently

 

[Vic Mackey]

Laurie Daley said Frizzell, Bird and MOYLAN were NSWs best

I don't think I'll be watching game 3
