Now that Watmough is out?

[badav]

Now that it looks likely that Watmough is likely to be out, who will NSW pick?

Judging by the general quality of their selections, and the fact that they are throwing up Jason King (A guy who is just not origin quality) and Tim Mannah (a Benchie) as replacements for Josh Perry (Why was he there in the first place) one would think potential candidates could be:

- Ben Smith
- Jamal Idris
- Brad Morrin
- Glen Stewart (Have to keep up the manly quota apparently)


Meanwhile Craig Bellamy continues to be of the belief that decent backrowers such as Anthony Laffranchi and Paul Gallen kicked his dog and knocked over his garden gnome set, so im sure they won't be in the picture in any way whatsoever.

Tim Mannah may be a benchy, but probably the best one at that bar Lima.

Now id look at Hindmarsh.

 

[watatank]

I'd say Gallen will come back in...if not maybe O'Donnell?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Gallen was always going to be in, reguardless of Watmough. I was under the impression that Waterhouse and Creagh were going to be dropped.

We still have plenty of options, Mark Minichiello could a smokey. Theres Greg Bird, Hindmarsh, O'Donnell, Mason, Hoffman, etc etc.

IMO, Watmough is entrenched in the NSW team now, his replacement more then likely wont be in the team long term, thus I look at Hindmarsh.

 

[typicalfan]

My choice for backrow would be Hindy, Watmough and Gallen. I would replace Watmough with Waterhouse.

 

[Springs]

Hindmarsh, Gallen, Lewis.
Probably have Waterhouse on the bench.

 

[andrew057]

Lewis will get at least 2 weeks for his spear tackle last night.

 

[broncos70]

lewis has never been to the judiciary he should get off

 

[andrew057]

lewis has never been to the judiciary he should get off

Thats irrelevant. It was a bad tackle and he will be suspended, no two ways about it.

 

[lockyno1]

Lewis will cop a grade 1, it looked worse live than it did on the replays. Should be sweet to go.

Its not irrelevant as players who have not been to the judicury in 7 years get 25% off their charge.

I havent seen the tackle, but a spear is classified as a dangerous throw yes? If its a grade one, he is charged with 125 points, 25% off that for a clean record, 25% again for an early guilty plea gets he's free to play.

Anything above a grade one though and he's gone.

 

[lockyno1]

Spot on Tezza, and it wasn't that bad. Dangerous yes, but was on the lowest side. It was a lot worse live than on the replay!

I know this. What I meant is its irrelevant because the tackle is much worse than a grade one, so his previous record wont help when it comes to playing in Origin.

 

[lockyno1]

No it wasn't. There have been worse tackles that have been graded a grade 1 this season!

 

[Direct]

I'd like to see a backrow of Gallen, Bird and O'Donnell. Let the bash brothers ride again!

 

[MaxZ/3iaGGiZ]

Nathan Hindmarsh

 

[Ladmate]

Heighington should get a run. This will be his chance.

you thought creagh and waterhouse were going to be dropped?
how many from game 1 do you think would have survived, 8 or 9?

Mate you need to update your sig Boyd is wearing a much better jersey now .
