Would hate to be a New South Wales selector...

A lot of difficult choices to make and really even if you pick the best side, there's no guarantee that it'll be successful given the quality of the opposition.

Because if you pick a side purely on form you'd end up with some pretty stupid looking teams.

Pretty sure Big League did an article on it last year.

Rothfield and the Tele would march on George St for days If Hayne ain't at 1!


Gidley, like Farah, is a proven Origin failure. Some players just don't have the same level of play at this intensity.

Ennis thrives on it, Hayne will excel in it.

2 games, 1 decent, and 1 sub-par.

Must be a joke post.

f**k off Mrs Farah - you should be BANNED from the origin forum during the series.

Face it - Buderus 04-08 >>> Farah
- Ennis 09 ongoing >>> Farah

Farah was never decent for more than a 5 minute period in his 130 odd Origin Minutes. Ennis was excellent in his one game.

Farah was decent in Origin 1, like Buderus though he was upstaged by Wing who took advantage of the tired Queensland forward pack.

2 on the other hand...

Ennis really wasn't THAT good either.

Pete is right, we have such a hard choice to make, it cant purely be on form, cause like he said that could turn out bad, look at qld, some of their stars are never in great form when picked but they know who lifts and commits to origin. We gotta stay true to some player / player combinations, people who have played well over the past 3 or so years consistently

No wonder you guys rate your players highly if passing the ball is considered as 'excellent'. Do you even watch rugby league or look at stats?

Its funny - you are fighting over which one of two decent footballers should be your hooker.

I'd be more concerned about your halves if I was you.

Good one Mrs Ennis.

Halves are not the worry - the props are by far the biggest are of concern. NSW must get over the QLD pack for two games this year. If they do that then who ever is in the halves at least gets a chance to play a bit of footy without the pressure of playing behind a team going backward.

Sorry, but I have to laugh at that.
It's Farah fanatics that bring out the most statistics in this entire forum.

We have the backs, halves and forward pack to equal or better qld as we have proved in at least 1 game outta 3 for the past 4 years, its just up to the selectors really. Pick the right team and we have a real chance
