NSW Origin side 2010

[adamkungl]

you're insane

Like a fox!

Would anyone else want Mason in the side??

I only say this cause his form is improving and he gives us a big body to come off the bench as an impact player. He is also a leader on the field and a big talker and plays with alot of passion, im just throwing it out there.

 

[abpanther]

Not me, particularly as we have a plethora of other backrowers that are in much better form...

 

[typicalfan]

Mason has no impact when he runs, smaller players know how to bring him down. There are plenty of backrowers I would prefer to Mason.

 

[mxlegend99]

There's no way that Mason should be in the NSW side. On his current form there are a number of club forward packs that he wouldn't be able to crack at full strength.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Underrating Mason a lot here. He's been playing great footy for NQLD, he's been one of their best by far and away. His impact off the bench for them has been awesome. Over 100m a game and like 9m per run is great.

 

[Someone]

Still better second rowers in the comp atm imo.

 

[maple_69]

The guy has consistently failed at Origin level for the last few years. One big run does not make up for being lazy and largely ineffective and knocking the ball on constantly and getting falconed in his big ugly mug. He is a disgrace of a person and a terrible advertisement for rugby league. He has played well in a below par forward pack but certainly has not shown the consistent brilliance of Luke Lewis, Watmough, Gallen, Stewart, Laffranchi et al, who have been performing for years now.

Players who shouldn't be picked...

Past their prime:

Luke Bailey
Willie Mason
Steve Simpson
Nathan Hindmarsh
Andrew Ryan

Failures at SOO:

Brent Kite
Josh Perry
Brett White
Anthony Laffranchi
Anthony Tupou

None of these players should be looked at for selection IMO, they are either past their prime and wouldn't benefit the team by being there, or they have been trialled in recent years and had little to no impact. Boof, Kite and Toops in particular, it doesn't mean that they are bad club players, but simply they lack that extra factor for SOO.

 

[adamkungl]

Agree with pretty much all of those Mack

Id select Mason if he played prop and was making more of an impact then he currently is.

TBH, he is exactly the guy NSW want firing and in form. An aggressive in form Mason would be perfect. Hes won Origins before and he has in the past been destructive against Qld.

Oxymoron. He is past it.

[saint-colesy]

You had me until Keith Galloway and totally lost it when you suggested Perry or White.

 

[Yosh]

Yeah Mason was good against the Knights. I mean I wouldn't be upset if he was chosen on the bench etc. Not over the moon but I wouldn't call it a bad selection!

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

I can't understand why so many people are leaving out Ben Creagh! He was an outstanding player for NSW over the 2009 series.

Gidley and Bird ahead of Luke Lewis? That's f*cking insane. Luke Lewis should be one of the few certainties for the team. I think he'll be a good chance at the Australian team even.

He played 2nd row in the Four Nations final so i'd assume he would be in the 17 again somewhere in a couple of weeks time. His form certainly warrants it.
