NSW Origin side 2010

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Luke Lewis IMO is a potiential captain. A long term one at that if he sticks to the second row.

Lewis was picked in 95% of the 'Team of the Year's" over on NRL at lock. After leading Dally M's at lock until injury last year, representing NSW and Australia in the second row along with being one of the Top 5 form players of the year, how you can you possibly overlook him.

He is hurt by his utility. Yes he used to be a winger, centre, five eigth, but he is, in his own right, the best lock in the game right now.

I'd go
1. Gidley
2. Brett Morris
3. Josh Morris
4. Jennings
5. Hayne
6. Bird
7. Pearce
8. Weyman
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Creagh
12. Gallen
13. Lewis

14. Stewart
15. Poore
16. Watmough
17. Tolman

We have Gidley, Bird, Hayne and Lewis in the starting side who can cover multiple positions if necessary. We need fresh legs to take it to the QLD pack so I've gone with 2 props and 2 second rowers on the bench.
Need some spark, Hayne to fullback, Gidley hooker, Lewis centre, Stewart/Gallen lock.

 

[Tigger Madness]

Mason would be perfect off the bench. Offers experience, good form, impact and quality offloads.

 

[Someone]

if i see Jamie Lyon in another side...

 

[MacDougall]

This sounds like the conversation that occured on LU during a dream I had that ended in my premature death. Take from that what you will.

 

[ByRd]

Mason would be perfect off the bench. Offers experience, good form, impact and quality offloads.

Well there are people picking Poore but Masons form is way ahead right now and he knows what it takes and i dont care what people think of him, he is passionate and is a big talker on the field.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Mason is in great form. He's been just about the Cows best forward along with Bolton and Scott. Off the bench, he's second to none in providing impact for that Prop/2nd Row hybrid role. If he keeps this form up, he's a proven success and leader at the origin level and will provide some valuable experience.

 

[stormbati]

Ide love to see an in-form mason tearing into those caneturds

 

[GB!]

if i see Jamie Lyon in another side...

lyon > hayne

 

[Tipster]

if i see Jamie Lyon in another side...

Have you actually watched him play this season?

 

[Joker's Wild]

He has stated that he'd rather not play Origin

Good enough reason to leave him out for good imo

 

[RABK]

There's a few certainties we have to get our heads around.

Hayne will be fullback.

B Morris has one wing.

J Morris will be one centre.

Weyman will be one prop but the other deserving contenders like Galloway, Douglas, Snowden, Tolman will probably be overlooked for the likes of White, Perry, Kite, Mason, Bailey etc

Watmough was the best player on the park by a mile in game 3 last year and as such is the first forward picked in a starting role. Whether that means Lewis is benched or Creagh is benched to accommodate the Gallen and Watmough pairing to start i don't know - but Luke Lewis will play!

 

[watatank]

Hayne will be fullback.

Should be a certainty but in reality is far from it. Bellamy is a huge fan of Gidley (who is the captain) and there are no standout wingers apart from Morris so Hayne may still play there.

 

[RABK]

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.

 

[watatank]

I don't necessarily disagree with that but it doesn't mean he will be fullback.

18 18th Man Luke Lewis
Still unsure who should play on that wing!! but i think that this side would beat QLD

2. Burt
3. Lawrence

Can't see why you'd pick (and much less give (c) to) a player who can't ever seem to decide if he can be bothered playing. Burt's a better goalkicker and Lawrence is a better centre than Lyon (even though Lawrence is a left centre, ffs as if this matters with good players), has quality attack and is a stronger defender than any other candidate to police Inglis. As many have said I think Lewis has to be in there somewhere, be good to see him ahead of Gidley.

 

[abpanther]

To me, the only certainties at the moment are Hayne (wing or fullback), Morris twins, Watmough and Weyman

 

[typicalfan]

I think Greg Bird will just about be certain as well even if he is off the bench.

 

[adamkungl]

I hardly think Josh Morris is a certainty. I'd have Lawrence, Jennings, and even Cooper all before him.
