NSW side of the Origin era

[Vee]

FOP and wondering. My Qld side is fairly settled but I wonder what Blues fans would choose.

As a starter:

Lazarus
Buderis
Harragon
Kennedy

Clyde
Johns
Kenny

Fitter
Daley

Tedesco?

The gaps are open for debate.

Did I miss anyone?

Hayne on one wing, Inglis on the other

 

[Vee]

Oh, and btw, we've had a great tradition of 14s but possibly the best ever was Craig Wing.

Daley has to be on an all-time side, he was sort of the linchpin for a lot of NSW success in the 90s. Not saying he was Lewis like but he was damn close.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Mini was a better fullback than Teddy

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Daley should be 5/8 and captain. The best NSW has ever had in both of those roles. Fittler might be able to nab a centre spot....maybe.

Stuart at halfback. He won more series than Johns in the position.

and even better, you won't need any other forwards, cos 2 gals will hit up at least 5/6 tackles, 4 of them being settlers after a break.

Depends whether this is an all-time NSW team to get presented with a blue blazer and pose for a group photo at a function OR-

Is it an all-time NSW team taking up arms against an all-time Qld team in a one-off game/ series?

Because my selections would be a bit different for each...

Yes it is.

Yes it is.

If they were lining up against the all-time Maroons team then I'd pick Bert at 5/8 over Daley, because he'd be playing against Wally.

Noel cleal was once selected in a team celebrating the first 20 years of origin. We always called him ‘Labrador’, bludging on the blind
