NSW State Of Origin Team Game 1 2009

[God-King Dean]

I really think Cooper needed to be there. I fear Jennings is gonna get found out in defence.

Other than that, can't complain.

 

[Timmah]

Paul Gallen (CRO) and Glenn Stewart (MAN) may not be certainties, the former is in a meeting at Sharkies at the moment, while the latter faces a one match ban for a dangerous throw in the Titans v Sea Eagles game.

what? I thought they were announcing it at half time tonight.

 

[Spike]

Campese shouldn't be there

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Adam Hawse named it he didnt suggest it was a guess at the team... He suggested he got it from a source in the NSWRL...

I will be surprised if its different to the Ch 10 list

 

[Raider_69]

Can't believe they left out Lewis! Leading the Dally M's, 18th man for Australia!

Dont worry too much, i dont think that is the offical side
i dont think its being named for another few hours

however if it is the offical side... Lewis has been robbed

 

[Sleep]

Laffranchi missing out was the biggest surprise for me if this is true. He and Monaghan are both very unlucky.

 

[Timbo]

Yeah you have to question Lewis's omission.

Also Monaghan missing out means that QLD's backline will enjoy a significant size and height advantage over our blokes. Monaghan was needed to shut down their air raids.

I like it.

Don't like Stewart or Kite though.

 

[Charlie124]

Thought they would have named a better team than that. Happy Days

 

[Harold Bishop]

Interesting to see who comes in for Gallen (injured) and Stewart (most likely suspended).

Can't believe they left out Lewis! Leading the Dally M's, 18th man for Australia!

He'll still be available for us. I care more about Penrith than I do NSW. But well done Jennings, it better be confirmed properly at 7.50 pm.

Andrew Ryan ahead of Luke Lewis. It gets even better....

 

[Penance]

Yes I know, should go in interstate league, but will post it here for heavy discussion purposes. I saw it on 10 news - I can't remember all the players, but some of the players named were Kite, Craig Wing (what the), McManus, Robbie Farah (he won the battle with Ennis), Campese, Wallace, I think Gallen made it along with Glenn Stewart, Waymen from the Dragons, Jamie Lyon, Michael Jennings, Hayne from the Eels. Anthony Lafranchi missed out.

Obviously you didn't watch City vs Country.

Sutton got injured, and Wing slotted into 5/8 easily and helped them to a strong win. Injuries during origin will happen, and its good to have a player that can play fullback, centre, 5/8, halfback, hooker, lock.

 

[aqua_duck]

who have Lewis and Laffranchi pissed off?

 

[Apey]

Can't believe they picked Campese over Mullen - but not complaining, I'd like to have him for the Bulldogs game.

Campese probably is the better player, but they better hope he gets some form back for Origin.

 

[Bazal]

No problem with Farah being there at 9...but supposely he and Ennis were fighting it out for that spot, yes? So why in f**k's name, if you're going to pick two hookers with one as a utility off the bench, would you not pick the two hookers who were supposedly the two in the frame? FMD...Gallen's selection is another joke, he's done nothing this year and has never done anything at origin level. Hopefully he misses with injury. Kite and Stewart haven't exactly been in great form either, but I guess there aren't many other options.

Overall, apart from that one selection of Wing that just seems totally illogical, it's a pretty good side.

 

[Game_Breaker]

Wing on the bench?

FFS

 

[CC_Eagle]

Jennings and McManus are going to get totally owned.

Game one to QLD.
