NSW Team 2014

[Apey]

9. Ennis
14. Gidley

just took another step closer to becoming a reality

 

[Spanner in the works]

Sure but when it comes to gamebreakers all you really need is one.
For nsw that it hayne and his best position to do this is at the back.
Another potential gamebreaker is Kelly who would b great off the bench....starting maybe not as much.

You only need one, sure. But if DCE is picked off the bench - which he almost certainly will - Queensland have six (Smith, Thurston, Inglis, Slater, Cronk and DCE). It's a reflection of the past 7 or 8 years. Add Lockyer in to that mix, and they only need one or two of those players to perform for them to win, and they have won in style. Why pick just one? We need as many players as we can who can come up with those big plays.

I can see hayne and Dugan getting in each others way for some reason.
U r right about the qld side but they were the best players to chose complemented each others game.
I think Dugan is a good player but I wouldn't pick him.

I know it's a NSW thread and not a CvC thread but how does McCrone keep getting selected on the bench, f**king stupid. Anyways I really hope Ennis and Gidley not being in the Country side does not mean they'll be there. If Pearce, Ennis, Gidley are in origin we should boycott the 2nd game in sydney

 

[THE CHAMP]

Maybe these players need to be selected for game 1.
Its not a decider and when the loss comes the mass cleanout needed can happen.

 

[Joker's Wild]

The CvC game is less an Origin trial and more a Blues up and coming camp these days. Makes sense neither were selected

This is what Ill keep telling myself anyway

 

[THE CHAMP]

Can anyone from nsw come up with one good reason to select Ennis.

 

[League_God]

how kelly wasn't picked is beyond me

 

[Joker's Wild]

Kelly broke his leg today mate

 

[League_God]

Kelly broke his leg today mate

I missed today's game, I was at work!
I was looking forward to it, Kelly and Brooks I believe will be the NSW halves within 3 years.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Kelly broke his leg today mate

f**ken unbelievable.
Now we'll never know.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Kelly broke his leg today mate

Nrl website clears Kelly of fracture.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Sweet, still injured though but thats good news

 

[GONZO72]

There is none. He also would be bad for team moral. Everyone hates the germ. He would be a disruption in camp. Being slow and not creative, is another reason.

I only saw the highlights for todays game. But he looked sharp again from what i saw.
Beautiful runner. And I think he should b given a shot.
At least we will know if he will or won't b selected now.
Followed by why or why not.

I didn't realise it myself but jw has probably made a good call regarding his non selection.
Qld supporters everywhere will b cheering if he is selected however.
Common sense tells me jw is right......... but..........

Looks like Carney is out. Going off the Kangaroos team list, there is only 6 NSW players; J Morris, B Morris, Tamou, Bird, Gallen, and Cordner. What do you think automatic selection in the Blues I suppose. I think Cordner is a 50/50 in the Blues, I don't really rate him. If the forward pack from 2013 is injury free, and this will be NSW strongest pack:
8.Fifita, 9.Farah, 10.Tamou, 11.Bird, 12.Lewis, 13. Gallen, 14.(bolter), 15. Watmough, 16. Merrin, 17. (Spare prop - would go with Woods or even Cordner). I can't see any room for Cordner unless he takes 17. spot otherwise they will have to drop someone like Lewis who has yet to play a game this year.

What do you think?

 

[Jason Maher]

You don't rate Cordner? He was picked last year, and his form between then and now would suggest he should be picked again. He's a gun.

Yes, Cordner was picked but only in game 3 to replace J Reynolds. That wasn't a guaranteed selection like Gallen or Bird. Anyway, as I already stated, he would be my 50/50 decision in the Blues team. Given the above names I have selected, who would you remove instead? Like I said, If Fifita, and Tamou is guaranteed then we know Gallen can rotate as a spare prop which means Cordner can possibly take 17. leaving Woods out. Tough decision though there are a lot of in form players at the moment for the forwards.

Usually the NSW players in aus squad are there for NSW, so he'll be there
