I really hate origin day announcement every year. We get rage inducing 'leaks' and 'suggestions' and then come to find out the team that is actually announced, is even worse.

This is the first time in recent memory that NSW will have the better backline. If we can't win it this year might as well give it up.

Our team literally shreds qld to pieces. Apart from the obvious Smith, Cronk and JT that hold them together. We have them covered otherwise

Yep. Once those 3 are gone we have the better spine as well.

Halves Cleary/Moylan/Someone I'm not thinking of.

Hooker: Peats/Cook/McInnes.

Fullback: Tedesco/Turbo/Hayne

Joke ... Vaughan is form prop in the league ... should be starting with Fifita ... Back row should be Cordner and Frizz (edge player not middle) ... Jake to lock .. Bench - Klemmer/JDB/Graham/Bird ...
That is closer to a side to win ..

NSW picked 7 players from the bottom half of the ladder to QLDs 2 ... If these players were in great form their teams would be doing better.

NSW could have picked better, more deserving 3, 4, 5 & 8.

Woods form this year doesn't warrant selection. He hasn't been woeful but he hasn't been a top 5 NSW prop.

If the stats for Moylan don't count they won't for others.

That Queensland pack is very beatable provided we don't pick software cocks Timid Tamou and Aaron Wools.

QLD pack has been beatable for 37 years. It means shit.

Origin is about 17 players contributing to the cause, not just 9. QLD players grow an arm and a leg in the maroon jersey because each player is there to lift the other. NSW has had individuals for ions!

NSW players spread more thinly across the NRL
