Origin 2013 NSW side

[grouch]

Brett Morris dominated Uate again yesterday. Was all over him in defence, and brushed him away effortlessly for the first try.

 

[Rod]

Dominated :lol:.

Uate's attempt for Morris' try was poor. Apart from that both had quiet-ish games. Uate ran hard when given the chance but the game was forward-orientated, both him and Morris barely saw the ball. Not a game in which to judge one over the other.

 

[legend]

This is the team I think the selectors will go for:

Stewart
Hayne
Jennings
Morris
Morris
Bird
Pearce/Reynolds
Gallen
Hoffman
Lewis
Tamou
Farah
Grant

Mannah
Tolman
Woods
Watmough

 

[Hutty1986]

The Morris brothers together on the same side would be very, very strong. + Hayne has to be there somewhere. But it'll all come down to Farah to be a key play-maker if we pick useless f*cks like Pearce & Carney again.

Yeah he did, and its been a mystery as to why Aku cant man-handle players in defence. He is bigger and stronger than most wingers yet goes in very soft 1-1. Its especially vexing when you see him power over forwards taking the ball back.

Goal kicker?

That and Daley is back and as such Gidley will be there again ruining it for everybody.

 

[SydneyRaider9]

Nathan Merritt deserves a wing spot.

 

[Señor]

Bird isn't going to be in the halves. Even Daley isn't that stupid.

As seen in the All stars, they were excellent against the current QLD centre.

It took a QLDer (Bennett) to put them together, this is why we do not win these things, we pick them then put them of different sides of the field.

 

[Pete Cash]

Daley loves tll and he's been in pretty good form. Could be a dark horse if he keeps his form up .

Didnt they both play on the right side in SOO game 3 last year?

 

[Allstar Knights]

Bird isn't going to be in the halves. Even Daley isn't that stupid.

Johns said he'd have Bird at 6 on The Sunday Footy Show. Fitler has said it before, too.

I hope Daley doesn't do it, or we're well and truly screwed.

 

[Señor]

Fittler also claimed that Hayne was more deserving of the Australian five-eight spot ahead of Thurston. Those two specialise in making idiotic statements that are detatched from reality.

I think most sensible people (and Daley too) appreciate that Bird is an excellent second rower but a poor five-eight. I think there would be quite a long list of other options in the halves before Daley would go for Bird.

 

[Spot On]

Yep, he bundled Inglis into touch once and everybody has been fawning over him since. He didn't defend well against Inglis otherwise.

Yep, two bad misreads that resulted directly in tries.

Morris kept Inglis very quiet last year. He was a standout for us. To attempt to argue differently highlights your poor understanding of the game.

f**k, it just gets worse. Please do tell us who should play in the halves for NSW. Let's get it out there before the series kicks off.

 

[Tone83]

I remember last origin noticing that morris (don't know which one/don't give a shit/doesn't matter) quite clearly had the specific assignment of targetting GI and once or twice he seemed to surprise GI by being right up his arse vigorously attacking him as soon as the ball touched his finger tips, with GI being a bit "wtf" and being contained by the extra special treatment.

I hardly, however, see this as a morris having GI's number. If GI is expecting such fervent persecution he might just take it upon himself to school the neckless boys extra hard and be an even bigger pain in the arse for the blues.

I also think the same special assignment could be given to anyone and they'd be as effective as whichever morris it was, it was more about the strategy and commitment than any ability morris has.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Have you named a team sam?

Put your money where your mouth is

Cue Sutton at 6......

 

[Tweed Titan]

I'm worried about the midget back line we have...it's going to be a bomb fest

Not sure how people can pick Hayne either. Sorry, but he isn't doing enough for me at the moment

1. Brett Stewart
2. Akilia Uate
3. Josh Morris
4. Michael Jennings
5. Michael Gordon
6. Todd Carney
7. James Maloney
13. Luke Lewis
12. Anthony Watmough
11. Paul Gallen
10. James Tamou
9. Robbie Farah
8. Tim Grant

14. Greg Bird
15. Josh Jackson
16. Wade Graham
17. Aaron Woods

:sarcasm:
Surely you jest! We only have 321 back rowers more seasoned and talented than your home-boy?

One is a left winger, the other a right centre. It is that simple. Or should we play one of them out of position just because they are twins?

 

[Snappy]

Daley just said on Matty Johns show that Mitchell Pearce will def play number 7 if he's fit
