Origin One - your teams

[Timmah]

Based on last night and this season so far... your Origin 1 teams...?

NSW:
1. Minichiello
2. Tahu
3. Gasnier
4. Cooper
5. King
6. Gower
7. Wing
8. Mason
9. Buderus (c)
10. Ryles
11. Hindmarsh
12. Simpson
13. Fitzgibbon

14. Menzies
15. Anasta
16. O'Meley
17. Hodgson


Not sure about that bench, maybe drop Anasta and throw a forward in, or drop Hodgson and do the same.

It's tough to pick but I can't imagine any of the test players missing out.

1. Lockyer
2. Hunt
3. Tate
4. Hodges
5. Bowen
6. Thurston
7. Prince
8. Civoniceva
9. C Smith
10. Price
11. O'Donnell
12. Carlaw
13. Carroll (has he hung up the boots?)

14. Hmmm
15. Hmmm
16. Hmmm
17. Hmmm



Also, Isn't it time to shift this baby up to the top of the forum ;-)

O'Donnell is a Blue, Timmah.

What use is Hodgson on the bench? Minichello is the best fullback in Aus and besides he won't get injured. Hornby is a far better option for his versatility.

If NSW are considering a back up hooker they must choose either Young or Wing for the same reason.

Wing at starting halfback would be awful.

I would much prefer O.D, Galea, Waterhouse or Watmough over Fitzgibbon.

Has Matt Sing retired for good this time? QLD have a few injuries and suspensions...

What I think it will be:

14. Harrison
15. Webb
16. Tronc
17. McGuire


What I THINK it should be:

1. Lockyer
2. Inglis
3. Bell
4. Hodges
5. Wesser (or Sing if he is available)
6. Thurston
7. Prince
8. Civinoceva
9. Smith
10. Price

Though I'd be tempted to perhaps go for a all forwards bench with Thaiday or even Matt Scott being bolters.

We got no wingers tho. I would have Hegarty ahead of anyone else tho, coz he's got the experience and he's not playing too bad either

Who else have we got? Bowen is not a winger and Boyd has been playing well. With Slater out for Origin 1 there is not many options!

1. Karmichael Hunt

& again FFS

& again FFS

Why not? There are a few broncos in my backline and that played quite a bit of a role in selecting Hunt. He has his combo with Hodges/Lockyer. Bowen I feel is better off the bench and Slater is unavailiable.

Hegarty not playing too bad? FMD...:x

Have you watched ANY Souths games?

Believe it or not he will be in the selectors minds, and that is saying something!

If they dont go with Bowen then it has to be Greg Inglis ... hunt could only dream of playing as well as Ingliss is..
