Possible NSW Origin Line-ups

[Pistol]

Tongue- you kidding me right, as much as R69 will have a dummy spit at best he is a city/country rep.
Creagh- possibly doesn't help the dragons are crap!
Gallen- bird is far better and is 2 games back from injury

I would have something like this:

1. Minichello- he'll be there
2. King
3. Lyon
4. Cooper
5. Tahu
6. Carney
7. Kimmorley- f**k there is no one else!
8. Mason
9. Buderus
10. Kite
11. Hindmarsh
12. Ryan
13. Maitua
14. Kidley
15. Bailey
16. Hoffman
17. Bird/Creagh, etc.

strange to see a QLD supporter arguing points for a NSW team

 

[lockyno1]

Yes but I do hope NSW pick the best side as it feels better to beat the best side NSW can offer

 

[Misanthrope]

1. Minichello- he'll be there
2. King
3. Lyon
4. Cooper
5. Tahu
6. Carney
7. Kimmorley- f**k there is no one else!
8. Mason
9. Buderus
10. Kite
11. Hindmarsh
12. Ryan
13. Maitua
14. Kidley
15. Bailey
16. Hoffman
17. Bird/Creagh, etc.

What has Minichiello done in the last year to warrant a recall? Yeah, he was great in the #1 in 2005 and the years before - but it's grossly unfair that he walk back into the side after five average games when guys like Stewart, Kurt Gidley, and even Wade McKinnon are in better form.

Tahu will never play rep football again. It's the turncoat punishment.

Maitua in a representive side of any quality is offensive to me. I'd have Tongue, Gallen, or Bird ahead of him for lock forward.

 

[lockyno1]

Minichello is just starting to hit form. He'll be the fullback, Kidley on the bench. Tahu- well who else is there? Grothe is awful this year, hayne has been diabolical, and NSW as much as they should won't pick Merritt! Why is Maitua offensive to you? He is a damn good ball runner!

 

[Misanthrope]

Why is Maitua offensive to you? He is a damn good ball runner!

Because Bird, Tongue, and Gallen have all been better

 

[>zuzu<]

To leave it straight and simple, i would not be suprised to see any of the following in a blues jersey:

Backline: Minichello, Stewart, Merritt, Grothe, Tahu, Lyon, Cooper, King
Halves: Orford, Kimmorely, Gower, Hornby, Anasta
Forwards: Buderus, O Meley, Farah, Mason, Bird, Gallen, Matuia, Ryan, Bailey, Kite, Ryles, Kidley, Hoffman, Tupou, Simpson

That being said..

01. Minichello (Roosters)
02. King (Storm)
03. Cooper (Dragons)
04. Lyon (Sea Eagles)
05. Tahu (Eels)
06. Anasta (Roosters)
07. Kimmorely (Sharks)
08. Kite (Sea Eagles)
09. Buderus (c) (Knights)
10. Bailey (Titans)
11. Hindmarsh (Eels)
12. Mason (Bulldogs)
13. Ryan (Bulldogs)

14. Tupou ( Roosters)
15. Kidley (Knights)
16. Simpson (Knights)
17. Hoffman (Storm)

18. Bird (Sharks)

 

[league]

Robbie Farah is a must off the bench.

 

[Frederick]

No he's not

 

[icewind]

Yes he is. Even if he is to play at halfback at some stage.

 

[Dazzat]

On Sunday's night performance, I wouldn't be surprised to see Andrew Johns coming into the New South Wales team. The guy went the entire length of the field without a hand being laid on him. Amazing.

 

[Frederick]

No, he's not. Hornby and Gidley provide much more flexibility than Farah does. Farah will get his chance when Buderus retires from rep footy, or is dropped.

 

[macavity]

1. Kidley
2. Stewart
3. Lyon
4. Cooper
5. King

6. Carney
7. Mullen

8. Bailey
9. Buderus (c)
10. O'Meley
11. Hindmarsh
12. Mason
13. Bird

14. Ryles
15. Kite
16. Simpson
17. Creagh

that is the team they should pick.

Bird can cover backline/halves problems and they are form players (bar arguably simpson, cooper and king)

time to put a future-focussed halves pairing up.

I have NFI what Tupou does to make rep teams. he is good, but not Kangaroo (or Blue) good.

Maitua is a hack.

 

[macavity]

and I will add, Lyon should never be seen in a 6 jersey.

 

[voltron]

NSW Origin side for Round 1 (my opinion)

1. Mini
2. Stewart
3. Tahu
4. Lyon
5. King

6. Anasta
7. Kimmorley

13. Topou
12. Hindmarsh

14. Kidley
15. Kite
16. Ryan
17. Matuia/Laffranci

16. G.Stewart
17. Kite

That side would get mauled. El Masri & Merrit would get smoked in defence with Tate and Inglis/Slater/Bowen/Wesser bearing down on them! The pack isn't to bad, but barring shocking form and something sensational from Farah no-one in their right mind would pick Farah over Buderus. What happens if there is an injury to one of the halves? Do you switch Greg Bird to five eighth? Or Dean Widders? Needs a Hornby/Gidley utility.

And Glenn Stewart? Please.
