Possible NSW Origin Line-ups

[Balmain_Boy]

NSW must find a spot for Farah on the bench. He's in irresistible form.

 

[Jono078]

Everyone's been talking about Farah V Buderus.

But I think the selectors will take Buderus definitely, so then IMO it's Farah V Gidley.

Both been in great form. I think the only think Gidley has over Farah is he can play basically any position and has quite a bit more experience than Farah.

Id be happy to see either in the team.

I opted for Farah + Hoffman on the bench as opposed to Kidley, I think your small man on the bench has to be able to cover hooker and cover it well. If there is a problem in the backs Hoffman can slot into centre and most of the NSW threequarters are interchangeable between wing and centre.

 

[Misanthrope]

Seems a bit of a slap in the face to exclude the Dally M leader from the NSW side when he's easily up there with Thurston and Smith as the form player of the competition.

He could, perhaps, be included in the halves - if Kimmorley continues to be blacklisted for costing us a golden point game with his inadequacy.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Farah can play in the halves if needed, thats why he'd be a good option on the bench. Can easily slot into first or second receiver.

Whats been so impressive about Simpson this year that Brett White hasn't done?

 

[lockyno1]

Simpson is a test player- he receives automatic selection for game 1 basically

nothing. im a big simmo fan, but he has been really really quiet so far this year - the Knights best backrower has been Abraham

13. Ryan (Bulldogs) (vc)

14. Toupo (Roosters)
15. Simpson (Knights)
16. Ryles (Dragons)
17. Gidley (Knights)

All the Australian players are certanties to be picked. Gidley on the bench for his utility values (he can play any back position, as well as hooker) and Ryles becaues their aint any other good props avaliable (O'Meley wont be back for Game 1).

[gregstar]

any news on how oompaloompa #3's fitness test went?

i notice he as well as the rest of my selections haven't even got a gig in city/country!


f*cking outrageous!

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

hardest position battle to chose from would be the hooker position..

I hope Farrah is selected...easily the best 9 in the league today..and thats from a raiders fan lol.

[Matt23]

Anyone think Anthony Laffranchi can make the NSW bench?

 

[Mr Angry]

Hoffman for the bench and NSW will play 2 hookers Buderus and Farah.

 

[Deleted member 10972]

I have a feeling we'll go with the incumbents in most positions.

Mini/Stewart
Grothe
Lyon
Cooper
King
Anasta
Orford/Gower/Kimmorley
Bailey
Buderus
Kite
Simpson
Hindmarsh
Maitua/Hoffman/Gallen

Gidley/Farah/Campbell
Mason
Ryan
Tupou

 

[Kurt Angle]

After the weekend, Lyon shouldn't be there.

He was scorched by Matt Bowen all game, two of them led to tries.

King has played enough origin to move into the centres.

Halves look bad for NSW.. and Qld looks to have their best backline since 1989... bad for NSW

 

[aids]

having the firepower of a starting pack of

Mason
Buderas
Bailey
Hindmarsh
Ryan
Bird

would really capitilise on some real speed outwide.
which is why i think merrit would have been a good option.

any other NSW outside backs, have pure speed?
