Possible NSW Origin Line-ups

[icewind]

Hoffman seems to be firming (and rightly so imo) as a bench option

 

[boonboon]

Minichello
Grothe
King
Cooper
Lewis
Lyon
Kimmorley
Ryan
Hindmarsh
Mason
Bailey
Farah
Kite

Toupou- only cause he was in the test squad
Simpson- as above
O'Meley
Hoffman

takes a risk as if Farah or Kimmorley get injured no one to play that role but cant pick for injuries like that in SOO and these blokes are good enough to share that responsibilit around

 

[Balmain_Boy]

Lyon has been very, very ordinary this year. Even if he were eligible for Country selection I wouldn't have him in there. It's bizarre how poor he's been to be perfectly honest.

 

[Kurt Angle]

I can't see NSW winning if they try to match it with flair.

The only NSW eligible players who have enough flair for SOO level are Campbell and Farah, and I don't think either will be picked.

NSW is going to have to pick a team that can defend for80 minutes..

And why are people picking Bird over Gallen ?

Gallen has been desrving of this for over 2 years now, Bird has been a flash in the pan, having a good game against St. george this year.. and that's not really an accomplishment.

 

[Kingytek]

why doesn't anyone think Laffranchi is worth a chance?
All Bias aside he has been playing some freaking awesome football of late!

 

[lockyno1]

Same position as Hoffman and Hoffman has been on fire and can cover a few more positions.

True he can, and Hoffo has been playing great but Laffranchi has been playing better!

 

[macavity]

Gallen is a CAT and him getting a blue jersey would be a disgrace to the team.

I cant believe anyone could leave Kurt Gidley out of the team.

he is the form fullback of 2007 and deserves the Blues #1

Mini isnt back to his old form, and Stewart only has pace going for him - and Bowen showed him up bigtime.

 

[lockyno1]

True he can, and Hoffo has been playing great but Laffranchi has been playing better!

Hoffman deserves his chance first as he has been in form longer!

 

[Kurt Angle]

Gidley is a nuffy... in the same mould as Ben Hornby.
Like Hornby, you put Gidley in a rep side, and that rep side gets hammered.

 

[aids]

my honest team, with tiger bias


1. x
2. Collis
3. Lyon
4. Cooper
5. King

6. Zoolander
7. y

8. Bailey
9. Buderas
10. Kite
11. Mason
12. Hindmarsh
13. Ryan


14. Farah
15. Hoffman
16. Laffranchi
17. z



x = mini, stewart or kidley
y = gower, orford, kimorly or mullen
z = bird, matua, gibbs or white

 

[lockyno1]

Picked enough tigers players? Collis is behind a few I would imagine. O'Meley is a certainty on the bench. Bird or Maitua will be the other one, or possibly Kurt Gidley.

i heard omeley isn't going to be availble until after the first SOO game.
if he is, slot z is filled.

Farah deserves a spot.
Collis, wishful thinking, but i think we would go ok.
Gibbs is a snowball in hells chance, but i've seen stranger things happen.

:crazy:

they are nothing alike.

Gidley is the fittest player in the nrl and in hot form.

Hornby wouldnt get near rep sides if he played for any other team (bar Brisbane)

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Isnt O'Meley gonna be out. See Im more worried about wing spot, they've picked Roberts, Morris, El Masri and Hayne for city/country any of those would be a good chance.

At this stage:

Minichello
King
Lyon
Cooper
---- (winger spot up for grabs)
Anasta
Kimmorely/Gower
Kite
Buderus
Bailey
Hindmarsh
Mason
Ryan

Gidley
Simpson
Laffranchi
Tupou

strong backrow, and a decent bench. Im a bit worried about the backs.

 

[Disco]

With O'Meley and Ryles injured

I'd go with

1.Minni
2.Stewart
3.Lyon
4.Cooper
5.King
6.Anasta
7.Orford
8.Kite
9.Buderus
10.Mason
11.Simpson
12.Hindmarsh
13.Ryan

14.Farah
15.Bailey
16.Tupou
17.Hoffman

 

[dragonfire]
