Don't know about that. 2007 SoO he was a shoe in, but no the NSW selectors (see footer) overlooked him.Disappointing, but congrats to Robbie... he was a shoe in.
Nope, won't affect origin chances.Heighington will probably front for a U.K. team. Galloway will front for Scotland. Not sure if this leads to any backlash towards Origin selections down the track.
I can't believe O'Donnell got picked more than anyone.
Between suspensions and Injuries, he's done f**k all for 2 years now.
Yet he gets picked in a squad ahead of, well f**k, any other back rower in the game with at least 10 matches to their name in first grade.
O'Donnell is about the only fearsome player in that squad. Our pack looks pissweak compared with the lesser Pacific nations, let alone the other top two.
Unfortunately there will be no real competition particularly without Money Bill Willaims out of what could have been a full NZ side with Benji even looking like playing. So once again the selectors can pick trash and we still win and make them look like ledgends.O'Donnell is useless, there is at least 10 better backrowers eligible for NSW. If O'Donnell is up there with the best, we are screwed.

Lets hope so...im very loyal to my country but i would laugh my arse off if we get flogged..They can still cause some damage, in 2005 they pulled the Aussies pants down big time when the Aussies picked a lot of hacks like this time.
