The Really Early NSW Team 2012 Thread That Will Be Hated By All!!!

[Joker's Wild]

f**king oath, starts for oz.

would be my 13.

I think he is better playing down the one side, running wide and linking with our outside men. Id have him in the 2nd row with either Watmough or Bird at lock, roaming around the middle.

Either way he certainly has to start, with (VC) next to his name

 

[timka4]

Yeah Lewis on the left and Stewart on the right would work well imo. I like Bird at lock, watmough off the bench is still his best position in rep games I think.

 

[umina panther]

Gordon Lewis and Jennings on the left together

 

[timka4]

Not sure about anyone else, but I've been keeping a very close eye on the NSWelshmen in the 4Nations. Lawrence has been solid in Australia vs NZ and vs NZ in England. But he was average tonight against England I thought.
I'm wondering if it had to do with him playing on the right hand edge or not.

Williams scored a good solo try, but I'm still not convinced he is better than other second rowers we have, also not sure if he can get through 40 minutes of workload in origin conditions. If he was to play from the bench, I'd play him in the last 25 mins max.

Although reading his stats he (Lawrence) made 26 tackles, 2nd highest in the backline was Lockyer with 19 tackles, 3rd highest Inglis with 15 tackles, so he had a big workload. Made more Metres than Inglis as well. (79-68).

 

[Joker's Wild]

Aside from his dropped ball, I though Lawrence was good. Better than Inglis anyway

 

[andrew057]

Lawrence was poor. I hope NSW pick him next year.

 

[timka4]

Lawrence was poor. I hope NSW pick him next year.

it was probably his first under performance in a long time. And even then he wasn't that bad. Happily have him in the side.

 

[Fordy20]

Gets f**ked around because he can cover so many positions. If a centre, winger, fullback or half gets hurt then move him, theirs going to be another second row on the bench.
and no Gidley please unless he's starting hooker playing 80mins

Gidley will be relief hooker for Buderus.

 

[Pazza]

T rex is doing great for the Kangaroos, would look great in the sky blue!

 

[goosie]

gordon has to be in there for his goalkicking and ability to cover a few positions centre,wing, fullback.

 

[get amongst it]

Jennings can't tackle. I would have gordon ahead of jennings by a mile.
backline of:
1.Dugan
2.Uate
3.Lawrence/Gordon
4.Lewis
5.Hayne

 

[goosie]

backline:
1.B stewart
2.M gordon
3.C Lawrence
4.M jennings
5. A Uate

 

[goosie]

luke lewis starts in the backrow. need speed in the backline imo.

 

[Yosh]

So the must haves are:

Hayne
Uate
Gallen
Watmough
Lewis

Anyone else a must have?

Tim Mannah!

One of the best young players in the game who has already played four origin games and shown he isn't intimidated by the more experienced and highly fancied QLD props.

 

[RHCP]

Greg Bird deserves to be on that list.

 

[farmeister]

Greg Bird deserves to be on that list.

Agreed. Hayne, Uate, Gallen, Watmough, Lewis, Bird for sure. Everyone else is debatable.

For what it's worth, here's my team:

1. B. Stewart
2. Gordon
3. Jennings
4. Hayne
5. Uate
6. Soward
7. Pearce
8. Gallen
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Scott
12. Lewis
13. Bird

14. Mannah
15. TLL
16. Watmough
17. Gidley

Back up: Dugan, Lawrence, Maloney, Snowden, G. Stewart, T. Sims

 

[Hutty1986]

Lawrence was poor. I hope NSW pick him next year.

:lol: We'll be sure to quote you on that

 

[The Engineers Room]

I think Hayne may not get picked.

 

[timka4]

I think Sticky learnt his lesson, he'll be there. Especially seeming I think Hayne will play a lot better at the Eels next year as well, with some other decent backs around him.
