Still no Tolman lol
i've got absolutely nothing against the guy, i mean if i were to select 3 props than he would be my first pick. but he dosen't suit my approach, i want to start fast and want my props absolutely smashing the line, i don't want to play a grinding game coz QLD will just go bang bang bang and be 18 up !

I have no idea what Ricky is thinking here, but clearly Pearce, Soward, Mullen will be the players. Carney was the plan not sure what plan B is. CvC might decide this. My guess is Soward and Mullen may get it, Soward to still be right with Gas, Mullen may get the nod over Pearce being a lefty.

I think this may actually go against Mullo if they pick Soward at 5/8. It may be prefered to have a left and right kicking option rather than 2 left footers.

I went with pretty much Mr Angry's side on the Telecrap poll. I think the squad he picked will be very very close to Stickys.

1. J Hayne
2. B Morris
3. J Morris
4. M Gasiner
5. A Uate
6. J Soward
7. J Mullen
8. K Snowden
9. M Ennis
10. K Galloway
11. G Bird
12. B Creagh
13. P Gallen (c)

14. T Mannah
15. Weyman (if else T Learoyd-Lars, thanks for fixing my brainfart Tommy Smith)
16. J Idris
17. B Scott

18. M Pearce

I think that is a solid team that can do the job. Some of the rif raf will miss out (K Gidley), due to injuries. The only selection in that I'd replace would be Idris with a fast, strong ball running second rower, or a grubby second rower like Watmough.

The same Shillington that played for Qld last year?

A little late to claim him as a NSWelshman champ

Id go

1. Dugan
2. Hayne
3. Idris
4. Gasnier
5. Gordon (But they will go Morris)
6. Soward
7. Pearce/Mullen (Undecided - bit of a playoff in this fridays match)
8. Snowden
9. Farah
10.Weymann
11.Bird
12.Watmough
13.Gallen

14.Lewis
15.TLL
16.Creagh
17.Mannah/Tolman/Galloway - Bit of a playoff this week in the rep game.

What I like about my team at the moment is the Gallen/Bird/Watmough combination. While it wont happen, these 3 have the ability to intimidate QLD and somewhat bash them. They are very very physical.

As well as that in the ball touching positions, if you have Dugan, Soward and Farah, you have 3 guys there who legitimately would have QLD a little worried. This is as opposed to last year where you had Gidley (average), Kimmorley (no flare), Ennis (no flare) and Bird (good player, not a ball player though), in ball touching positions.

Plenty of players in that NSW team who can take the game away from QLD.
