No Craig Wing & No Mateo seem to be the biggest joke in the world.

 

[hellteam]

Craig Wing should be on the bench i reckon if Gidley is starting fullback (cause Stewart injured). Surely there are more better wingers in NSW then Quinn

 

[Mr Angry]

Lyon?

Why pick a guy who does not want to play?

 

[VictorTheViking]

Hayne and Hoffman?? LMFAO

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

No Johnny Cronk? You got my hopes up there Nick.

Poor Phil Gould, no Mad Dog, Hindmarsh, Mason, Anasta, Fitzgibbon, O'Meley or Young. Its possible that the selectors intend NSW to win this series.

Michael Gordon is a much better player then Anthony Quinn.

So dissapointed he didn't even make the extended squad. Hoping this doesn't mean that QLD will pick him.

 

[Gaba]

Why is pearce in there , f**k him out of there asap

 

[VictorTheViking]

I know its only a 40 man preliminary squad, but some of the players named......

Wing is the best utility in the game. Only one of Farah or Ennis should make it. Ennis is hardly versatile. Farah shows good signs at halfback but I don't think it complaces at origin level. Wing is proven at 6,7,9 for NSW Origin & Australia.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well at least Turncoat has left the squad, worst pick ever.

 

[Johns Magic]

mullen is the biggest myth of a selection....waste of a spot

I think he might finally be ready this year. He's been playing with a lot of maturity.

 

[sooperdooper]

some of those players named..... crazy!

players outside of it can still make it which is good...

 

[aussies1st]

Squad picked on rep rather than form.

 

[thehattrickrabbit]

I Disagree other Wing would be one of the first picked. He was selected in the 40 man World Cup Squad but misses out on the 40 man NSW Squad... Odd.

Michael Robertson? Lordie me. He's a competent first grader, but to be named in what is essentially a train on squard for origin is terrifying for the depth of rugby league at the moment.

No the squad is picked by morons who should be replaced
