Your NSW and QLD teams for State Of Origin 1

[RABK]

You obviously didn't watch any of his origin or test appearances. :roll:

 

[Bazal]

Simpson may be back near top form, but Hindmarsh is a lot better than he was when Simpson was the premier NSW backrower. Hindy is now probably the best backrower in the world, whereas Simpson is just a good backrower. He's no chance of an origin spot.

QLD in my opinion need Josh Hannay. They've relied too much on second string goal kickers over the past few years and I think it will hurt them if they do it again.

 

[RABK]

whereas Simpson is just a good backrower.

Mate actually watch a Knights game then try and say that. Although we haven't won a game yet no backrower as got the better of Simpson. His workrate isn't as high as Hindmarsh's but his defense is superior.

He's no chance of an origin spot.

No chance. So he has NO CHANCE. Idiot. :arrow:

 

[Tommy Smith]

Thurston is a very good goalkicker. On form he should be the HB.

QLD:

1-Clinton SCHIFCOFSKE
2-Billy SLATER
3-Willie TONGA
4-Shaun BERRIGAN
5-Matt SING
6-Darren LOCKYER
7-Jonathon THURSTON
8-Steve PRICE
9-Cameron SMITH
10-Petero CIVONICEVA
11-Brad THORN
12-Michael CROCKER
13-Tonie CARROLL

14-Carl WEBB
15-Ben ROSS
16-Chris FLANNERY
17-Matt BOWEN

I was a fan of having Bowen at the back but he would get killed under the high ball. So instead ive gone for Schif who at the start of the season would have been 4th on my list behind Bowen, Wesser and Slater. However ive warmed to him of late and come to realise that he's better in attack than he's given credit for. He was awesome when on the field against the Storm. And his defense is by far the best of any FB in the game.

The only Knights game I haven't seen this year is the one vs Bulldogs, coming from a largely Knights supporting family, so your jumping to conclusions has done nothing but make you look like a fool. As for his Origin chances, well, lets see who's above him shall we?

Hindmarsh
Fitzgibbon
Ryan
Waterhouse
Watmough
Morrison
Ben Kennedy

So yeah, I'd say he's no chance.

Don't worry RABK, obviously some people are letting their hatred of the Knights cloud their judgment. Saying Simmo has NO CHANCE, is fair dinkum just about the most stupid thing I have heard in a long long long time. I, like u RABK, believe Simmo has been very consistent this year, but has not been noticed bcos the team he is playing in is struggling. I assure u if we had of won maybe even 2 or 3 games, Simmo's name would have popped up. Seeing as we havent won a single game, u havent heard anything.

 

[RABK]

Then why haven't you noticed his good performances? Don't say there hasn't been any because he has been outstanding in every game.

As for his Origin chances, well, lets see who's above him shall we?

Hindmarsh
Fitzgibbon
Ryan
Waterhouse
Watmough
Morrison
Ben Kennedy

Yeah in your opinion, you ain't stuart so :arrow:

 

[Bazal]

Then why haven't you noticed his good performances? Don't say there hasn't been any because he has been outstanding in every game.

He's been good, I never said he hadn't. But the players I mentioned have been better, and therefore more deserving of an origin spot.

Yeah in your opinion, you ain't stuart so :arrow:

And neither are you....

 

[RABK]

Where did i come out with a ludicrous statement like "Simpson has no chance of missing the origin side" I merely put Simspons case forward. You on the other hand are of the thinking that your a selector me thinks. :roll:

But the players I mentioned have been better, and therefore more deserving of an origin spot.

Once again your opinion. Simpson's defense is better then all of there's so who's to say, Stuart might want a mix of defensive and attacking back rowers.

 

[Bazal]

Well I'd argue the point about Simpson's defence being the best, but he certainly offers nothing like what those players do in attack. I'm not thinking I'm a selctor, I'm using my brain. Logically, with those players in front of him, he has no chance of making the side unless through some sort of miracle.

 

[RABK]

but he certainly offers nothing like what those players do in attack.

Didn't watch the 2001 grand final did you. 8)

with those players in front of him, he has no chance of making the side unless through some sort of miracle.

Once again your opinion. Stuart has said he will look at proven players.

Even worse, I was there....you can't tell me he's anything like that attacking player at the moment, or even for the past 2 years...

 

[RABK]

:lol: I was there too. Has he had the luxury of a good team or Johns feeding him ball? Running of Kimmorley he would be deadly. Try and argue this. Running of quality passes at speed, Simmo is close to the most dangerous angle runner in the game. Surely you saw that in the Grand Final.

 

[Bullrider]

Everyone who has flannery in your side put Rocket Rod Jenson in and it will be a lot better. Jenson is electric and he can slot into from 1-5 and from 11-13. Bowen on the bench and Thurston at half and it will be good. And i am a Broncos supporter.
