[Mr Saab]

Great bench for QLD LPP.
Plenty of starch coming on to continue the good work of thorn, petero, and price

 

[icewind]

lose Crocker in place of Stagg.

 

[Mr Angry]

Fitzgibbon or Ryan would be more likely to move to lock than Hindmarsh would

I know, that is a shame really.

Hindmarsh would be outstanding @ lock IMO

 

[LESStar58]

My QLD team....

1. Matt Bowen (probably a little more consistent than Billy ATM)
2. Matt Sing (glad he changed his mind...hes an assest to QLD and Australian RL!)
3. Willie Tonga (speed)
4. Sean Berrigan (gives the side some mongrel)
5. Billy Slater (can't really leave him out can you?)
6. Darren Lockyer (C) (picks himself)
7. Scott Prince (under pressure from Thurston but should be given first shot at the Blues....Prince is a regular half, Thurston in not)

13. Dallas Johnson (cos I'm biased) :lol:
12. Brad Thorn
11. Petero Civonecaiva
10. Carl Webb

Josh Hannay isn't exactly a winger

 

[Frederick]

QLD

1. Rhys Wesser
2. Matt Sing
3. Paul Bowman
4. Willie Tonga
5. Billy Slater
6. Darren Lockyer (c)
7. Jonathan Thurston
8. Steve Price
9. Cameron Smith

11. Carl Webb
12. Brad Thorn
13. Tonie Carroll

14. Ben Ross
15. Michael Crocker
16. Chris Flannery
17. Matt Bowen

NSW

1. Anthony Minichiello
2. Luke Rooney
3. Matt King
4. Luke Lewis
5. Eric Grothe Jnr.
6. Trent Barrett/Scott Hill
7. Matt Orford/Brett Kimmorely
8. Luke Bailey
9. Danny Buderus (c)

11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Craig Fitzgibbon
13. Ben Kennedy

14. Joel Clinton
15. Andrew Ryan
16. Steve Simpson
17. Craig Wing

I'm undecided on the NSW halves because, while Barrett is a great 5/8, you know that a Scott Hill & Matt Orford/Brett Kimmorely combination has the potential to wreak havok on the QLD team.

[icewind]

be nice to find a place for Rockin Rod as well.... versatile player that he is... centre/wing/second row/lock and freakin nimble too. hell qld will have some good selection headaches.

just wish Webcke was still playing, that would make the side perfect (price/civeno/webcke/webb/thorn) as the big metre eater men then johnson, stagg and carroll to provide freakin awesome defensive work rates.

arh well can't have em all.

that looks like a pretty good side, tho i wonder how well King plays on the wing vs centre. (tho it would be good for the cockys to have king, cooper and gasnier in the same side)
