Your state's depth by position

[the kirwan kid]

It would be interesting to have a look at each State's depth in each position.

Here's my thoughts on QLD ... Bit skinny in the wings and utilities. NSW have blokes like gidley and Lewis who can play anywhere really.

As you can see we have ridiculous depth in the halves!

Reserves: Tasi, Ray Thompson, Prince, McQueen, Esi Tonga, Copley, Gagai, McCullough, Hunt, Kingston, Segeyaro, Fa'aoso, Costigan, Romelo, Stagg, Berrigan, Bolton, Bowen, Srama, Zillman, Bukuya, Ross, Guerra, Moga (if he ever plays), Graham.

Fin.

Depth has never been a strong suit for Queensland. Even during our peak we always had a shallow pool of talent. But this lot isn't too bad at all.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I always thought NSW had the much better depth, but QLD just relied on having a great top 17. I was obviously wrong.

There's not much between the two, really. NSW have the better B Grade team from 1-5 (Stewart, Gordon, J Morris, Lewis, Morris) QLD have much better halves (DCE, Sandow, Prince >>> Maloney, Soward and Mullen) Both teams have good depth in the forwards.

Pretty handy side, that.

Prince >>> Soward? Perhaps in 2008, but not now. Not by a long shot. And Sandow has never been better than Soward.
