The NSW team is confirmed? If so, why did they pick Walker? Other than him, the team is actually really good. I guess it is NSW though so they need to have some what the selection that boggles the mind.

It's not officially Dylan Walker yet, he's just there as a place holder until they announce their 1-17. I'm not going to write down their entire 19 man squad with no numbers next to their names like Laurie Daley wants me to.

 

[Unbreakable]

Morris & Frizell have been released from camp, the team I named is the team they'll play with.

 

[vertigo]

No Scott/Morris to worry about marking up on JT/Inglis.

Cheers Laurie!

 

[Broncs1459]

That NSW bench is huge. Hopefully we hold them through the middle.

 

[Super Freak]

The bigger the forwards, the quicker they tire.

Lillyman in camp today.

 

[Sproj]

To cover who?

 

[tommy]

Lillyman in camp today.

I read somewhere he turned down the oppurtunity to be 18th man. Did he change his mind?

 

[Super Freak]

A change made to the NSW squad.

I hope we bomb the shit out of Ferguson all night - looked really shakey under the high ball when he was playing at the back for the Roosters.

 

[Super Freak]

We don't need to worry about Mansour anymore.

Dugan is just another Hoffman. Better, but doesn't pass the ball.

 

[Broncs_Fan]

I reckon NSW win this game easily.

 

[Sproj]

I'm still baffled, what exactly does Wlaker bring to the table in any position let alone utility?

 

[jarro65]

Dugan ruled out with an elbow injury

 

[Mitch06]

Dugan ruled out with an elbow injury

That's a shame...I get the feeling we would have been able to exploit that right hand edge with Fergo and Dugan being found out.

Speed, blistering acceleration. If he is given a roving commission he will cause havoc. I too thought it was a dumb selection at first but now I'm not so sure.
