NSW Team

[ningnangnong]

How do you think they'll line up?

 

[Ari Gold]

Probably stubbornly, with Soward and Pearce or Gidley as the halves instead of Maloney and Campese.

 

[Broncoman]

Post mine a bit later.

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

Probably stubbornly, with Soward and Pearce or Gidley as the halves instead of Maloney and Campese.

Haha, so true.

I would pick the following team, based on what i have seen this year

1. Hayne / Stewart - personally id go b. morris if hayne isnt fit
2. B. Morris
3. Jennings
4. J. Morris
5. Uate
6. Maloney
7. WHO KNOWS?!
8. Snowden
9. Farah
10. Gallen
11. Watmough
12. Bird
13. Lewis

14. Mateo - HAS to be there if they are serious
15. Learoyd Lahrs
16. Merrin
17. Scott (can cover quite a few positions for them)

 

[Big Pete]

What I expect to see...

1. Brett Stewart
2. Brett Morris
3. Michael Jennings
4. Chris Lawrence
5. Akuila Uate
6. Jamie Soward
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Tim Mannah
9. Danny Buderus
10. Paul Gallen (c)
11. Beau Scott
12. Greg Bird
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Kurt Gidley
15. Tom Learoyd Lahrs
16. Anthony Watmough
17. Luke Lewis

Don't know what team I'd select...

 

[ningnangnong]

If Tim Grant shows the same form he did in round one when he returns from injury, I reckon he'll go close to a spot in the team.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I hope the NSW clowns pick B. Morris at fullback. Will be great for us IMO. It will be interesting to see if the pick Soward or not. Maloney is a must you would think.

 

[dukey]

I've been thinking about this the past few days, particularly after watching Buderus run the Knights yesterday. He really led from the front in attack and defence, if he keeps that form up I'd happily have him back in a Blues jumper.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't think any NSW half is a must at this stage of the competition.

There will be plenty of competition between the incumbents, Maloney, Mullen, Carney & Campese you would think.

 

[Fozz]

Assuming that all players will be available.

1. Josh Dugan
2. Brett Morris
3. Michael Jennings
4. Chris Lawrence
5. Akuila Uate
6. James Maloney
7. Anyone who has the faintest shred of form
8. Tim Mannah
9. Danny Buderus
10. Paul Gallen
11. Greg Bird
12. Tony Williams
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Kurt Gidley
15. Trent Merrin
16. Wattamong
17. Luke Lewis

Forgot about Tony Williams

 

[Bucking Beads]

1. Hayne
2. Morris
3. Jennings
4. Lawerence
5. Uate
6. Soward
7. Pearce
8. Mannah
9. Ennis
10. Snowden
11. Scott
12. Gallen
13. Lewis

14. Bird
15. Merrin
16. Gidley
17. Williams

 

[dukey]

I think it's unlikely that Soward or Pearce will get the flick. I can see a situation where Buderus starts and Ennis, Farah or Gidley come off the bench as a second hooker though. Stuart does seem serious about building the team for the future.

 

[Broncoman]

This is my CURRENT TEAM on form

1: Brett Morris
2: Jarryd Hayne (coming back next week)
3: Mick Jennings
4: Beau Scott
5: Akuila Uate
6: Todd Carney
7: Jamie Soward
8: Tim Mannah
9: Danny Budureas
10: Anthony Watmough
11: Greg Bird
12: Luke Lewis
13: GALLEN (captain)

14: Glenn Stewart
15: Kurt Gidley
16: Trent Merrin
17: Tim Grant

This is just the current side around Origin time i'll post the team I think NSW should pick. Good luck boys

 

[ningnangnong]

How can that team be picked 'on form', yet include Jarryd Hayne? :confused:

 

[Broncoman]

How can that team be picked 'on form', yet include Jarryd Hayne? :confused:

Because he has a massive influence on any team he plays for. The 20 minutes he's been on this year Parra looked were playing like a real team and his precense sparked Parra's attack continiously. He's best origin performances have come on the Wing and that's where I would place him. Pearce should get dropped though shows continiously he isn't up to the job same with Ennis.

 

[Ari Gold]

How can that team be picked 'on form', yet include Jarryd Hayne? :confused:

Form rating for Hayne = 0
Form rating for all other outside backs from NSW = -100

Therefore Hayne?

 

[Broncoman]

Say what you want, He's too good to be left out.

 

[Jeba]

I'd say Pearce will retain his spot, mainly because there's no other halfback in NSW that is screaming out for selection. Ricky will give the spine more chance to build I think, but Campese's early form may have Soward a bit worried.
