Origin 2009

[Assassin]

The QLD team will be pretty predictable so I won't bother there but I do agree with a few of scottys additions to NSW, heres mine. I think this backline has some good attacking flair, coopers solid but I think its time to introduce some flair to the outside backs.

NSW:

1. Stewart
2. Hayne
3. Jennings
4. Monaghan
5. Quinn
6. Barrett (c)
7. Wallace
8. O'Meley
9. Ennis
10. Kite
11. Laffranchi
12. Gallen
13. Mateo

14. Gidley
15. Bailey
16. Tupou
17. Hoffman

Imagine having that pack available and all playing at once, with players in the wings such as Hindmarsh, Watmough, Bailey. Qld need to have their best forwards available to go up against what NSW can pick.

they had those players available last season but instead elected to go with Cross, White & Fitzgibbon. LOL!

Remember Origin 1 2008 much???

I don't think Hodges is an automatic selection this year by any stretch. Tough times ahead for him is my prediciton.
