Gordon not up to origin standard.
Sutton has not played on the big stage often enough and goes missing when the chips are down... Shouldn't be anywhere the rep scene for a while
Heighington is a very good player.... but there are 7 or 8 backrowers ahead of him.
Steve Roach was saying the blues need to pick a team that can score a lot of points.
I just can't agree with this mentality. Regardless of who you pick, QLD will kick well, run the ball up well, get repeast sets and get 3 tries a game on average before you take into account the individual brilliance of Inglis, Slater and Thurston.
The key is to pick the right defensive outfit. One that will not gift Inglis room, that will cover the infeild chip to Slater, and a team that will not fall for the Thurston show and go.
I think Idris and Jennings will just gift too many tries. Have to pick a team with simply no wekanesses in D.
My backline is:
1. Hayne
2. Morris
3. Cooper
4. Scott or Lewis
5. Tahu
6. Barret
7. Pearce
Less points ine centres than the team u picked but much better halves IMO and centres that will crowd Inglis all day
Gordan is killing it in nrl week in week out but he is a 90% goal kicker that s all
both dragon center nice one all D and no attack
Sutton has not played on the big stage often enough and goes missing when the chips are down... Shouldn't be anywhere the rep scene for a while SO WHY PICK PEARCE (Pearce looked awesome when the sharks gave it to them)
Souths are playing well and so is sutton
In the end it dont really matter can we really beat them before the series is over????
1.Hayne
2.Dugan
3.Tahu
4.Idris
5.Morris
6.Barrett
7.Kimmorly
8.Weyman
9.Ennis
10.Leroy Lahs
11.Hindmarsh (C)
12.Cregh
13.Gallen
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
14.Gidley
15.Manah
16.O'Doneld
17.Waterhouse
i think this is the NSW team i like and no exceptions dno but that's my opinion lol
I hate having both Copper and Scott in the side. I would prefer attack any day of the week.. But we simply have to stop Inglius, Thurston and Slater. Especially when Slater has a tendeacy for errors when things not going well and Inglis goes quiet with limited oppotunity.
I agree series is over. But the backline I picked (and the backline the selectors picked) should have us in the game with 20 mins left.... then maybe the football gods can shine on us:)
And i said the Selectors don't seem to pick smaller guys at least i could drop Gordan as a winger and goal kicker then.
Well the selectors have been right before i can t remember when that was but i m sure they were lol
Did Cooper shut down Inglis in the 1st game (don't think so)
Will need more than the football gods
Look at Lyon who is considered one of the best defenders in the league. In the first origin Inglis carved up Idris and Lyon. When Inglis scored or set up teh long range try Lyon was sliding, Idirs was up and in and Hayne was standing back (probably confused what to do next). Defensive configurations are so important. On this occassion we had 3 different players using 3 different defensive styles stadning shoulder to shoulder...... Last time I checked we don't have enough points in any NSW team to counteract the leaking of points like this.
