I'm expecting the Warriors to get better, tbh...
theres only so far backwards they can go until they have to start going foward...

Lol so true...

Yeah I was going to mention Hodges as well, he has to be in the centres...

What would your team be Simon?
1 Clinton Schifcofske
2 Greg Inglis
3 Brent Tate
4 Justin Hodges
5 Billy Slater
6 Darren Lockyer
7 Johnathon Thurston
8 Steve Price
9 Cameron Smith
10 Shane Tronc
11 Dallas Johnston
12 David Stagg
13 Ashley Harrison
Reserves
14 Shaun Berrigan
15 Petero Civoniceva
16 Nate Myles
17 Michael Crocker

Matt Sing i dont think is playing origin this year, Schif surely has to be there, even if hes not im still picking him in my side. With Stagg in the backrow we have an 80 minute player who will make 50 tackles, Berrigan on the bench because he can play anywhere, ive also gone with a pretty big bench, but its essential if we are to compete with the likes of O'Meley coming off the bench...

Nice side, still would have Bell over Tate anyday of the week on his current form.

Payne is a good player, but Smith is made for Origin, works his **** off and makes A LOT of tackles and really plays his heart out. Hes also the goalkicker (if Schif isnt picked).
I would have loved to put Payne on the bench but i think he plays better in the starting side and its not really neccisary to have Payne and Berrigan...

Forget Payne and Smith , PJ Marsh is a must IMO.


And Simon, that is a good side... I would have the exact same backline, but I don't like your back row.

Crocker, Stagg and Harrison will get murdered by Kennedy, Menzies, Watmough etc.

I like Stagg, and Harrison probably deserves a spot as well... tbh I can't think of too many other Queensland back rowers to replace them.

its a tough one cause Tate hasnt played any footy this year, Bell would be my 3rd choice cause Tonga is struggling... Tate is an incumbent and if he comes back from injury and plays good footy he'd be picked, but i wouldnt be too disapointed if Bell was there...

for the record i think Tate is due back next week...

Marsh is out for a minimum 6 weeks anyway which has pretty much dashed his origin chances, i think our backrow is ok, Crocker is picked on default as really one of the few options we have, Stagg is made for origin, i think he will lift for it. Harrison deserves a chance as he played game 3 last year, but Tonie Carroll is still lurking....

actually i just remember, Dallas Johnston has to be in that side, im putting him in at 11, Crocker to the bench and Carl Webb gone...

Oh yeah, completely forgot about Hindmarsh...

Didn't see Parramata play in the weekend, how did Marsh get injured?

Ryan doesnt deserve his spot, and Menzies will miss out again

In other news Sonny Bill Williams is due back in week 6 for the dogs clash with Souths.

Ironically he suffered his injury last year against the same team...

I'll go:

1 Anthony Minichello
2 Matt King
3 Mark Gasnier
4 Matt Cooper
5 Eric Grothe
6 Jon Sutton
7 Matt Orford
8 Mark O'Meley
9 Danny Buderus
10 Luke Bailey
11 Nathan Hindmarsh
12 Andrew Ryan
13 Craig Fitzgibbon

Reserves
14 Steve Menzies
15 Willie Mason
16 Robbie Farrah
17 Ben Creagh

hmm forgot about Creagh, i personally hope Ryles doesn't get anywhere near the side and i would be tempted to pick another front rower over Bailey, just waiting for Kite to hit some better form.

EDIT: Jon Sutton in for Barrett, a bit of a smokey but i think his good enough to play orgin and what NSW need without Johns.
