2006 Origin All-Stars Team

Darren Lockyer was voted player of the series, I ask members to nominate their team of the series using players from both Queensland and New South Wales. The winner of this Origin series was apparently going to gain some 'selection room weight' with Australian selectors ... time will tell on that one, though nominate one 1-17 your 'Team of the 2006 Origin Series'.

*No utility in my side, my aim was to fit primarily the best 17 players in to the side excluding a utility in the mould of Shaun Berrigan or Craig Wing.

The fullback position has to go to Brett Hodgson IMO - Queensland used three fullbacks in the series and no one player (especially Inglis) did enough to take out the position. I hope Hodgson is not remembered for just that pass. His position play was superb all series, he returned the ball well and was always supporting the player for NSW.

Nate Myles is a player who bolstered his reputation this series and it is little wonder that he has so many clubs chasing him, this was a defining series for Myles, he will be a better player for the rest of 2006.

I'm biased against Cooper and Gasnier as they are from the club I most despise but seriously Gas would not get a run. Cooper in for King maybe but he only got limited opportunity to show his wares. Dallas Johnson was an unlucky omission but I couldn't go past O'donnell who was fantastic. I think Qld showed that interchange is a specialty thing.

To those of you who picked Hodgson (What the ...?) Hunt was so much better in his time. Hodgson didn't just throw one bad pass he was rubbish all game in game 3 and I don't recall anything great in the previous 2 games either.

Funny that, I was going to say the same thing (What the ...?) about Matt King :lol!:

Karmichael had the one game performance from any fullback though I am not going to put him in the team over Hodgson on one game alone. That's just me.

Hodgson was not "rubbish" in all of game three :laugh: His positional play was once again excellent and the pick up at speed right before half time defused a potential disaster for NSW.

Hodgson was not faultless this series, though he was amongst the Blues best - Danny Buderus shares a similar opinion. He returned the ball well, was always in support and I cannot remember him spilling much ball if any.

I thought that King was better than Grothe for most of the series! I like your new sig Deegan. Maybe it should read Titans Vs the reigning premier Broncos, because that's where they're headed! Hopefully it is the same as the Broncos entry in 88 when they beat the reigning premiers. Hodgson still nowhere near as good as Hunt was though.

I have gone for Clinton at fullback as I just think that despite having a good series, Hodgson is just to small for rep football. By that I mean he seems to lack penetration when returning kicks and is too easily handled. He has the skill and the talent to play rep, but his stature and running style I think limit him - mainly from kick returns. With two fullbacks of similiar skill I would take the bigger one here.
