[Supergoose]

Matt Bowen, Billy Slater, Justin Hodges, Greg Inglis, Brent Tate (I'd go for Wesser), Darren Lockyer, Jonathon Thurston, Steve Price, Cameron Smith, Petero Civoniceva, Carl Webb, Brad Thorn, Dallas Johnson, Tonie Carrol, Antonio Kaufusi, Sam Thaiday, Karmichael Hunt

Anthony Minichiello, Jarryd Hayne, Matt Cooper, Jamie Lyon, Matt King, Braith Anasta, Matt Orford, Willie Mason, Robbie Farah, Brent Kite, Nathan Hindmarsh, Andrew Ryan, Anthony Tupou, Ryan Hoffman, Steve Simpson, Luke Bailey, Kurt Gidley


I'd personally go for Rhys Wesser on the wing ahead of Brent Tate but that won't happen. I feel Wesser is in good form in a rubbish team and Tate hasn't played very consistently this year. Hunt or Berrigan on the Bench would be good - both are going average at the moment and neither commands a spot. Hunt and Bowen will probably be switched and they may play Berrigan on the bench if they go for another 80 minute forward other than Thorn.

Tate is one of those hard players that consistantly tries his best each game, making him hard to drop from any side but I agree with you and would love to see Slater, Inglis and Wesser all playing in the one side.

Man this is a tough side to pick!

1. Matt Bowen

7. Johnathan Thurston
8. Carl Webb
9. Cameron Smith

11. Sam Thaiday
12. Antonio Kaufusi
13. Tony Carroll

14. Shaun Berrigan??? I'm a bit concerned there about his club form. I reckon Aaron Payne would be another option here. He has been on fire, and of course has a great combination with Thurston. I don't think it will happen, but yea that would be another option.
15. Steve Price
16. Matthew Scott
17. Jacob Lillyman

Awesome bench but Bull should be wearing the 8 & i think Tahu had played his way into the side tonight before his hamstring gave out again.

[Chaos]

Too many opinions of the NSW team are from Queenslanders...what are we doing?...lets let NSW work it out for themselves.

Interesting stat
Out of the top 8 dally M leaders...6 were over looked for an Origin spot
Farah, Bird, Bowen, Prince, Slater and Stewart

Obviously selectors don't use current form.
