Origin 2007: Name your teams

[Chaos]

Kurt Gidley is a Big Bolter for a SOO Jumper.

Yeah...I actually named Kurt Gidley as 5/8 in my last years NSW team but was cut down by many.
People are now seeing his skills now Johns isn't running the Knights.

[Robbie_Dee]

Winners:

1. Bowen
2. Slater
3. Bell, Tate or Tonga, depending on form at the time.
4. Hodges
5. Inglis
6. Lockyer
7. Thurston
8. Carl webb (If recovered by then)
9. Cam Smith
10. Petero
11. Carlaw
12. Price
13. Carroll

14. Aaron Payne
15. Thaiday
16. Jacob Lillyman
17. Depending on form, Johnson, Matt scott, or Shane Tronc.

Losers:

1. Kurt Gidley if he keeps it up
2. Grothe
3. Tahu

8. Big Willie
9. Buderus or Farah
10. Bailey
11. O'Meley
12. Kite
13. Reni Matua

14. Buderus
15. Hindmarsh (maybe Kite on bench and Hindmarsh in 12)
16. Ryan
17. Steve Simpson maybe...

QLD's backline looks rather fine indeed, NSW's forward pack not too shabby!

Not too sure about the NSW side, but I'd like QLD too look like that definitely!!!!

Unfortunately, Cooper Cronk is a Queenslander. Matt Orford should get the jersey if fit.

Titanium: how could you name Ben Hornby in the side on form? He has been woeful so far this year, with the exception of round 1. Craig Wing is more of a chance as a utility than Hornby is.

Steel Dragon, I am bloody hoping he improves... he is one of the best players around on his day and I know he's been about as impressive as paint drying in the opening rounds, but I hope he sparks, because not having him in the team will be a massive loss.

This is my side on form with NO incumbents...

1. Kurt Gidley
2. Nathan Merritt
3. Timana Tahu
4. Matt King
5. Eric Grothe
6. Jamie Lyon
7. Brett Kimmorley
8. Luke Bailey
9. Danny Buderus (c)
10. Brent Kite
11. Willie Mason
12. Nathan Hindmarsh
13. Reni Maitua

14. Andrew Ryan
15. Anthony Laffranchi
16. Michael Monaghan
17. Mark O'Meley

[hugebrianfan]

they better put Danny Buderus on as the blue number 9 Jumper Hes a great player and hes newcastle's captain

14. Andrew Ryan
15. Anthony Laffranchi
16. Michael Monaghan
17. Mark O'Meley

That side would be extremely tough to beat if it was picked for SOO and the game was a week away. Exactly why teams should be picked on form.

[Social Loafer]

Good to see Carney getting some recognition in many places, Jason Smith said he'd play for Australia
I'd be stoked if he plays Country Origin (Which he really should now). But looking at the other 5/8 options there really isn't much there... Unless they throw Jamie Lyon there, but you'd think he'd be in the centres.

[Social Loafer]

1. Ben Hornby
2. Anthony Quinn- pretty sure he is NSW>
3. Matt King
4. Jamie Lyon
5. Eric Grothe
6. Todd Carney
7. Craig Gower
8. Luke Bailey
9. Danny Buderus
10. Brent Kite
11. Willie Mason
12. Nathan Hindmarsh
13. Andrew Ryan

14. O'Mealey
15. Maitua
16. Ryles
17. Tongue (Utility+ field goal plays )

Really think Carney is ahead of Mullan at the moment, all depends if they want to blood someone new or play conservative and use a Hornby.Lyon in the role.

Jason Smith is a queenslander
