Well time has come to start thinking about Origin. Here is my NSW side...what are your thoughts on who should be in the team???
1 Jarrod Hayne (he is a freakish athlete, may be in poor form but he is a proven origin winner)
2 Brett Morris (easy choice at wing, current form almost warrant him the fullback position)
3 Michael Jennings (played well in the game time he has last series, elusive and can find his way to the line)
4 Chris Lawrence/Matt King/Josh Morris (unsure who should play here)
5 Akuila Uate (easy choice, runs at the line hard and troubled the QLDers last year)
6 Todd Carney (as much as some ppl here hate him he is a freak and is the form 5-8, hope he rekindles his partnership with pearce)
7 Mitchell Pearce (although not in his best form I cant see anyone else playing 7, will be good with Carney beside him)
8 Paul Gallen (we have more backrowers than frontrowers, thats why he is here, plus Stuart will play him here)
9 Danny Buderus/Michael Ennis (Buderus has been there before, Ennis gives some good mongrel...could be either)
10 Michael Weyman (traditional prop who will run the ball hard at the line and get some good metres)
11 Greg Bird (proven origin player, has some mongrel in him and always performs at the top level)
12 Anthony Watmough (always a safe player to put in your starting lineup)
13 Luke Lewis (easy choice, he was excellent yesterday against the tigers)
Interchange:
14 James Tamou (havent seen much of him, but if he is good enough to play for Aus then he should play origin)
15 Beau Scott (versatlile, can come in as a forward but if we have a back injured he can play in the centres)
16 Feleti Mateo (super form for the warriors, would be great to have in the side)
17 Utlity Back - who is there? Is Gidley fit? Maybe Ennis of Buderus gets the 9...cant really see anyone who stands out
