Connor Watson to make Origin debut

[The Lip]

Well deserved as he can play 1, 6, 13, 8 & 9.

And a good looking Rooster to boot.

Stop saying he' can play prop

Clearly he's there to counter Lindsay Collins' dominance in the front row.

[Nathan Aboud]

He so deserves it!!!

Glad Teddy didn't get picked as we will need him on Saturday and I think Brandon Smith will have a blinder on Saturday whilst Connor is away.

Big congrats to Connor….but bloody hell I hate origin. Should be played completely separately to main comp. Jack of us losing to those Canterbury pricks…and we WILL this weekend, with 5 of our 1sts out for a nothing game.
Just as we are within sight of the 4, we’ll get lapped by the filthy dogs.

He’s all heart. Deserves some personal accolades after fighting back from injury.

Annoying that Burton isn’t in the squad at all either. So he’ll have a blinder against us no doubt. Crichton is a big loss for them at least. We threw away 2pts against the depleted Cows we can’t do the same against the Dogs

Well done Connor

On the style Madge seems to wanna play, I’d go Barnett over Yeo.

Barnett is versatile and has a hard edge. I like him!

I think Maguire may have been influenced by Yeo's performance in last years game 3 . Yeo can ball-play and his late offload can be quite effective. I'd have Api @9 otherwise good looking team,. NSW Should win game 2 Imo.

Hahahaha

[Andrew Walker]

Very pleased for him I’m sure he will play well too and cement his spot

IMO the fact that NSW always loses and cops shyte from the media makes it even worse. Particularly when your team's coughing up its much needed players just so they can get sh@t on by everybody.

It's great if your team has Smith, Slater, Cronk...etc winning every year and being on cloud 9 after it. However we're never that team. If anything, we're the constant scapegoats with Pearce, Teddy (and Freddy). It gets boring!!!
