NSW Origin Team

[I love Cooper]

NSW team for State of Origin I on June 3 in Melbourne:

01. Kurt Gidley (c)
02. James McManus
03. Jamie Lyon
04. Michael Jennings
05. Jarryd Hayne
06. Terry Campese
07. Peter Wallace
08. Brent Kite
09. Robbie Farah
10. Luke Bailey
11. Paul Gallen
12. Luke O’Donnell
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Craig Wing
15. Justin Poore
16. Michael Weyman
17. Ben Creagh

[Bullets]

Solid team, backline looks dangerous. The selection of Wing may suprise a few. Takes Gidley's old utility spot off the bench.

They still won't beat us though.

[grey sub]

I thought that Gallen the Grub was at lock?? and Stewart was in the second row.  Shame none of the boys from the Storm weren't picked but then after the game on Saturday night, I didn't think that any one pushed for a spot either.

[nacho]

no laffranchi?

[Christabella]

no laffranchi?

Quite surprising really, and I'm not sure what the selectors have seen in McManus to rate him ahead of Monaghan or Williams

[Bullets]

Monaghan is probably a bit unlucky. Thought they might go with him to try and counter our big backs.

Thought McMaunus deserves a spot, probably the most solid winger in the game these days.

The likes of Kite and Poore don't worry me. I don't think they picked the best forwards and bench they could have

[nacho]

also no soward is pretty surprising too

[Bullets]

also no soward is pretty surprising too

Where would you have Soward?

[nacho]

well campese hasnt been playing all that flash the past few weeks, but i thought he would have been included somwhere, hes been almost the most consistant player this year

What an absolute disgrace that NSW have allowed that Redneck Gallen to remain in the team!

After his comments he should be shunned for quite some time in order to eliminate racism from the game.
He is a pathetic, low life Grug who should be punished properly for his disgraceful behaviour!

have the claims that he racially abused Paea confirmed? cause all ive heard lately is that hes appealing the $10k fine

As a speed hump for Inglis & the other Maroons to roll over

Well the way Paea reacted you would have to say it was some sort of racist comment. No surprise coming from Gallen, one of the biggest on field grubs in the game
