16.Anthony Watmough
17.Mark Minichello

its a gun team
 
looks a good side on paper Copa, you're probably not too far off the mark. All those players are definately deserving of a NSW jersey. Josh Dugan may be another year or 2 off playing for NSW. I'd replace Dugan, with Hayne on the wing and Snake at fullback!
 
From a QLDer view its a much better side than previously on show.
I wouldn't have White or Watmough there though.
 
Without seeing Snake play yet, I'd have Hayne on the wing & Dugan at fullback.

Dugan is a better fullback than Hayne. Hayne just needs to be there to work his magic, which he can do from the wing or anywhere. He's not positionally strong enough to be a rep #1.

If Snake comes back all guns blazing, it'll be a tough choice.
 
If Uate repeats the 2010 form, he's a good shot for a sky blue jersey.

Watmough does not deserve an Eagles jersey let alone a sky blue one based on his 2010 form.

Uate is a must for the side, Hayne and Dugan are fullbacks, they play there or not at all

Apart from the fact that Hayne isn't a fullback's a'hole.

He's a ball runner, a stepper & playmaker but he has no traditional position. With his speed, he is most suited to wing, coming in & doing what he does when he feels like it. Fullbacks have to stop trys by being in position, Hayne can't do this. Like Lockyer before him, his abilities are better suited elsewhere.
 
Then leave Hayne out of it altogether. Bad positional play + coming in when ever he feels like it is a surefire recipe for defensive disaster. Canetoads will have a field day.
 
As long as he holds his wing in defence, his attack justifies his selection. I think. For now.
 
Uate will get in the side provided no injuries but it's a joke he's allowed to play Origin at all, he only represented Fiji last year
 
Hayne represented Fiji at the last World Cup too and he played Origin last year and this

Rules were relaxed for the World Cup and then tighten afterwards to stop players from switching rep teams
 
If that is the case then it cheapens the whole thing even more. I have no problems if Uate wants to play Origin for NSW, certainly no worse than Adrian Lam playing for Queensland.

Or New South Welshman Greg Inglis playing for Qld

[/quote] It's pretty clear that the only loyalty Inglis has is to himself.  Qld realised this earlier than most.
