Didn't know Cliffy was in contention.

By the way it's Cliff Lyons
and Jamie Lyon... not Lyons
 
Re: Lyons selected for preliminary 40 man squad for State of Origin

Great that's all we need on the top of Bretts injury, losing Killer and Kite as well for Origin. Does anybody think they will actually pick Jamie ?? How long is Cooper out for ? If he is fit they'll go with him for sure, as he seems to have a mortgage on one spot. Actually does he play the same side as Jamie ?? If he does than that'll save Jamie.
 
Lyon will get picked and have to train with the Blues, but be selected as 18th man and miss both club and origin games. 

But it's just a 40man squad, no need to raise alarm bells. 
 
THE NSW Origin 40-man induction day squad has been named today ahead of game one of the State of Origin series on Wednesday, June, 3 in Melbourne.

The squad is
Luke Bailey (Titans),
Colin Best (Rabbitohs),
Terry Campese (Raiders),
Matt Cooper (Dragons),
Ben Creagh (Dragons),
Ben Cross (Knights),
Michael Ennis (Bulldogs),
Robbie Farah (Wests Tigers),
Paul Gallen (Sharks),
Keith Galloway (Wests Tigers),
Kurt Gidley (Knights).
Jarryd Hayne (Eels),
Ryan Hoffman (Storm),
Michael Jennings (Panthers),
Brent Kite (Sea Eagles),
Anthony Laffranchi (Titans),
Chris Lawrence (Wests Tigers),
Luke Lewis (Panthers),
Jamie Lyon (Sea Eagles),
James McManus (Knights),
Mark Minichiello (Titans),
Joel Monaghan (Raiders),
Josh Morris (Bulldogs),
Jarrod Mullen (Knights).
Luke O'Donnell (Cowboys),
Mitchell Pearce (Roosters),
Josh Perry (Sea Eagles),
Justin Poore (Dragons),
Anthony Quinn (Storm),
Michael Robertson (Sea Eagles).
Brett Stewart (Sea Eagles),
Glenn Stewart (Sea Eagles),

John Sutton (Rabbitohs),
Alan Tongue (Raiders),
Anthony Tupou (Sharks),
Peter Wallace (Broncos),
Trent Waterhouse (Panthers),
Anthony Watmough (Sea Eagles),
Michael Weyman (Dragons),
David Williams (Sea Eagles).
 
I keep reading the 18th man stuff, I can't recall 1 time that the 18th man has missed a club match, they normally join the squad after the weekend
 
Campese 5/8, Mullen 1/2

Notable omissions are Wing and Heighnington. No Hindmarsh, Fitzgerbil or Mason is a God send, let's hope it means their rep careers are dead and buried
 
Team representation:

Sea Eagles 8
Dragons 4
Knights 4
Bulldogs 3
Panthers 3
Raiders 3
Titans 3
Tigers        3
Rabbitohs 2
Sharks 2
Storm 2
Cowboys 1
Eels         1
Roosters 1

Did I miss something.  Are Manly on top of the comp?
 
Not top of the comp but have great players.

So good to see Mason left out.... I'm deadset sick of him playing for the blues. Now to get Hoffman off that list.

We are premiers of course we'll have a big contigency... can't believe Jarryd Hayne got picked!
 
Gidley
McManus
Cooper
