NSW Team

[Brookvale]

I like your team Disco, here is my picks with slight changes.

1. Kurt Gidley
2. Joel Monaghan
3. Michael Jennings
4. Jamie Lyon
5. David Williams
6. Jarrod Mullen
7. Peter Wallace
8. Luke Bailey
9. Michael Ennis
10. Brent Kite
11. Anthony Laffranchi
12. Paul Gallen
13. Luke O'Donnell

14. Luke Lewis
15. Micheal Weyman
16. Glenn Stewart
17. Keith Galloway


What a tough task againt the mighty Queenslanders.

The key is that the 1,6,7 & 9 picked here have combinations at Newcastle and Brisbane (last year). Killer and Wolfman outside back combo.

Campese is a year off (he looked unfit against panthers last week and outplayed last night).

Robbie Farah had 5 years to make the team (couldn't even crack a bench spot), plus he hates Manly.

Props - We need experienced props to start with enthuisatic up and comers on the bench. Luke Lewis can cover anywhere.

Luke O'Donnell to start and cause havoc, maybe instigate the cattledog call and smash Lockyer and Thurston.

Minicello and Watmough are in the origin mould and should get a run later in the series.

I think this year NSW can establish a really good backline and dominate QLD.  Morris with 4 tries last night, Lyon 3 today... plus we have some good wingers at the moment - Monas can mark against Folau and Hayne played well for once.  Williams is up there too.  As for centres, plenty to pick from.  Things are looking good for this year, so long as they all gel together
