I can't find anyone else in that line up of say maybe 30 players... that could captain NSW... if Braith gets picked, he might get it... but i think Gallen is the only club and suitable captain in that starting squad...?? what does everyone else think ???

Early days yet i know but hmm?

 

[hitman124]

Surely Mason wont be picked again.
Id have Hayne as a def starter, look out for a big 09 from him.


Gal would be a great captain.

 

[Bashem Bro 4 Life]

Hayne will get in hands down and pearce aint got a show in hell

 

[Rise_Against]

Mason will always be picked, because well, he is Willie Mason, he comes with the media, the media comes with state of origin.. sad but true!

and yeah Hayne will be good next year. but i think Wolfman is better option, maybe move Monas into centres, Hayne on wing, Lyon in 5/8.. i hate Lyon but he played damn well this year for Manly!

What's wrong with Pearce? He's young!! We need to settle with one set of halves!!

either...
MITCHELL PEARCE - JARROD MULLEN - PETER WALLACE - TERRY CAMPESE
we can't rely on the
MATT ORFORD - BRETT KIMMORLEY - BRAITH ANASTA - TRENT BARRETT's we need to rebuild a squad not keep it old...

 

[bort]

I agree on most of the side but monaghan should take jennings spot and bring hayne in. Really don't know about halves, maybe the roosters but I'd like to see campese and/or mate.

 

[brad]

jeez that team is so much more different to past years. looks really good but with all the young talent. but i dont want white back into the front row. didnt handle it last year. better off trying someone that might do a good job. and probly need 2 props on the bench

 

[Capital_Shark]

Josh Perry for White and another prop on the bench.

Mason will have a big year next year.

Queensland will still win, but taking steps to install a core group of young, key men in the NSW squad will bring a series back to Blues territory sooner rather than later.

have to have perry in there for sure

maybe if all the QLD players wore ross masks whited go better

 

[peachey]

MASON...gtfo..same goes for anasta, he is overrated and a waste of oxygen

if i see quinn,white or turner in a nsw jersey next year i will break something, my first response when bellamy re-signed as blues coach "f*ck"

[bort]

we will lose it due to poor selection and bellamy being unable to coach against melbourne players

 

[UpUpCronulla]

What about Mateo @ 5/8?? Not Lyon!!

 

[peachey]

1. Mateo isnt a 5/8
2. He has to put it in writing to RLIF that he wants to change his allegience to australia/NSW from Tonga

 

[bort]

stewart, cooper, hayne, monaghan and williams could match the QLD backs i reckon

 

[footyfortress]

Halfback spot is the spot up for grabs.

Depending on Trent Barretts form, he is a chance.

Kite and Perry, definite props. Leave White out

definately the most open position atm.
white wont get left out just like orford and watmough wont play, despite form and i wouldnt be suprised to see quinn picked either

 

[Giles/Brunt]

Did Lyon put his hand up for Rep football again thought he was giving it up.

Are there 2 Ben Pomeroy's and if so is the other one a member of this forum?

 

[SimmoShark]

They should pick lots of sharks if they want to win! I hope Simmons gets to play City Country again. But there are some other good centers so he wont get to play State Of Origon. But they should pick Luke Douglas in the dfront row.

Peachey probably hopes that simmo playes city country too!
more chance for him to get hurt haha
dougie would perform if given the chance but he wont be

I remember Mateo playing alot of the Season for parra at 5/8 and I wouldnt have him at lock if Gal is fit. He'll play for NSW.
