While admittedly I haven't watched many Manly games this season, I haven't seen anything from Buhrer that suggests he should play Origin.

And still don't understand this fascination with Creagh.

I stopped biting my tongue off a few years ago AB.

Selectors are stupid. That is all.

That said, I think they've finally put together a 1/6/7/9 that can compete with what Qld have. There's a lot of points in those four, they're all in form and in their prime. The front rowers need to do a job and get them some quality ball. If they do... you never know.

I swear Ricky just picked a team based of Supercoach players and not actual origin players FFS.

5-8 look good. So does 11-13 the rest is ****house

I can't believe this team. Another series to QLD. Bird shouldn't get automatic selection because he was the best forward in 08. Creagh isn't worthy of origin anymore.
Farrah is overated, he will try and play 6,7, and 9 all by himself, and sook about it after they lose. I'm just hoping like all **** Todd and Gal don't get injured.

I honestly thought, 'oh this has to be the year that NSW take back dominance', not anymore.

last year there was an element of excitement to the team, players playing out of position, new combinations, Hayne at 4, Gallen at 8, etc, it was like they were truly building something, making a statement toward the future, now that seems to be completely gone.

Time will tell. I don't think we will be as bad as some of you think. Our halves are genuine origin players and that will prove to be the difference for NSW. If Gal and our pack get us going our halves will do the rest. Farah just has to pass out of dummy half. Sticky will make sure of that. We need points, lots of them. We have to attack to beat the best ever origin team.

I am not even going to bother this year my club team is going so well I am happy with that, don't need anything else.

Good luck to the boys,

The run on side is near perfect. The bench is near the worst possible they could have picked.

agree, the bench is terrible, that will make it near impossible to win w/ that bench, I bet there is 4.5 million Qldr's that are doing backflips w/ the selection of Ben Creagh.

Run on side top notch. T.Williams and T.Merrin on the bench is solid, but wtf @ fkn creagh again and especially that pussy Buhrer, how on earth did he get picked, he is the softest **** in the world. Watmough and Hinchcliffe over buhrer and creagh and I would feel much more confident.

wow I fear for the 25-60 minute mark when this bench gets thrown into the game, it will be when QLD smashes us up.
So NSW are taking 2 props into the game? gal to play 80 minutes up front with Merrin to sub in for tamou.
