    Big no to Dugan. Most overrated guy in the game and only got picked by Ricky due to his Raiders connections.

    I think we need stability in the halves and as much as i don't like Soward i think we should give him and Pearce another crack.

    The Toads will be without Lockyer and they have shown many times that they are not as good without him so with this team i see next years SOO an easy 3 nil series win to NSW.

    1.dugan 2.uate 3.Jennings 4.Lawrence 5.b Morris 6.soward 7.Pearce 8.tolman 9.ennis 10.Gallen 11.Watmough 12.Scott 13.g Stewart 14.t Williams 15.Lewis 16.gidley/farah 17.bird 18.James Maloney as cover for halves.(im keeping soward there because nsw have chopped and changed too much. Consistency is the key.) 19.buderus as cover for hooker/bench spot. 20. Matt king as cover for outside backs

    Source(s): There are many players that deserve a go. Merritt, Mateo, Tariq sims, snowden, Douglas, Galloway,Josh Morris, hayne(a fullback not wing. As is always out of position.maybe center might be better option.) So many that deserve a chance but the depth of talent is so huge. Actually I'd pick Mateo over bird as Mateo is more versatile and dangerous because of his offloads rather than birds hard agressive running.

    Jamie lyon has retired. Gorden from p'riff will play. Why sack your young halves that won NSW their first origin in over a year in G2? Halves need time to develop. Wouldn't write off Dallas Johnson stealing Harrisons spot. As a Qlder I hope that team is accurate. It will be 7-0 by next year yewwwww... when will the domination end.

    dam that NSW team doesnt look too bad, doubt feleti and tariq will get into the starting side or even make the team but both these teams look spot on, you no your rugby league, i hate it when people post ludacris teams with half **** players who wudnt even make the bench.
