State of Origin 2012 Selection?

Question

* I want your interpretation of the most likely selected players for both states, taking into consideration form, injury, return from injury, combinations, suspension, versatility & cohesion as squad. My selections are based on Queenslands precedent of keeping the core group & despite being born bred Queenslander, I would really like to see New South Wales consolidate a genuine threat this year with raw aggression.

QLD:

1. Billy Slater 2. Darius Boyd 3. Justin Hodges 4. Greg Inglis 5. Chris McQueen 6. Jonathan Thurston 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Matthew Scott 9. Cameron Smith 10. Petro Civenoceva 11. Nate Myles 12. Sam Thaiday 13. Ashley Harrison 14. Matt Gillett 15. Ben Hannant 16. David Taylor 17. David Shillington  

(Not sure on Jacob Lillyman- but deserves a run pending form, Cherry Evans/Barba too early as Gillett adds variety across the park in the event of injury replacement during games, Yow Yeh/Parker out, Martin Kennedy awaiting, Chris McQueen on the wing coz he's tough, fast, unit & combines with Dave Taylor n Inglis

NSW:

1. Brett Stewart 2. Akuila Uate 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Josh Morris 5. Brett Morris 6. James Maloney 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. Paul Gallen 9. Danny Buderus 10. Michael Weyman 11. Anthony Watmough 12. Luke Lewis 13. Greg Bird 14. Ryan Hinchcliffe 15. Aiden Tolman 16. Feleti Mateo 17. Kade Snowden   

(Not sure if Tariq Sims returns on time, T-Rex out, Glen Stewart injured, Soward defense concerns, Carney doesn't deserve it over Maloney consistent, Kurt Gidley niggle injury, Tigers lack of form may hurt Chris Lawrence, Ennis/Farah cant match Cam Smith, only Buderus can trump... Hayne/Dugan injury concerns.

Go along with your side for the banana benders but they would flog that NSW side. Stewart's form would not warrant selection, neither would Lyon's. Onform I would have Coote or Gardner at fullback. Maybe Scott or Jennings in place of Lyon. Gallen is a back row forward, they do need size up front. Mannah, Snowden or Douglas with Gallen shifting to second row. Lewis to lock and Bird on the bench. Watmough needs to start showing his true form or he too will be gone.  Picking Buderis would be a backward step. He may be playing well but so is Anasta and Minicello but they won't be picked.
