Considering the bunch of a**holes picked to play for NSW I think I might have to join Trunks and support Queensland this year

Don't you dare jinx my team by supporting them.

Its a good backline, some some decent workers in the forwards, Gidley will be given license to roam, and Lewis is one of the best bench players to have on a team in years. But NSW will still lose, the halves are terribly weak, and Ennis is like Kimmorley, he folds in the big games.

In comparison, QLD has an even stronger and faster backline, bigger workhorses (but far older) forwards, and players in 6,7 and 9 that are at the peak of their games.

That being said, NSW should be far more competitive, they have a good goal kicker (Lyon), and backs who will (no pun intended) back themselves to score points from anywhere. Should be a very close series.

And great to see Matai facing several weeks off, the guy is like Gallen (who thankfully missed out of origin); a thug who should have been eradicated from the game years ago.

I don't think Matt Cooper should of been selected after that stunt he pulled on Country Origin. I wonder if he would of been "injured" if he had been selected to play for Australia that weekend

Agreed, but then he should be in there on form. I hope Tahu is fit, he and Idris will put some flair and fight into the backline. I hope Hayne fizzles so people will stop ranting about his "talent".

Is anyone playing NRL dream team? Cameron Smith getting injured - was the beginning of the end for me, I traded him and now with my 'new' players I have salary cap issues ..... hmmmmm..
