I think this 40 person squad is a joke. I think they are kidding themselves with some of the players they have picked, the players they have left out and the fact that they picked 40 people so many weeks out before the origin and then state that others are still in contention. Qld only pick 30 players and they haven't picked them yet either.
2009 NSW Blues Induction Day Squad
Peter Wallace - Will be halfback
Michael Ennis - Should be hooker
Josh Morris - Out injured. Not ready anyway.
Terry Campese - Will be five-eigth (I think Anasta should be in the squad somewhere though)
Joel Monaghan - Decent player - Don't think he is origin material
Alan Tongue - Legend but no chance in hell
Paul Gallen - This grub will play origin one and then be suspended for the other two. He better not be captain. Roid freak !!!
Anthony Tupou - Playing ok. Form not being helped by rubbish team.
Luke Bailey - Too old but will prolly be the other prop. (Not in the same league as Price or Civoniceva)
Anthony Laffranchi - Row or bench.
Mark Minichiello - Rubbish no chance
Brent Kite - Doesnt deserve it. Poor form.
Jamie Lyon - Doesn't want to play. Leave him out.
Josh Perry - Crap form this year.
Michael Robertson - Not a fullback. No chance.
Brett Stewart - Injured. Had the fullback spot sewn up.
Glenn Stewart - Will be in the row
Anthony Watmough - Red hot. Will be on the bench
David Williams - Good player but only played 2 games this year. Can't judge form.
Ryan Hoffman - Cry baby. Offers nothing. Kleenex.
Anthony Quinn - Hate him. Hope he isn't in the team.
Ben Cross - You are kidding. No chance.
Kurt Gidley - Captain and fullback. Solid.
James McManus - Isn't he Irish or Scottish or something. Decent but not origin material
Jarrod Mullen - Injury prone
Luke O’Donnell - Should be in there somewhere. Play him as prop or something. No brain cells.
Jarryd Hayne - Wing spot. Apply ample amount glue to hands before game.
Michael Jennings - Form centre of the comp. Has to be there.
Luke Lewis - Playing awesome but hard to fit in.
Trent Waterhouse - Same as Lewis. Good year but hard to push out O'Donnell, Watmough, Stewart and Laffranchi.
Colin Best - Rate him for the wing. Not completely convinced though.
John Sutton - Great player. Definited chance due to versatility.
Matt Cooper - Will be one centre.
Ben Creagh - Will get injured before the origin. Don't bother picking him.
Justin Poore - No chance
Michael Weyman - Should be one prop. Can fight.
Mitchell Pearce - Wallace is playing better and doesn't look like a sumo wrestler. (See his face ?)
Robbie Farah - Already discussed. Ennis better !!
Keith Galloway - Not bad for a ranga. Good form. Chance.
Chris Lawrence - Him or jennings should take out the centre spot. Or possibly on the wing.
Omissions
Anasta - Standout in a team with too many egos.
Hindmarsh - Has to better then some of these players picked. But I guess there are too many good (younger second rowers)
Ryan - Awesome form for the Dogs and a true leader. Should be in there somewhere. Prop maybe (fat enough) ?

Ryan - Awesome form for the Dogs and a true leader. Should be in there somewhere. Prop maybe (fat enough) ?
Soward - Has to be a shot now. Red hot.
Douglas - Sharks prop. Young and good. Start blooding some young props. Only way to compete for the future.
Scott- Dragons centre. Can play anywhere. Good form.
Wing - Great utility. Pretty boy but can play.
Gordan - Must be a chance for the wing spot. Can kick and doesn't drop the ball.

Very good comments George. I do like Luke Douglas as a bolter, very good young prop. If he was playing for Saints or the Dogs would have got a mention. Soward need to be red hot for another year before picking him for Origin. In fact I am happy if no saints players get picked at all. You say you hate Anthony Quinn which is fair enough, I hate Watmough the absolute GRUB.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding rundown George. First time I've read that list, and I have to say about 10 players in there I would never have picked for anything let alone NSW. Michael Robertson?? Please! Colin Best! FFS! NSW are in massive trouble
ReplyDeleteOutstanding George, I agree with most comments except that relating to John Sutton who I don't believe has the ticker to make it in Origin. There are so retards in the 40 who shouldn't even be playing Jim Beam Cup. And agreed Pawd, Watmough is possibly the biggest GRUB in any sport in the past 15 years. Isn't tough, just niggles with tactics my kids use against each other when fighting over matchbox cars. I almost hate him as much as I hate Matai.
