Gallen had a stinker if NSW cannot find someone better than him then they really have a problem - a very average player who simply tackles around the head a lot.

so disappointed for the blues last night

jarred hayne was simply brilliant as was anthony watmough

haynsey has to be full back, i dont care what they do to gidley

the wolfman was awful. all those dropped balls and then when the game is close and a try is on he kicks on an early tackle

jamie lyon was a waste of space as well.

well done blues.

drop farah and give ennis a chance

Will Bellyache be the NSW coach for next years series and if not who will???
I think he'll step down after game III, they'll get beat in Brisbane and he will have won 1 game from 6. The selectors want sacking aswell but the coach must have a say in what team he wants and i know they've had injuries but what is going on with the team, select a team and stick with it thats the only way they'll win.

I think he's a bit better than average to make the starting 13 for the Aussies every game. Yes he had a stinker but so did most of the NSW team.

enjoyed my first origin!, NSW are lucky they have Hayne because they have nothing else! Queensland were there for the taking IMO, but NSW had no direction at all, they or should i say we, (I can say that now!!

) need some decent halfbacks in the near future or the Queensland dominance will continue for a while IMO!

And for all us English are a lot worse at the actual game of Rugby League, we do win at one thing, atmosphere, I have had more atmosphere at SL games with 5,000 there, there was over 80,000 last night and it felt like 8,000, allthough I willput that down to a poor NSW performance, the only time it seemed alive was when the biff was on!

I will say ANZ is a fantastic stadium with the best onsite facilities of any stadium Ive been to, and despite the quiet nature of the crowd I had a blast!

english fans do make more noise but telstra stadium isnt the best for atmos. that was actually a pretty good atmos, you should be there when there is under 10,000 there, its a grave yard.

nsw have jarred mullen or jamie soward who are both better than wallace.

when the crowd starting doing the wave i thought it was such a big w**k.

i started shouting, you aint at the cricket.

the selectors should be sacked

around 2000 when queensland got belted they had a cleenout, so should nsw.

phil gould has been very critical of selections including leaving out matty cooper and picking mitchell pearce last year at half.

gus should be a selector.

inglis has a suspected fractured jaw so barrett should cop a heavy penalty

Agreed I hate the mexican wave, and it was actually at a point where NSW were getting on top so there was a lot to see on the pitch rather than p!ssing about with a silly wave.

NSW were their own worst enemies that game, really should of won. Joel Monaghan and Peter Wallace shouldn't be anywhere near Origin jersey's IMO
Would of liked to of seen Barrett and Kimmorley leading the blues round the park in game 2.

Gidley
Williams (deserves one more go IMO)
Morris
Jennings
Hayne
Campese/Soward (probably Soward)
Mullen
Weyman
Farah
Kite
O'Donnell
Creagh
Gallen

Wing
Poore
Bailey (if fit, if not TLL)
Watmough

That would be the team I would put out for Game 3 looking towards next years series

go the blues

. gus gould as coach. we need kimmorley

tiger

barret got 2 weeks

www.leaguehq.com.au/news/origin/ ... 97097.html Blues to consider hornby, soward and other dragons players. ill say f**k off nsw, why derail our premiership for a dead game. leave soward for next year. if gould says no to coaching, then cartwright has been mentioned, as has bennett.

Williams was an utter train wreck. If he is not dropped after that then I despair.

kimmorley

www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html Kimmorley and Ennis are favourite's to replace Wallace and Farah in Oriigin III, Barrett also likely to miss out so it's between Mullen and Lyon. How can Lyon stay in the team he's cr@p, if they do pick Lyon at 6 then i'd pick Orford at 7 but i hope they go with Mullen, Noddy and Ennis although what about Soward (one of the best players in the NRL) and Campese is that it for him after 1 fairly quiet game, it's not as if he was bad was it and it was he's debut. If they look to the future then it should be Campo or Soward at 6 with Mullen 7. Wing is back aswell which is good.

Weyman is injured

Thank goodness....talk about a sh*t player!

this from a penrith fan

This should improve NSW chances - how does he get to play origin?

in form front row

Weyman was ok. A bit disappointing for my expectations, but I still don't think we've got any better. I'm hearing Douglas' name being thrown around a lot now, but i'm far from convinced. I'm willing to do a "try and see" with just about anyone. Same bracket as Perry, Galloway and even Tilse. I'm talking about an out and out prop. I actually believe and hope Learoyd-Lahrs is Weyman's replacement.

I think it will be TLL, he's been playing better than the likes of Perry, White, Douglas. Houston from the Knights has also been mentioned but Queensland will have Petro and Hannant missing which will be a bonus, Matt Scott and Dave Shillington will come in for them IMO. Or maybe Dave Taylor, he's a monster.

Here's my team for Origin III
1. Kurt Gidley(c)
2. Jarryd Hayne
3. Michael Jennings
4. Josh Morris (although it will probably be overated Jamie Lyon)
5. Brett Morris
6. Jarrod Mullen (maybe Lyon)
7. Brett Kimmorley
8. Justin Poore
9. Mick Ennis
10. Brent Kite
11. Anthony Watmough (O'Donnell is injured)
12. Ben Creagh
13. Paul Gallen
14. Craig Wing
15. Glenn Stewart
16. Tom Learoyd Lahrs
17. Houston/White/Douglas
