The only thing going for Reynolds is he can play a bit of 9, that is it
I would have thought of Sutton, Grant, Idris, Carney, Graham and Mason before even thinking of Reynolds in any form

This bye week is even worse than waiting for Monday Night football. I hope the players are enjoying it because I'm not. :s

Good pick up Dowdz...I don't think I'd be going out on a limb here
when I say, I don't think Brentons goal setting in pre-season with Manly would encompass reading about a tug of war in regards to his elegability for SOO! It's the feel good story of 2013.

Reynolds and Sutton...... Sh%t!
Reynolds will get baited and give away stupid penalties. Sutton is the new Soward. He's only good at club football where he's used to the team structures. Neither are origin level players.
I agree with the big bopper theory. Grant, Mason or Woods.

So the NSW selectors have done it again.
Carney played well enough last year and is playing well enough this year to have held his spot or at least be next cab off the rank.
So he is now ranked at least the 4th best 5/8 going around, really?
To not even get a bench spot is a joke.
The selectors and coaches talk about "buying in" to the cause but that seems to be a one way street.
Grant, Idris and Carney all did their jobs when asked but are paying the price of others failings.
How are they expected to "buy in" if picked in the next game knowing that they've been overlooked now?
It's hard enough beating QLD as it is, they don't need our selectors helping 'em too.
MOST halfbacks and 5/8's look good behind a dominant pack which explains Sutton's and Reynolds ( last year ) form.

Front rowers are so 2012.
QLD 3-0
AND I go for the Blues!!

When I saw Reynolds I thought they meant Adam.....but Josh ??? FMD. He's got some skills, but I don't think his style of game suits Origin. I would have preferred Adam.

Couldn't disagree more. I think its more likely to be NSW 3-0.
Reason 1: The Qld backs are fantastic, no doubt about it. But their halves are incredibly out of form at the moment. Thurstons kicking game is off, and Cronk is not his clinical self. Granted they will step in the Origin arena, but NSW has the form team at the moment.
2: Forwards. NSW is going to dominate in the forwards this year. Merrin, Watmough, Hoffman, Fifita are all in cracking form and will be revved up for this one. If Lewis and Gallen can prove they are fitting fight and Tamou can step up, NSW creams the Qld forwards in form and talent.
3: Home games and passion. Despite what the Qld players and coaches say, they are expecting another win. The arrogance that exudes from that team is cancerous. We have two home games this year and I can see us comfortably winning both.
4. X factors. Both teams have them. But bringing Sutton in really gives us an edge. Ferguson is either going to be boom or bust. Haynes defence is vastly improved and Jennings is on fire for the Chooks.
5. Its our time. And we know it!
Time to get behind our boys and show some faith in Daley and the boys. Unite!

6. Ref's and Video refs...... Qld 3-0

I like you confidence and agree that home ground advantage may give NSW a chance. But I don't know where you think Sutton will play. If you bring him on for Maloney then NSW doesn't have a goal kicker. And you wouldn't play him in the backrow because NSW have a heap of them already, who are much better than Sutton.MWSE said:

History repeats itself. It will be 11- zip by 2016
a - la St George : 1955 - 65
Imagine the street parade and the winning coach in 2017 - up and down the city streets. It will be like the end of WWII

Thurston still might not play as his wife is expecting a baby?
Ha I knew that comment would fire a few up!!
To be 100% honest I don't know, it's certainly about time for a change and NSW have been ever so close the last few years.
Sutton for me does NADA, we already have a goal kicking 5/8, can't work out why they woudn't go with another forward (as QLD have).
BUT time will tell
It won't be 3-0 to Queensland, I think it could possibly go to 1 all and a decider in the 3rd....which will be a HUGE pain in the backside for me as I will be in the middle of the Canning Stock Route in Western Australia with nothing bar a Satelite Phone to get the final score...so come on NSW win games 1 and 2 and make the trip a real celebration
