NSW State of Origin Team
NSW team: Ben Hornby, Anthony Minichiello, Mark Gasnier, Matt Gidley, Luke Lewis, Shaun Timmins, Craig Gower, Mark O'Meley, Danny Buderus (capt), Ryan O'Hara, Andrew Ryan, Nathan Hindmarsh, Craig Fitzgibbon.
Interchange: Craig Wing, Trent Waterhouse, Willie Mason, Brent Kite.
(Kurt Gidley 18th man)
to me a pretty weak team especially in the halves and at fullback. combination should have been Kimmorley/Hill.
nothing against Gower but he just doesn't seem to be as good as Noddy. also timmins has absolutely no playmaking skills at all. they'll stuggle to create chances.
horby's a bolter and an unknown quantity but i would have stuck with Minichello, to me the best fullback around, unless Lockyer reverts back to the position.
what are your opinions??????
