State of Origin: NSW and Queensland stronger in 2012

Behold, If precedence is anything to go by it doesn't worry the QLD'ers if they pick ineligable players....How the Capt of PNG played for QLD I'll never know or Tonie Carroll after playing for NZ...or Picking Langer from the UK YES it is sour grapes.

State of Origin: NSW and Queensland stronger in 2012

Watmough wouldn't make my team because he's to prone to stupid penalties which give QLD repeat sets. NSW regularly lose the go forward battle, I forgot to include Ben Hannant and David Shillington in that group above. They have 4 props who are better than NSW's #1 and that's where they in my opinion lose the game. Gallen is the best NSW prop but by playing him there NSW weaken a strength to strengthen a weakness which I think is counter productive. Petero, Matt Scott, Matt Gillett, Ben Hannant, Josh Macguire and Dave Shillington are all better than our #1 specialist prop. I'd say that's either Learoyd-Lahs, Mannah or Weyman but either way....NSW are way behind. The backrow of QLD just have to tackle and they do that so efficiently that it sets the game up giving QLD field position to start their sets, roll on and give Inglis and Slater all the room they need to set up the play. With Gillett and possibly Taylor in the back row I think that probably beats Lewis and Stewart.
