Opinion Would the present day New South Wales state team beat South Australia or Western Australia?

[CrowFan77]

South Australia

B: Burton, Petty, Jonas
HB: Smith, Cox, Daniel
C: Bailey, Neale, Dawson
HF: Rankine, Fogarty, Hayward
F: Stengle, Thilthorpe, Pickett
R: Grundy, Rozee, Laird
I: Hurn, Ladhams, Wingard, Lukosius
E: Lycett, Graham, Sparrow, Day

Probably missed someone obvious...

Phil Davis

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Phil Davis

Doesn't qualify for SA & wouldn't have him on current form ahead of Petty & Cox.

Yeah, he does. He was born in Canberra but grew up in SA. His Dad (Merv) was GM at the company I work for.

Pretty sure he is tied to the Allies.

Pretty sure he is tied to the Allies.

Almost everybody is, since the VFL doesn't let any states other than Victoria play state of origin anymore.

Redman would be ahead of Smith on this year's form. Draper also ahead of Ladhams. No room for Brad Close? I'd have him in the emergencies ahead of Day.

Didn’t realise Redman was from SA... but forgot about Draper.

Could argue Draper straight in for an injured Grundy.

Could make a case for Redman over Hurn.. particularly as I was aiming for a younger team.

Close I considered but had many similar types ahead of him.
