State of Origin - Bulldogs Edition

[shannon2009]

we’ve had some terrific forwards when Jackson, finucane can’t make the team.
trex
Sharon woods are not even close to those mentioned

Great thread FZ, and great teams..
That NSW backline would have speed to burn..I’d like to see Dallas and JAC in a foot race..sheesh..And Blues forward tough as nails.. I think NSW by 10..be a great game!

JAC vs Dallas would be a matchup for the ages. Centres cancel each other out. Mortimer vs Thurston would be incredible.

Makes ya cry when you see those names and OMG the quality....and reminisce that they actually played for our team and what we had representing the club.

I guess in a way it's what keeps us hanging in there...to strive to once again have players and a team of that quality once again.

interesting thread mate.
I lean towards nsw squad due to most combinations having played more games together when at the club's peaks.
Another question would be how many combined appearances for the bulldogs does your nsw team have over Queensland's
I would imagine it would be significant.

04. Josh Morris
05. Brett Morris
06. Terry Lamb
07. Steve Mortimer (c)
08. Peter Tunks
09. Michael Ennis
10. David Gillespie
11. Dean Pay
12. Steve Folkes
13. Jim Dymock

14. Braith Anasta
15. Willie Mason
16. David Klemmer
17. Mark O'Meley

NSW comfortably because of Turvey and Baa. Brentnall as FB easily over Mbye. Turvey would kill it under the 6 again and 10m rule. The opposition couldn't handle him under the 5m rule let alone 10m.

Why is there no Chris Mortimer!!

 

[Freakzilla]

Why is there no Chris Mortimer!!

Because it's either him or Farrar and I went Farrar.

 

[Number18]

Because it's either him or Farrar and I went Farrar.

Tough choice, then I would've dropped anasta

 

[Freakzilla]

Tough choice, then I would've dropped anasta

Anasta more versatile and covers more positions. Would be more valuable on the bench to cover the spine.

 

[Number18]

All players mentioned came from winning teams and eras, no surprise no reprentatives for either state for the past 3 or 4 series.

Great thread Freakzilla - thanks.

I like the teams you have assembled.

I would make only 1 minor change on the NSW bench and include Peter Kelly who played origin in 1989. He was tough as nails and pretty crazy. Other players feared him.

I'd put Kelly there instead of Klemmer who is quite simply a pussy-whipped pussy.

They would destroy any defense if you put them on after 20-30 minutes.
