Orford
Kite
Farah
Bailey
Mason
Laffranchi
Gallen

White
Tupou
Watmough
Gidley

Pretty strong looking side. Dunno if it could match Queensland though.

To those that think Sutton has had one good game, you forget his excellent form in the City Country match last year only to be overlooked (as so many others were because big names were rested and then played like pansies) .

And the guy has been gradually improving for the last 3 years, culminating in a spot in that City Country match. That 'one good performance' has been brewing for a while and I think there will be many others to come.

For me this is the NSW options, if available.

Fullbacks: Stewart, Gidley, Minichiello, Coote.
Wingers: El Masri, Quinn, Hayne, Merrett, Robertson
Centres: Cooper, Monaghan, Jennings, Delaney, Lawrence
5 Eighths: Sutton, Barratt, Mateo, Gidley, Wing, Anasta
Halfbacks: Orford, Wallace, Pearce, Hornby, Mullen
Locks or 2nd Rowers (and this is where we have too many options): O'Donnell, Tupou, Grub Gallen, Watmough, G Stewart, Fitzgibbon, Mason, Tongue, Laurie, Heighington, Ryan, Laffranchi, M Minichiello, Creagh, Hoffman, Hindmarsh, Simpson.
Hookers: Ennis, Farah.
Props: Bailey, Kite, White, Cuthbertson, O'Meley, Gibbs, Galloway.

Isn't Campese a NSW lad?

I can only see the players in bold to be in the running to play for NSW this year. And isn't O'Donnell Queensland ?

Barrett has played well in the first 2 games for Cronulla so I can see him being there or there abouts

If Campese is eligible for NSW he should get the jumper IMO
Awesome player
