NSW ORIGIN TEAM SELECTION.

NSW once won 3 series in a row..these days that feels like decades ago..during NSW's "winning streak" as some would call it, despite losing 3 series in a row, Queensland Rugby League stood by its players..and look at the result! They have turned the tables around and come up with 3 strong, and convincing series wins and will no doubt collect their 4th historic win by the end of this series.  NSW selectors are completely contradicting themselves. In game one they chose 8 young players who had never played a game of origin before..for a first dig effort these players, in my opinion,  did incredibly well against an all star outfit to come so close to winning, especially in the middle section of the second half.  Now, the selectors are completely contradicting themselves by choosing Trent Barret over Terry Campese.  I have a few problems with this choice.  

Firstly, NSW should have stuck by its players, yes Campese had an average game...but Lockyer did not have a "fantastic" game himself and no one's dropping him..Also, if the selectors were to drop Campese then why not stick by their previous word and choose another young players...why not choose Jarred Mullen or Mitchell Pearce? Both players have played origin before and are playing very well for their respective clubs.

With all do respect for Barret, who is undeniably putting in his all for the Cronulla Sharks this year, if the selectors were looking for "experience" why not choose a player like Brett Kimmorly, yes he threw "that" pass to Bowen in golden point all those years ago but I believe that his efforts for the Bulldogs this year make him a strong contender for the position.  

NSW selectors MUST start showing their players some form of loyalty if they wish to develop their team into a winning side.  It's no wonder Greg Inglis, despite being eligable to play for NSW, chose to play for Queensland.
