It is that time of year again and personally my favourite sporting event for the year. Its ORIGIN.

Three games in the rugby league for the worlds greatest team honour. Lets face it, both NSW and QLD could beat any other team in the world at the moment!!

Here are the teams with my two cents on the match ups. The NSW bench seems stronger to me so I am concerned about the later periods in each half. What are your thoughts on the teams?

NSW team: QLD Team:

Brett Stewart, Billy Slater *

Jarryd Hayne, * Brent Tate

Mark Gasnier, * Greg Inglis

Matt Cooper, Justin Hodges *

Anthony Quinn, Israel Folau *

Greg Bird, Karmichael Hunt (Out of position is CRAP)

Peter Wallace, Johnathan Thurston *

Brett White, * Carl Webb

Danny Buderus (c) Cameron Smith (c) *

Ben Cross, Petero Civoniceva *

Ryan Hoffman, Michael Crocker *

Willie Mason, Sam Thaiday (Would love to see the knuckle between these two)
