After the City vs. Country game (results shortly) was played, NSW coach Chris Walker-Bush named the NSW Blues' squad for Origin One. The Blues were unlucky to lose outstanding fullback, Anthony Minichiello, who played himself into a Blues' jersey before leaving the field with a badly bruised cocsyx.

Strong as ever chris ;)
Who's David Shayne?

Central Phoenix utility. He's a 7/9 utility with a 9 in goal-kick. Not that we'll need him with El Masri and Joey in there. :D

Chris

Yeah very good team it will be so hard to win a game but this year i have a feeling that we will.

no Glenn Morrison? :(

I wanted to use him, but his defence is questionable, whereas Menzies continues to play well and can defend.
