It happens to the best of us, but never mind, we shall have the glory whilst they soak in there tears.
Oh btw, congratulations to the following players, who are likely to make their debut for Queensland in Game 1. Gani Shriram Travis Webber Steve Cambridge Ryan Gayler Theo Miokovic Luke Pilgrim Paddy Orr That is, of course, if they don't get suspended between now and kickoff. *glares at Gayler*
To be fair, the comp is only 3 seasons old. That, combined with the revolutionary training techniques introduced this season that have meant hard trainers get rewarded more than ever before, means that whilst the team is young, it's not incredibly so, relatively speaking. Besides, we've got a couple of 6 gamers in King, Taylor & Man, IIRC.
I have a feeling though that NSW will just pick a team all with experience. (ie just the one they picked last year, cause that is just such a NSW thing to do)
