While it's a joke of a game, it's a lauff when a key nsw player goes down in it. Anyway, no Pearce is fair lol.
Last years game was quality but the concept of being an Origin trial has already been out the window, hardly any from the last few years games went on to play Origin.
NSW City: Wade McKinnon, Jarryd Hayne, Michael Jennings, Chris Lawrence, David Williams, John Sutton, Peter Wallace, Keith Galloway, Robbie Farah, Luke Stuart, Trent Waterhouse, Mark Minichiello, Luke O'Donnell. Interchange: Craig Wing, Shane Shackleton, Adam Cuthbertson, Ryan Hoffman
I think there's only about 20 people (me included) who give a stuff about it as an actual rep game. I'm actually not sure if I'd prefer to see Australia or Country win.

Now that's horse shit, I was hoping they would have Pearce come off the bench and play some hooker like Wallace did last season. I really want to see this happen, it'll work a gem IMO.
Nice Wadeo made it. Don't understand how John Morris didnt make Country though, he deserved to be on the bench instead of Hornby.
I'm probably along the same lines, but I can't really bring myself to accept that Test football is that meaningless.
