Does it seem like more aboriginal players play for qld rather that nsw?

Question

is it just me or what cause i seem to notice qld picks more aborigonal players for origin than what nsw does

bowen,ty williams

hodges,inglis,thaiday,etc,and for nsw ????

mundine 1 game,blacklock not as many as he should of with that blistering pace he had, any others ?? how bout preston campbell ?please let me know

Answer 1

Yeah,I would probably agree with you,but things aren't always that black and white.when you think about,there was a heck of alot more,not necessary talented but experienced players around when blacklock and mundine played(i mean,in their positions that is:winger/centre/5-8th).Preston Campbell is awesome though,that I don't understand!As a fullback,I wouldn't put him(preston) there,for the same reason,matty boy bowen seems to lose out to Hunt and Slater,apparently,they're too small!But both sides need to make room for both players in their respective sides.Sorry it's long!!

Answer 2

theres just more aboriginal talent in QLD atm.

Answer 3

who cares if they can play the game,hey gives them something else to do.......

Answer 4

John "Chicka" Ferguson, Jared Hayne, Timana Tahu, David Peachy, Ricky Walford... just a few great players to wear the Sky Blue of NSW.

Recently Qld seem to pick more.. but its a matter of talent.. not color of skin, that gets people selected. This is fact, unless you are Anthony Mundine... who thinks it is a race thing. Fact is... Mundine, Blacklock and Campbell all had weaknesses in their game... generally defending, which made them not suited for S.O.G.

There is favourtism when it comes to selectors.. but that is more about the colours of your jersey and what you've done before.

Answer 5

There are many. It is a ploy by the team selectors to put the other teams off. Who whats to be saying SORRY each time you tackle one of those wackers?

Answer 6

Yeah your right. When you look at the teams from last year only Jayrd Hayne was in NSW and he's the only one i can think of now Tahu is in Union. In Queensland you got, Thurston, Prince, Thaiday, Hodges, Matty Bowen, Inglis re all eligible for QLD and have plyed where i nNSW guys like preston campbell get left out

Answer 7

i dont think it has anything to do with the players race... its the players talent and ability to stand out from all the others with the same position... i get what ur saying but i dont think its intentional..
