1990 was our first proper 'slide' year after finshing 4,4,7,7 the previous four years, we still had a bit of talent on paper, but it really depends on who played for NSW under that rule (which I have no idea of). The rule also allowed anyone who played for the Swans previously also.
Fantastic work by Matt Burgan, that has got to have taken a fair bit of studying.
That NSW team obviously isn't the strongest of them all, but it is certainly a good one that could never be underestimated.
You hear me Mexico?
I believe the four Daniher brothers all played for NSW in 1990 - before they even played together for Essendon later that year.
Horse of course was the star with eight goals.

YOU BETCHA!!!!!!
Origin always fails because it's real nothing game played for no real reason. If the AFL were smart, it would play it as part of the finals series (or at least in part)....
They need to play it in a round robin format. Ideally split round and the end of the finals series. Say prelim final weekend.
Split weekend
Game 1
Team 1 Vs team 3
Game 2
Team 2 Vs Team 4
Finals series
Winner G1 Vs Winner G2 to determine overall winner
That way you could have an additional two games over the split weekend - More money/revenue. Same for prelim final weekend. Three games instead of two.
Yes there will be teams that may be playing that make their players ineligible, but they do that anyway. Better to have 12 teams to select from than none!
As for teams
Vic
SA
WA
Allies... Nsw, Qld, ACT, NT
For the last time. No @@@@ing Allies.
If they want true Origin, it doesn't involve a hotch potch team that means nothing. I don't care if we get well beaten, as long as we're beaten wearing a jumper that means something.
I'd nearly have to start supporting Victoria if they bring back the Allies.
GO THE SKY BLUES - nothing else.

Puhlease......
Look, It's not a bad team, on paper. But let's be honest. 33 players to chose form??
Of the starting 22 they include;
Mathews
LRT
J McVeigh
R Hall
And Bevan as an emergency.
If you hang around here long enough, some would suggest that this lot shouldn't even be playing for Sydney let alone representing NSW!
I'm not saying they would win, but they wouldn't be disgraced either. If only we could include ACT and snag B2 as well
