[QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2423083, member: 7803"] Let's discuss this theory that QLD show loyalty to every player and stick by them no matter what. Since Origin kicked off in 1980 QLD have used 172 players to the Blues 241. A difference of 69. This represents the larger pool of players NSW has as players are selected on their form around Origin time. This makes it unsurprising for NSW teams to change considerably over a period of time. The smaller group of players QLD Have means that the selectors have to stay loyal to the team as much as possible. From the night NSW beat QLD 32-10 to take out a 3rd straight series win, Billy Slater, Jonathen Thurston, Cameron Smith, Petro and Corey Parker remain. QLD showed loyalty and stuck by these players and they repaid the faith with 6 series wins on the trot. Credit is due well done QLD. But where was the loyalty shown to Clinton Schifcofske, Brad Meyers, Carl Webb, Josh Hannay, Rhys Wesser, Bruce Astill, Matt Bowen Josh Hannay, Paul Bowman, David Stagg and many more. They were dropped from the team because there were better mentor the Job and it's showed as QLD have entered a period of dominance. Both sides have shown loyalty to players, NSW in the 90's and the early and mid 2000's. 1996 as the biggest example. QLD have shown loyalty in the 80's and now as prime examples. Origin loyalty needs to be earned and the history of both sides show us that. L [/QUOTE]
