How can NSW win State of Origin II?

Another game, another refereeing controversy!
For the record, my opinion is that Hayne's foot didn't go into touch, which changes the entire game. Not to mention the penalty against him for taking out Folau that was also wrong, which led to another try for the Queenslanders. So assuming those decisions went the way I think they should have (and that magically everything else played out the exact same way!) the final score ends up NSW 24 QLD 16.
That aside, I think that NSW gambled in their team selection, and if they had won the game everyone would say that the gamble came off and the team would stay the same. As it stands, they lost and there will be talk of change for the line up. The truth of the matter is that some gambles came off and others didn't and win or lose, some changes are necessary.
Lyon looked disinterested (no real surprise given he said that he wasn't interested). McManus was anonymous (no real surprise either as alot of people had no idea who he was going into the match). Campese tried to score off every play, which he does, and needs to do, at the Raiders. However it's not the way Origin is played. He'll learn that as he matures as a player and I have no doubt he will be back at Origin level in the next season or two after what he learnt at Etihad Stadium, but his run this year is over.
Gidley was flat out bad. In his chance to step up to the plate and live up to all the media hype, he failed dismally. But he is a better and more experienced player than that and he still warrants a spot in the team (especially since he's the captain)
The forward pack was largely effective, and relatively error free, but outside of Creagh and Farrah, nobody really stood out. I can handle that, and I think the pack should stay the same for game II. They'll be better for it.
But the backline definitely needs fine tuning.
The backline should be as follows -
Fullback - Jarryd Hayne - He was easily the best player on the park for NSW and that's no easy feat as a left winger. His best club form has been at fullback, and Gidley struggled at the back so it makes sense.
Left Wing - Joel Monaghan - His size and quality under the high ball makes him an automatic selection to play up against Folau. Knows how to finish too.
Left Centre - Michael Jennings - Was fairly quiet last night after all the hype but was error free and showed enough for me to give him the spot for the rest of the series, he'll just keep getting better.
Right Centre - Josh Morris - He is an attacking machine and big to boot. Full of confidence after a great start to this season and seems to have learnt how to tackle. Has been a slight step off this level for about 12 months, this year it's his turn. Does have a few errors in his game, if we can get that out of him, he'll make this spot his own for a long time.
Right Wing - David Williams - He has rep experience, and to be perfectly honest, NSW aren't exactly plump with wingers, so I'll give him the nod.
Five Eighth - Kurt Gidley/Craig Wing - Whichever one you DON'T give the starting spot to, will come off the bench. There are arguments for and against having either in the starting side. Chances are Gidley would get the nod as he is the captain, but Wing could easily take that role on too. I will say this though, if Wing is on the bench, you've got to give him more game time than he saw last night, I don't care how you do it, but you have to do it.
Halfback - Peter Wallace - He's our best option, and is a much better kicker than he showed in game 1. He won't have another match like that. A bit of variety in the kicking stakes between Farrah, Gidley/Wing and Wallace will relieve some pressure and put Steve Price in 2 minds allowing an overall better kicking game.
All in all the backline has had a fairly drastic change, but in my opinion this is the core of a backline that can take us forward for the next few years.
The line up picked for game 1 was never going to be a long term solution. Really, did anyone think that McManus was going to have a sparkling Origin career? Or that Lyon would play rep footy again next year after he's met the 10 year requirements of the league to declare himself exempt? Campese still has a future, when he gets composure in his game, but he's a back up at best for next 12 months or so.
This series isn't over yet. Far from it!
