NSW RESIDENTS; Magpies star

I was at Suncorp Stadium last night for the State of Origin massacre and saw the NSW Residents v Queensland Residents curtain raiser. A hard fought game saw NSW Residents chalk up a 24-16 victory.

The 2 Magpies selected in the NSW Residents team were very impressive. Centre Beau Ryan (whom the ground announcer and scoreboard listed as Beau Scott) made numerous breaks and hooker Stuart Flanagan was his usual scheming self.

I reckon another Magpie - Shannon Gallant, should have played last night. No disrespect to Shaun Foley, the Newtown fullback selected. However, Foley has been injured most of the season and was picked after just one game back. Selection should be on consistent displays, not reputation.

Interesting news.

Who else were the standouts?

NSW captain & second rower Todd Lowrie (Wenty/Parra), five-eighth Ben Rogers (Norths/Souths), centre Brett Anderson (Central Coast/Melbourne), interchange forward Ryan Tandy (BRET) & interchange utility Charlie Herokotukutuku (Norths) played strongly.

Whilst I bagged his selection, I have to be honest and say Shaun Foley played very well.
