WE are not "experts". Neither, we assume, are you. For this, we should all be very grateful.

For eight years, so-called expert selectors have picked some of the worst so-called NSW teams imaginable.

They've probably got it wrong again. We thought we'd encourage you to have your say.

Below are the preferred NSW teams of news.com.au's three sports writers.

We don't pretend to have it 100 per cent right, and there's no doubt we've thrown a couple of our respective club favourites in.

But we reckon we're doing better than the lunatics who've picked Mitchell Pearce in six different series.

Have your say below and name your NSW team. We promise to upload as many of your comments as possible.

We'll even compile a readers' team based on your suggestions, so keep them rolling in.

ANTHONY "BLOCKER" SHARWOOD'S TEAM

1. Jarryd Hayne. NSW needs him to be involved. Must not be wasted on the wing.

2. Daniel Tupou. Young Rooster in scintillating form

3. Josh Morris. All class. picks himself.

4. Chris Lawrence. Finally uninjured, having best season since played for Australia in 2011.

5. Brett Morris. All class. Picks himself. Just like his twin brother.

6. Josh Reynolds. The Bulldogs aren't on top by accident. He's no Thurston, but who is?

7. Jarrod Mullen. Picked in 2007 when too raw. Kicks well, solid percentage player.

8. Aaron Woods. The entertaining Tigers finally have muscle. He's much of the reason why.

9. Robbie Farah. NSW's best playmaker, kicker and top tackler for two years now. Priceless.

10. James Tamou. Would you want to tackle him? Or be tackled by him? Enough said.

11. Anthony Watmough. The kind of warhorse Qld pick every year hut NSW discard too early.

12. Tariq Sims. Fast, mobile, and a big reason Nth Qld are finally winning games.

13 Paul Gallen (c). The toughest man in footy.

BENCH

14. John Sutton. Senior player at club level who deserves a go and can play lots of roles.

15. Luke Lewis. If the Sharks had 13 of him, they'd go unbeaten all year.

16. Jamal Idris. Strike weapon. Deserves second chance after one go at this level in 2010.

17. Ryan Hoffman. No-nonsense Origin player who does everything right.

SAM "CRUSHER" CLENCH'S TEAM

1. Jarryd Hayne. Hasn't been this dominant since 2009. More consistent than Dugan.

2. Brett Morris. Normally a left winger, but talented enough to play on the right.

3. Michael Jennings. You can't go past Jetboots. Attacking genius, powerful defender.

4. Josh Morris. Has defended well against Inglis in recent series. No brainer.

5. Daniel Tupou. Breaks the line, brilliant in the air, great combo with Jennings.

6. Josh Reynolds. Maloney's form is down, Carney keeps breaking down.

7. Adam Reynolds. Could struggle without Souths' monstrous pack but talented and kicks goals.

8. James Tamou. BIG bopper has given himself an Origin period booze ban.

9. Robbie Farah. More creative than Ennis and far less annoying.

10. Aaron Woods. Boasts form and incumbency. One of the competition's best props.

11. Anthony Watmough. A key player in the NRL's most consistently excellent team.

12. Tariq Sims. Born to play Origin. He's aggression personified. Unleash him.

13. Paul Gallen. Duh.

BENCH

14. Josh Dugan. You need at least one "game-changer" on the bench. Has genuine spark.

15. Ryan Hoffman. Throw him on and watch him rack up a thousand tackles.

16. Luke Lewis. Versatile, classy and utterly dependable.

17. Jamal Idris. Fast, mobile and monstrous. Great hair. Play him as a replacement forward.

CAM "THE BRICK WITH EYEWEAR" TOMARCHIO'S TEAM

1. Jarryd Hayne. The Blues' best should to play in his best position.

2. Brett Morris. One of the best finishers in rugby league. There is no other option.

3. Josh Morris. A long-time performer at this level. Strong combination with his brother.

4. Michael Jennings. Can make something out of nothing. If fit, he's there.

5. Daniel Tupou. The biggest aerial threat since Israel Folau. Has a knack for the spectacular.

6. Josh Reynolds. One word: "mongrel". A born Origin player. No bigger competitor.

7. Adam Reynolds. Bit of a risk, but could be a long-term option. Can also kick goals.

8. Aaron Woods. Metre-eater with an enormous engine and a workhorse in defence.

9. Robbie Farah. Obviously.

10. James Tamou. Not sold on him, but no one doing enough to force him out.

11. Anthony Watmough. Love gritty players like Choc.

12. Trent Merrin. Greg Bird is a huge loss but this man can aim up.

13. Paul Gallen. Has to be there.

BENCH

14. John Sutton. Great utility value. Can slot into the halves, centres and back row.

15. Aidan Tolman. Let's stop picking fashionable forwards, and go with reliability.

16. Luke Lewis. Versatile, quality.

17. Shaun Fensom. He's earned it.
