Your Origin Side After 2 Rounds

[icewind]

you leave out Paul Gallen because im assuming of his catness, yet you include Ennis, who is quickly becoming his tutor?
(which i hate to say as a broncos fan)

[CliffyIsGod]

Stewart will be fullback over Gidley. He is more likely to be the bench utility.

 

[icewind]

i don't know about that. i mean that's most likely whats going to happen, but I don't think it would be an altogether bad thing to have kidley at the back, chiming in as a playmaker like he does, particularly with the state of nsw halves.

1. Kidley
6. Anasta
7. someone
13.Bird

would have to be nsw best chance imo, with a four forward bench.

Take your eyes away for the underwear section of your target catalogue and grab Big League for a sec and you will see B Tate plays in the centres for his club.

Folou hasn't even played a season and a half of first grade and you want him to start over form/experienced players...what a joke, they'll have to call for the stretcher soon as gasnier runs at him.

I know Patten is out of position, but who would you prefer... grothe? rooney?. if you can play fullback, you can play wing.

Orford is average, no sh1t, but at least he can catch and pass and has a bit of experience. remember what happened when Finch was young and thrown in, Mullen also.

Even if I was wrong, which I'm not, its a matter of opinion, so give it a rest a$$wind.

All this from someone who would rather Kidley at fullback then B Stewart, Glug glug glug

 

[tigr3]

I think heighnington should be a smokey for the blues... look at these stats

Tackle breaks - 29 - 11th in the NRL - 1st Second Rower
All Run Metres - 748 - 11th in the NRL - 4th Second Rower
All Runs - 103 - 2nd in the NRL - 1st Second Rower
170 tackles 25th in the NRL (1st is only 226)
Hit Ups - 68 - 5th in the NRL - 3rd Second Rower
1 error for the season - NRL average is 3
2 line breaks - NRL average is 1
2 penalties against - NRL average is 1
Only 7 innefective tackles all season.
1 on 1 tackles - 19 - 5th in the NRL - 3rd Second Rower
Minutes Played
Rnd 1 78
Rnd 2 59
Rnd 3 72
Rnd 4 80
Rnd 5 80
Rnd 6 80

Not to mention he can find the tryline and generally comes up with a big play when needed.

Laffranchi is better at the moment and im sure Hindmarsh will get in wether he deserves it or not

same with a few of the other guys who made it last year

that is the way they have to go for mine too. gidley is playing excellent football from fullback... but as he showed against the roosters... he drops back to "average first grader with lots of enthusiasm" when he is put out of his natural role. his kicking game is also dreadful. i honestly believe that with gidleys form and talent - he would have to be right up there with stewart in regards to the #1 jersey. then you look at what NSW need in terms of skills in different areas.. and it only strengthens his claims for the fullback jersey.

 

[Bman26]

would it be completely ridiculous to suggest Steve Turner or Anthony Quinn as a winger for NSW?

Finch wasn't young. Not only that, but he was thrown in with 1 day preparation and had a blinder and kicked the winning field goal. :lol:

He was young as....and he played crap. He did one good kick all game and that was that field goal.

 

[Ghoulies]

Brent Tate is a right center. Justin Hodges is a right center.

Both suck the big one when it comes to playing on the other side of the field; selectors would be aware of this. Who do you think they'll choose out of Hodges and Tate to play right center?

 

[nzwarriors60]

I would rather chose Hodges with Tate outside him

well for 400k youre not gonna play him on the wing are you? He may play at centre, but he's not a centres left testicle. A winger, yes. Centre, no thanks.

Folou hasn't even played a season and a half of first grade and you want him to start over form/experienced players...what a joke, they'll have to call for the stretcher soon as gasnier runs at him.

i agree. Gasnier is quite injury prone.

I know Patten is out of position, but who would you prefer... grothe? rooney?. if you can play fullback, you can play wing.

lol. while some players are pretty good at adapting to wing, they do require different skills, positioning and so forth, communicating with ur centre in defence.

and if we are going for f/backs, then surely stewart on the wing, kidley at the back would be far better than Patten on the wing.

Orford is average, no sh1t, but at least he can catch and pass and has a bit of experience. remember what happened when Finch was young and thrown in, Mullen also.

Even if I was wrong, which I'm not, its a matter of opinion, so give it a rest a$$wind.

catch and pass? standards really have dropped havn't they. experience? he has absolutely no origin/international rep experience at all!

Asswind thats a good one.

-RE Orford- He has 1001 times more experience then that teeny bopper
-RE Tate- The Warriors are a professional football club, your are a joke...I think they would know more then you where he should play.
-RE Patten- Stewart is to good for the wing, Patten is better out of position then the dribs and drabs hugging the sideline in the NRL atm.
-Folau- I obviously meant he will sh*t himself and be too scared to walk off the field. I have AVO's older then he is. Origin is the pinicle of aussie sport, if you put kids to young in to it they'll be scarred for life and ruin the spectacle.

 

[icewind]

re orford: experienced is he? how many premierships has he won? how many origin campaigns has he been part of? how many test matches has he played?


re stewart on the wing: Ricky Stuart didn't seem to think Stewart was too good for the wing in the test at the end of last year. also, inglis is too good for the wing. yet he still seems to be stuck on it for qld/aus.


re tate: you've never questioned the decision making of a football club??

re folau: so guys like Langer, Ikin, Hunt etc. scarred origin? how?

You might be right about Folau, he did ok in the GF, I think it would be better to leave him another year but im not passionate enough to argue about it.

Of course ive question a FC. But a FC over an internet hero wins hands down.

Experience means total games of football and the quality of those games. Orford has played more then finch, plus has played in more finals.

Stewart is too good to be moved when Kidley could play in other positions. It would be like pushing johns to hooker to fit in Craig Field.

Just drop it, uve embarrassed yourself enough
