Barrett and Kimmorley have the runs on the board, simple as that. They have had solid rep careers and are hugely experienced. I could rely on them to at the very least play their role in organising the team from halfback as and be comfortable under pressure they have proven themselves at rep level before and that's good enough for me. I cannot say the same for Orford, though. His club form is probably as good as any NSW halfback but IMO he has simply not showed anything to suggest that he can handle Origin.

Thats the spine from god right there. That was also the spine for the 94 kangaroo tour. And to make it even more formidable add 13. Brad Clyde.
That argument is relevent 5 years ago.
Funny how winning Dally M POTY and a premiership in 4 weeks isn't good enough for Origin.
Nope, it's a great achievement to win those awards but IMO none of his performances, even the awards don't dispell the perception that he cracks under pressure, simply because he hasn't been placed under said pressure in winning them. It proves he is a good club player, which we already knew.
Pfft.
1) Taylor
6) Kenny
7) Sterling
9) Edge
with Price at 13 feeding Cronin, Ella and Grothe.
And that is different from the rest of the NSW squad -how?
Wouldn't mind seeing some of the other classics, or a franchise's best players into a 1,6,7,9 combo.
Here's a good one:
1. Darren LOCKYER
6. Wally LEWIS
7. Allan LANGER
9. Kerrod WALTERS

thats a tough one to go past
Disagree, Gibbs was a great player cruelled by injury. Wasn't picked on the 78' Kanagaroo tour for nothing.If you are compiling a list of all time best to compete with all time greats from other clubs, it would actually be very easy to go past any list with either "Gibbs" or "Serdaris" in it.
LOL!!!!
