Best halves pairing you've seen?

[TheDalek079]

What's the best halves pairing you've seen? Are you an oldie who remembers Bozo/Horrie or Peard/Monkey?? Or maybe the more recent Keary/Cronk is your best ever?

To me, it's the SOO/Aus combo of Freddy/Joey

 

[mongoose]

Not sure why people say Freddy/Joey for NSW, they actually had a poor record together....lost in 95, they lost the decider together in 98. Lost game 1 in 1999.

Now Daley and Stuart, they owned Origin together

Thurston and Lockyer too.
Thurston and Cronk

 

[soc123_au]

Sterlo & Kenny. Pretty tough to beat that combo.

NRL era off the top of my head.

Rep: Thurston & Cronk, Thurston & Lockyer, Lockyer & Johns.

Club: Keary & Cronk, Widdop & Cronk, Thurston & Morgan, Prince & Marshall, Foran & DCE.

Club is a little harder, for the most part clubs can't afford 2 gun halves under the salary cap I guess

 

[Maroon4life]

Thurston/Lockyer at rep level

Langer/Walters
DCE/Foran

Cronk never really teamed with a strong 5/8 at club level.

 

[10$ Ferret]

Thurston/Lockyer at rep level

Langer/Walters
DCE/Foran

Cronk never really teamed with a strong 5/8 at club level.

I think he did alright with Keary.

Hunt/Milford

Obviously im a raiders fan and my answer is going to be pretty damn predictable...



Mark McLinden/Terry Martin
Yeah, that's a lumbering slow and frankly mediocre bench forward that i guarantee 99% of you dont even f**king remember... yeah my beloved Raiders started him in the halves in a semi final game!

Ferris/Dorn

T-ba lays down a serious early marker. I thought i'd hold the lead for at least a few posts with Tezza Martin

 

[pantherz9103]

My favourites unsurprisingly are Carter-Alexander in '91 and Campbell-Gower in '03 who were certainly good combos in our premiership years and a few other years but the best I saw would probably be Daley-Stuart for Canberra, NSW and Australia in the early to mid 90's.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Lewis and Langer effectively won nine straight Origin games, but for each missing one game to injury during that run in 88 and 89 respectively.

That is a level of dominance rarely seen before or again in the game.

 

[_Johnsy]

Sterlo & Kenny. Pretty tough to beat that combo.

Same for me, club, state, country.

 

[Bazal]

As a famous club, Parra have naturally had some ball tearers. I can't split;

6-Daniel Wagon 7-Michael Witt

6-Mark Riddell, 7-Brett Finch

And a special non-Eels mention involving a former Eel;

6-Dean Widders, 7-George Ndaira.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Lyons/Toovey
Thurston/Lockyer
Lewis/Langer
Stuart/Daley

 

[blue bags]

walters, langer were pretty handy doing there thing

 

[anjado]

Kenny/Sterling
Lamb/Mortimer
Daley/Stuart
Walters/Langer
Lyons/Toovey
Carter/Alexander
Florimo/Taylor
Fittler/Lam
Hill/Kimmorley
Campbell/Gower
Marshall/Prince

 

[Tommy Smith]

Cronk & Keary have won a combined 9 GFs. I'd say that's pretty handy.

 

[Valheru]

Luke keary and mitchell aubusson
