2012 NSW soo side..

[Walt Flanigan]

lol I'm not sure where I've said that Farah's Australian selection was warranted.

All I've said is the he's better than Ennis and that his selection in the 3 games that he played off the bench for Australia in 2009/10 are largely irrelevant when comparing it to the consistent selection of Ennis for NSW the last 3 series.

6. Campese

You said rep. selectors don't rate him which is obviously wrong because he's been selected in the Kangaroos squad for the past 3 years.

And I disagree being selected for representative games isn't the only way to be rated as a player. Constant praise by the media + public is far more important. Hence, the public found players like Orford overrated even though Matty never played a game for NSW. Which is incredible in hindsight but at the time nobody was really complaining.

 

[broncos70]

1. Dugan/Stewart
6. Campese
7. Carney
9. Hinchcliffe/Gidley

They're the players I fear most as a QLD supporter.

Hinchcliffe doesn't get looked at because he's got Smith in front of him at melbourne, but he's a really good hooker, and can play in the backrow too. He carved up in city/country last year when he had his one chance, and is really direct.

As much as NSW supporters hate Gidley, he has looked more dangerous from dummy half then all your hookers have in the past 4 yrs.

Buderus, Farah and Ennis don't pose a threat at all. A bit of bias, but I do wish Wallace played hooker as he looks dangerous when he goes there occasionally for the Broncs, and he's a fantastic defender.

Campese and Carney are the 2 most dangerous halves in NSW, and the same as Dugan/Stewart from fb.

Just on Stewart, I haven't seen anything from him this year demanding he be picked.

I never would have said this last year, but if Dugan isn't ready, I'd put Hayne at fullback and Morris on the wing (if Morris continues this form).

 

[Dragon_Taylor6]

Carney can't play 7. Doesn't work very well.

 

[legend]

I would go:

Dugan
Uate
Lawrence
Jennings
Morris
Campese
Pearce
Fensom
Watmough
Bird
Gallen
Ennis
Tolman

TLL
Stewart
Lewis
Merrin

And thats something we can surely all agree on, unless you're Doggiesbro lol. Never have I seen a player so rewarded though the media and his origin selections for nothing more than being a niggler.

I never would have said this last year, but if Dugan isn't ready, I'd put Hayne at fullback and Morris on the wing (if Morris continues this form).

But that form has been from the wing. If Morris isn't at fullback I wouldn't want him in the side.

 

[Haffa]

I've never really been much of a Soward fan but his form hardly warrants being dropped and nobody has stepped up to warrant being picked in his place.

Carney and Campo are both 4 games into their returns after missing most of last year and have been great in patches but hardly dominate.

Mullo has started the year ok, but again hardly warrants selection over Soward at this stage.

Ennis, Farah or Bedsy? Bedsy every time, reliable service from dummy half, great in defence but don't expect him to play 80 minutes.

 

[goosie]

soward is playing unreal atm have to admit.

 

[Joker's Wild]

He's not tonight

 

[umina panther]

Mullen played good in a beaten side tonight

 

[broncos70]

Carney can't play 7. Doesn't work very well.

Where'd you get that information from? the more the guy touches the ball, the better he plays. He absolutely shredded the broncos either last yr or the yr before at halfback when pearce was ruled out. Made us look like 12 yr olds

 

[Dragon2010]

Carney and Mullen still have (?) over their heads.

 

[Spot On]

Carney/Campo halves combo anyone?

 

[Whats Doing]

TBH, the most consistent half this year has been Wallace who is providing great structure for the Broncs.

 

[jbl31649]

It's gotta be Carney/Maloney. Doesn't matter who plays where... make it work, but I will say Soward is keeping his head above water with his kicking. Thats not enough though and I feel my half choices are strong in defence have excellent kicking both long/short, High and low good passing and some good running.

Most important in attack is both can run and read defensive mistakes, then adjust to it.

# I know this pair wont happen and on here I'm sure I'll have my critics, but if we run Gids out of Hooker we could really roll QLD.

I don't just want to win this year, I wont the Blues to dominate SOO and redeem some respect. Ever that or win the fight.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I thought Sowards kicking over all last night was pretty poor, in the 1st half especially

 

[Dragon2010]

Soward has been nothing good this year nor did he show enough form in Origin to keep his jersey

I like Carney/Maloney combo
