2013: Who should join Carney in the halves?

[age.s]

So the consensus was that Pearce had a pretty poor series, has been given enough time to stamp his authority on the position but hasn't done so. His kicking game and 5th tackle options were abysmal all series (not just when the forwards were getting smashed), Farah was our main creative outlet, and our line looked disorganized and shabby in attack.

But we'll still need an Origin standard 7. Assuming we give Carney another shot and that we can stick a 6 or 7 on his back, who would you have partner him in the halves?

 

[Vic Mackey]

You list 16 options, including many who will never get near origin, yet leave out campese?

 

[perverse]

Tonnes of options without any real standout. Whoever is playing better of Maloney, Mullen, Campese or Soward for mine. In all 4 of these cases you would probably have to move Carney to halfback. Sezer and both Reynolds will still be a year off in my book... we've made enough blunders with young halves. Unless they are absolutely shredding the comp up and demanding selection over others, I would wait with them.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knew I'd forget somebody. :crazy:

Can't edit poll. Just pick other I guess.

 

[God-King Dean]

Finch.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Campese > Carney, and by quite a distance. Even with 1 leg.

Carney should have been deregistered permanently in 2009. He shouldn't be able to play rep footy in the first place. F*ck him.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Campese will be injured anyway no use including him.

mmm, good point. :lol:

Soward mainly because of his kicking game. I rate it in the top 3 in the comp. the other two are playing 6 and 7 for QLD.

Id go:
6. Carney
7. Soward

Nice troll.

Wallace

By a mile

 

[Nightward]

Wallace never did anything to merit being dropped in the first place. It seriously messed with his head and psychologically he is just starting to get back to where he was at the time.

This is a bloke who literally gave up a nut playing for his state. If he was a Queenslander he would still be getting picked when he was 80 and mobile only with the aid of a powered wheelchair.

 

[MacDougall]

If Hasler had have actually given Hodkinson his spot back he would be in the mix.

Maloney has it all over Wallace and Pearce and Carney for that matter,and he also runs the hard lines in attack,something both our halves were devoid of in all 3 games.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol@mcrone :lol:

I can see the young rabbletoh Reynolds being given a run.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

lol.

It isn't looking too good is it.

 

[wittyfan]

A. Reynolds fo sho!

And Other to get a spot on the bench!

 

[cornerposter]

I'm sure Pearce is on the brink of contributing. Give him one more year I say...

Three seasons minimum. Need to let him learn the game and get experience and then after ten in a row, they can bring Sticky Stuart or Joey out of retirement.

 

[Meth]

I can't see a halves combination that will compete with Thurston/Cronk anywhere on the NSW horizon.
