If Fittler plays in 3, Finch will be there...he did nothing wrong, which seems to be the Hornby arguement :lol: :lol: :lol:

if Kimmorley is fit theres no way Finch will be there or are you just having a dig at the saints here??

We need matchwinners, not players who simply did nothing wrong.

Time for fullback number 3 of the series and the guy in the BEST FORM i know he doesnt play for the selectors/coaches clubs but hes a damn fine little player i gurantee you.

I'll put my house on it that regardless of whether Fittler makes himself available, Finch will not be there if Gower/Kimmorley/Barrett/Orford are fit to play. I thought Finch played well, particularly the first half, but his lack of experience showed in the 2nd half when he went missing. He did very well though considereing the short preparation. He's not in the same class as the other 4 though.

If Joel Clinton doesn't get a run in Origin III it shows what a joke the bias NSW Selcetors are.

 

[CouldaBeenAnything]

True...Stevens may as well have not played the amount that Gould had him on, was almost embarrassing for him.

 

[JCSwank]

Wasn't it typical Goose Gould - talk Stevens up all week and then hardly use him at all. If you look at his stats, they are pretty good for 19 minutes on the park: -
9 tackles
6 hit ups for 55 metres.

Compares very favourably against Kite's stats, but then again Gould loves Kite and says he is made for Origin

1. Minichello
2. Tahu
3. Gidley
4. Lewis
5. Rooney
6. Hill
7. Gower
13.Timmins
12.Fitzgibbon
11.Hindmarsh
10.Clinton
9. Buderus
8. O'Meley

14 Mason
15 Ryan
16 Thompson
17 Gidley

No use having Stevens or Waterhouse there as Gould obviously doesn't rate them. Wing has done nothing in two games, and give Lance Thompson a go in front of Kite.

 

[SouthernTiger]

Stevens was playing very well last night when he was on the field. Its hard to fathom why he wasnt given more game time

cheers

I'd very much like to see that team. If Gower and Kimmorley aren't fit, then Orford should get the spot.

lmao - you're dropping Gidley and Tahu??? Keeping Stevens and bringing in Kimmorley (who I thought would be unavailable) and Peachey ( :lol: :lol: :lol: ) Oh - a sharks fan, that explains the latter, but seriously you watched the game and would dump Gidley and Tahu??? Turn it up

 

[EdBurton]

Just curious as to what BIAS they have against Clinton?
There are other Panthers in the team.

That post just proved your ignorance dimwit, someone already posted Stevens' stats and they were outstanding for 19 minutes of game time. Peachey is the 2nd choice fullback behind Hodgson, and anybody who says Minichiello is better than Hodgson is kidding themselves. Gidley and Tahu are the Turnstile Duo - too much of a liability in Origin. Slater and Tonga had them for dinner yesterday.
