Perhaps not but still managed to run down Manu Vatuvai last week. I would have Hindy in the mix for sure.
True, but one run does not a season make.

If Mini is fit (which we will not know until selection time) it will be between him and Stewart (assuming he is playing again by then) as the first choice fullback. It will only be because both of these players are unavailable that Gidley would be considered.
Even if both Stewart AND Mini are unavailable for whatever reason this year, the captaincy is a long term appointment, they wont say "Well Stewart and Mini are unavailable so we'll put Gidley at fullback and make him the captain". What happens next year when Stewart is available??
So why exactly, did Gidley get picked ahead of Stewart in the run-on side in game three last year?

That it doesn't but doing one good thing isnt really Hindmarshs style, plus he looked fitter than ever. I think he would be a great addition to the side if he continues what he showed v the WarriorsTrue, but one run does not a season make.
Does anyone here read or listen?
Craig Bellamy - NSW Coach - has requested to NSW selectors that Kurt Gidley play 80 minutes for NSW in either the fullback, 5/8, halfback or hooker positions in 2009 State Of Origin.
Given that being the case, have a DUNCE hat for anyone here who still thinks Kurt Gidley won't be picked for NSW in the starting team :lol:
He's an average utility, a sh*t hooker, a worse halfback, equally bad 5/8th.
Its fullback or nothin... bellamy is an idiot otherwise

Cause Bellamy is a goose. Why was Steve fricken Turner picked in game 2?
Greg Inglis made him look like Joven Clarke or Roy Bell.....no....Justin Ryder!

The point still is , the coach gets what the coach wants.
And he wants Gidley to start - wherever that is.
spot on.The reason Gidley got picked as a utility last year isn't because he was a utility, it's because he was too invaluable to not be picked in the side. The bloke makes more runs and more metres than any other fullback in the NRL. He makes more tackles than any other fullback and has a good kicking game also. He may not be as fast, flashy, or score as many tries as Stewart. He does pretty much everything else better though.
was no-one watching Game 3 last year? gidley absolutely let rip in that game and was one of the key reasons why NSW almost snatched a win there.
crap. more balls in the forwards would have made more of a difference in a series clinching win.Brett Stewarts speed might have made more of a difference and a series clnching win.
