Good player Gidley, however at this level he is about as inspirational as a can of Spam.
These problems began in the final game of the 2008 series, when Bellamy in his wisdom chose Gid's over the then NSW #1 Brett Stewart, leaving Steart on the bench until the final minutes.The following year Snake hits the headlines for all the wrong reasons while being the games pre season poster boy. Gidley becomes entrenched in Bellamy's plans, so much so that he names him Captain. At the time I was stunned, hadn't this bloke seriously only scored the fullback role because Stewart had dudded himself then suffered a season crunching injury?
NSW lost last years series but somehow the masses saw hope in a game three result where Gid's showed courage in catching the final bomb of the match which NSW won. Seriously, Qld were on the juice all week in a dead rubber, I can't believe this result held credibility.... and it came to game two 2010. The captain is selected on the bench, comes on in the 27th minute, gets in the way of everything while trying his guts out. Dead set he was trying too hard and the selectors nailed the blue cofin shut right here. It's dud decision after dud decision when it comes to Origin for Craig Bellamy. And the selectors have no guts to stand up to him, they should all go. Go and get stuffed. We must start from this game. Building with a plan for the future. If we try to focus just on this next 2010 game three... well game two 2011 could end up 60 nil.
