Two best form players for nsw in #6 atm are Anasta and Carney, in saying that though, I think his style of play would be well suited to a Graham Murray game plan, but, time will tell who gets picked.
it'll be a bad year this year.. but next year i can see the carneys.. mullens and other youngins start to shine and bring NSW back into favour.Baron Vo Mandor said:Gowers easily the best option ATM, who to put next to him lol.
I think its going to be a lean 2-3 for NSW unfortunately

i think you're judging kurt gidley the 5/8th, not kurt gidley the fullback. all he has shown us this year has been spark and flair. his broken field runs have been damaging and if he doesnt break the line he looks like breaking the it very often. also been very safe under the high ball. i've no doubt in my mind the #1 origin jersey is (for the moment) divided between stewert and gidley. gidley is a fitness freak and also has the immense versatility in his favour.skeepe said:I don't hate the Knights.
OK that's a lie, but it doesn't colour my opinion of their players. I'm a big fan of Buderus and think he's the premier hooker in the game, but you can't deny that ON FORM Farah is better. I would have no problems with Buderus lining up in the 9 for the Blues.
You also can't deny that Mullen has shown nothing like representative level form so far in first grade. That's fine though, he's just starting out and I have no doubts he'll be a superb player in the future.
As for Kurt Gidley, yes he has been playing well but are you really saying he's SOO level? Come on, surely even someone with red and blue eyes can see that he's just not an Origin player? He's more in the Brett Finch mould, if he makes it he probably won't let you down but he just doesn't have the spark that you need to make it at that level and is far too prone to going missing.
For what it's worth, Steve Simpson should be the first second-rower picked... he's been tremendous this year.
