NSW backline 2010

[watatank]

They're not really that much better at defending they're more or less "good enough"

 

[Vic Mackey]

Jennings, Morris and Lawrence are good young players but the QLD centres are far better defenders, are more experienced and have better halves distributing them the ball. Trying to match their backs attacking wise isn't the answer. The way to beat QLD is to contain them out wide with strong defenders and beat them through the middle of the field.

we tried that in 06/07/08 and it didnt work

 

[Gaba]

1- Gidley (lay down) or Stewart (lay down)

2- Hayne (lay down)

3- Jennings ( lay down)

4- J morris ?

5 - B Morris (lay down)

6- Gidley or Barret (lay down)

7- Wallace (lay down)/Kimmorely /Gidley


lay downs are certainties to be in no plans Bellamy side


wiht no plans Bellamy as coach
i think josh morris and kimmorely will miss out

 

[The Engineers Room]

Pick Hayne at fullback, Gidley was not up to it last year.

It didn't work because we keep selecting the wrong players. We have been selecting players like Quinn, Turner, McManus and Wolfman who are solid club players at best but ultimately were no match for the strong QLD backline. Cooper was good for NSW and kept Hodges relatively quiet but then they just went down Lyon/Gasnier's edge or went to the air and came up trumps.

We should be players who would be able to match QLD. We should be trying something like Luke Lewis/Beau Scott/Monaghan against Inglis, Monaghan, Stewart or Minichiello (if he finds form) to contest Folau in the air, Cooper back in the team to mark Hodges. It doesn't have to be all those players but we have to keep in mind we are up against virtually an all Australian backline and we need to be able to stop them before we can think about scoring points of our own.

Lawrence is a very strong defend. He's a better defender than an attacker in fact.

As a Queenslander, I love that backline. Needs a bit more Wolfman though, or Turner. Maybe some Lyon in there as well. SOMEONE has to play like they couldn't care less.

Bonus points if you pick Pearce and Anasta in the halves, and Mason/White/Kite in the forwards.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why people are determined to pick Cooper, and move players out of position to accomodate him. He's a decent defender, but he couldn't score a try to save himself.

The fact is, the Queensland back line will score no matter what you do or who you pick; it really is that good. Instead of playing negative, defensive footy, you're better off attacking and keeping us on the back foot, pinned in our own half where our halves have no room and our backline can't hurt you.

Depending on form, this is the backline you need:

1. J Hayne
2. B Morris
3. C Lawrence
4. J Morris
5. B Stewart/ J Monaghan/Anyone other than Wolfman, McManus or Turner
6. T Carney
7. B Kimmorley

As far away from SoO footy as possible: Gidley

The Morris brothers have solid defence and speed to burn - they also have some crazy psychic thing going on, play them together on the same side of the field. Larwence is a really good defender and plenty quick as well.

any chance you can apply for the job mate?

 

[mrblue]

1. Gidley.
2. McManus.
3. Tahu.
4. Cooper.
5. Jennings.

Obviously a pisstake with Gidley and McManus in the side but NSW can do MUCH worse than Tahu and Jennings.

I don't understand this logic. "negative, defensive footy" is the best way to pin QLD in their own half.

Theres no such thing as negaitve or positive footy in Origin (the mentality might be there, but it doesnt really exist). Its all about controlling the game and then having that something extra. NSW just need to select the best players and go from there. Players with character and the strongest desire to win. If we get more of the ball, make less mistakes, all that needs to be done is to take advantage of the the opportunities, and that I believe thats where we have gone wrong in the past, not takign advantage.

lol

character?

and tackling technique

stop inglis should be first priority.

he showed again in international games at end of 2009 that he is indeed the world's best, forget the 10-12 game run in one state of origin and club footy that hayne had, let him repeat that again this season and we can open the discussion again.

also add tate into the qld backline again, lookout!
