NSW Hooker poll

[Big Pete]

The whole Farah isn't an Origin player yet Ennis is has to be one of the biggest myths in the game.

 

[timka4]

Agreed. The hooker closest to Camerons skill level is Farah, hence my pick

 

[Joker's Wild]

Farahs injury cloud is my biggest worry tbh

He played SOO injured in '09 and put in a very poor performance.

Still better than Ennis though

 

[meltiger]

JW that was broken ribs in 09

 

[Joker's Wild]

Um yeah. Last I checked broken ribs are an injury and I said he played injured

My point being that SOO is not a place you can take weaknesses into whether its a dodgy groin, sore hamstring or broken ribs.

Farah also made more tackles than any other player on the park in C v C last weekend. I think the structure around him needs to be tight and communicative if he is going to succeed at Origin and it is one of the few things I believe Ricky brings to the coaching role.

I still think they will go Young and Hinchcliffe or Ennis and Hinchcliffe but time will tell

 

[diddi kong]

yep young has proven he's a big match player. hinchcliffe looks promising but he hasnt played enough first grade hooker. but i'd go young hinchcliffe ennis farah. i like farah great club player but his defence doesnt cut it at origin

 

[Vic Mackey]

ennis was terrible tonight

 

[aqua_duck]

It's such a big myth that Michael Ennis is tough, a hard man, enforcer or good defender. Ennis is alot like Chris Sandow, a niggly merkin who tries to put on big shots and misses alot of the time. Farah is by far the superior defender, makes more tackles, misses less, and is far more skillful in attack. How Ennis can get on fooling peole into thinking he's tough and made for origin is beyond me.
Even though a can't stand the merkin, Anthony Watmough is what I'd call an origin type player, a player who can break a game open but is also abit of a nutcase and can back up his aggression with some punishing runs and tackles, Ennis can niggle but when push comes to shove we all know where Ennis will be, hiding behind Kade Snowden

Farah and Hinchcliffe should be the only two names being looked at here.

Especially if selectors run with Pearce at halfback. He's an average organiser and doesn't have the greatest kicking game, so Farah would bring an alternative which could prove useful.

He can play at half too.

Can't believe Young is mentioned.

 

[gregstar]

young should be the captain.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

De Gois. Back from injury and perfect for the role.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I like young as a player however he said in an interview last week that he does 15 mins of ball work a week as that's all his knee can handle.

That's fine for the dragons where he knows the plays however coming into a new team I can't see it being a good thing

 

[Mr Fourex]

Can't believe Young is mentioned.

It's a fair call to mention him........but I agree that Farrah should be option no.1

2. Ennis

3. Young

 

[gronkathon]

I still think if the NSW selectors had done the right thing in the first place and let Farah serve an apprenticeship under Buderus for one full series the transition would have been alot easier and more fruitful.

But thats Fulton & Co for you

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

I fail to see what Dean Young adds in any position? He's not even first choice hooker at his club

I can't believe you don't think Young has contributed to the Dragons recent successes.

Premiers, World Club Champs, Minor Premiers x 2, you know?


Yeah, but Young shouldn't be mentioned.

You just went full genius.

I fail to take any of your posts seriously with that ridiculous name.

Lol @ Pearce and the Roosters in general.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

St Merge fans can't communicate with regular fans

 

[gronkathon]

Young or Hinchcliffe realistically should be the bench option, especially if Lewis is in the side and that way you have someone to cover the backs in Lewis and a benchie who is a capable hooker but also a force in the backrow and it gives you more options depending on the flow of the game
