NSW Supporters do you want to see Johns at 7 in game 2?

[Beaches Boy]

Kimmorley is a chocker! he can't handle it when he is under pressure. Every SOO game he has played in has been a shocker, its not like, last night was the first time. I think he has cracked under pressure for years, remember back to his Northern Eagles days when he was on 500K per year how he responded to the pressure he received from the media, Club Admin and demanding the Manly fans, it was the worst season of his career.

The game was really won and lost in the selection rooms. NSW going in with two props was insane. A few changes and Queensland will be brushed aside with ease.

I think Fittler and Johns should be a halves for Origin 2.

Freddy isn't playing footy anymore. Noddy barely earnt his pay check when he was with the Northern Eagles.

Johns just said he's ready, and Gould backed him.

.... with a certain amount of sarcasm. I wonder if Gould has a say in the selection of the team. He didn't seem all that fussed by the idea of getting Johns back in again.

I think either way, Kimmorley has to be replaced. It wasn't a mixed performance in the slightest -- I think just about everything was ordinary last night; kicking, passing, tackling, whingeing.... his whole game. He did make some good tackles though -- but maybe I noticed because I was hanging out for a positive contribution from the halfback.

I'd like to see Johns, provided he's fit and capable. At the top of his game, few can match it with him. But, Gower or Orford would perform well too. Either of those three would be fine, just not Kimmorley.

I can't believe anyone is calling for Orf or Gower. Both are going ordinary in teams that are going ordinary. Over the last few years I've enjoyed watching Penrith and Melbourne more than most other teams, but they've both lost their way and the halves are contributing to the form loss. If Joey didn't break his jaw then maybe you'd look at him, but he did. Noddy is the form 7 in the comp and by far the best option for game 2 and should be there for game 3 as well unless he repeats last night.

... as you can see after he broke his jaw the knights failed to win a game.

You're a smart guy, really!
