Origin Halves

[Bigfella]

Just a thought, with plenty of speculation over the NSW halves, my two cents worth:

7. Robbie Farah
6. Jamie Lyon

with Cooper, King, Tahu, Grothe the 3/4's.

Thoughts?

I reckon Farah is one of the form players of the comp, and the best dummy half in the game. But Buderus will start and with NSW lacking playmakers in the halves I think we should fit him in as much as possible.

He plays a percentage of each game there for the Tigers and it is the only time they ever look like scoring points TBH.

7. Gower
6. Lyon

Farah is laughable!

 

[oldmancraigy]

Gower is laughable too

Can't see the selectors going into an Origin game with no proven playmaker whatsoever...

They MAY pick Farrah on the bench imo (I would) as the utility sub (ie, halves or hooker)

7 Orford
6 Gower

Orford should be ready to come back soon..

 

[Phillips]

Gower is not good enough to start origin at halfback... i prefer him as a hooker off the bench if anything..

tahu wont play

i'd have: 1. Stewart 2. Hayne 3. King 4. Cooper 5. Grothe 6. Lyon 7. Orford/Mullen

Buderus will be hooker.. even though i wouldnt have him there...

Farah on the bench

How bout cooper cronk at 5/8? that is of couse if he can play for nsw.

 

[Phillips]

cronk is from QLD

 

[Stagger eel]

How bout cooper cronk at 5/8? that is of couse if he can play for nsw.

he's a Queenslander..surprise surprise.

 

[V1er]

there goes that idea then.

id have orford at half and either hornby and gower at 5/8. really says that nsw are struggling in the 5/8 department.

Queesnland is so gonna win this series 3-0

 

[shiftysmith]

in my eyes farah is one of the most underated players in the nrl,he is brillant out of dummy half he reads the game as good as anyone...

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Why not Michael Monaghan as the bench utility?

What's wrong with Andrew Johns? He would have his neck in front I would imagine.

:lol: Harsh, but funny.

 

[Bigfella]

No, not a Queensland fan.

But anyone called Fathead sounds perfectly suited for that role...

 

[pazzaeel]

7. John Morris
6. Brett Finch

 

[The Engineers Room]

6. Gower
7. Orford/Kimmorley

The 3/4 will be
2. Rooney
3. Cooper
4. Lyon
5. King

Good luck this year Bigfella! :lol:
