Should Soward be the nsw 5/8?

[Collateral]

Pretty simple, yes or no?

He has been criticised about his defence due to getting man handled by Inglis two years ago.
Since then he has gone on to win 1 Premiership, 2 Minor Premierships, The World Club Challenge & Represented the Aboriginal All-Stars.
He has also become a solid little defender (smashed and hurt Greg Bird this year and hit Sutton in a great tackle last night). Had Taylor running at him all night and didnt take a backwards step.

but no, lets put in a repeated flop like Gidley as NSW 5/8 :roll:

 

[Perth Red]

Yes if you want Q'land to win another series!

 

[Collateral]

Also forgot to mention his goal kicking is at 91% for this season.

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Unfortunately yes

 

[gronkathon]

Yes with Mullen at half

 

[redvscotty]

1. Stewart (will he even be back in time?)
2. Morris
3. Gaz
4. Jennings
5. Gordon
6. Soward
7. Mullen
8. Weyman
9. Ennis
10. Mannah
11. Gallen (c)
12. Watmong
13. Bird

14. Lewis
15. Snowden
16. Tolman
17. TLL or Hunt or someone. TLL is out of form atm though.

 

[Euphoria85]

it hurts me to say this but yes, soward deserves the 5/8 spot. he hasnt put a wrong foot yet.

it should be

1. hayne
6. soward
7. mullen
9. farah

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

f**k oath he should. His defence has improved out of site & his kicking game is second to none.

Stick him on the right with Gasnier and Scott and Inglis is much less a factor in Origin.

 

[Danish]

Can't see why not.

Who would we pick instead? Carney certainly is in no state to be playing, and no one else is really standing up.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Gidley

 

[applesauce]

God I hope NSW pick him. It will be a bloodbath!

 

[herbert henry1908]

Its certainly his time. He's earnt it.

We cant ignore a genuine 5/8 given our lack of depth

 

[carcharias]

yes.
If they had any brains they would surround him with as many dragons backs as possible.

 

[aqua_duck]

Yes, he's got that X-factor and his kicking game is awesome. His defence has improved ten fold and worse comes to worse he's quick enough to defend out wide.
In Mullen and Soward you've got 2 pretty quick halves who can spread the field abit with their movement which will open the game up abit more, then you have Jarryd Hayne chiming in and it's not a bad combination. I just hope we pick a strong pack, Snowden has to be starting prop and I'd love to see Mannah alongside him

 

[Panfas]

4. Jennings

Not a chance, he is in terrible form this year!

 

[saint-colesy]

f**k I hate seeing people rule players out cause they're out of form this year. Form is temporary class lasts forever

 

[herbert henry1908]

f**k I hate seeing people rule players out cause they're out of form this year. Form is temporary class lasts forever

Very true.

Jennings in a good team can and will cause serious problems for the defence.

 

[sting]

Yes if you want Q'land to win another series!

then who at 5/8 will win the series for NSW???

seriously you have f**k all idea about the game.

 

[Bman26]

If we pick Morris i'll be upset. He has been so very very very very very average this year. Gordon has to be one winger and maybe Uate the other

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

then who at 5/8 will win the series for NSW???

seriously you have f**k all idea about the game.

Well said
