Worst halfback in NRL 2011

[Jason Maher]

I'll save Gaba the trouble and nominate Mitchell Pearce on his behalf...

 

[Apey]

It's unfortunate Dureau has moved on and cannot compete in this thread :sarcasm:

 

[umina panther]

yeah Dureau could of gave Sandow a run for his money

 

[Ausguy]

Tim Smith goes alright. Sometimes he's guilty of trying too hard. Let's face it, how well could he play inside a backline uncapable of finding a hole in a 2 dollar hooker.

Ha ha that same backline didn't have a problem finding holes in your team of hookers last year. Twice.

 

[Gaba]

Tim Smith is horrid

and

Tim Smith by far. Nobody is even close.

This guy is the dickhead who tackled a player when we had the ball for no reason. He is an idiot of the highest order. Every kick in their 20 goes dead, every pass is a bullet and every tackle is missed. Throw in a sh*t attitude you have one very painful number 7.

He out played mitchell pearce twice


Pearce was the only halfback who smith is capable of out playing




in fact Brain smith had to get the binoculars out in the grand final , wondering where the hell pearce went hiding.
That how bad pearce is



the nsw players they had to make sure there was actually 13 players on the field, pearce went missing that badly



The roosters are no chance if carney is unfit due to recovering from injury and relying on pearce to actually do something other then the kick .


Brian smith will have to get his binoculars out again when the pressure is on pearce will be no where to be seen.

In fact this year smith will have to buy the 16 players who are name in the team binoculars to make sure pearce is on the field

He's a c**k, but Sandow was good last year and this year I reckon he'll be an absolute gun.

Terrible defender and I hope he gets punched in the mouth but the kid has skills.

Tim Smith has skills (ordinary running game though) and has good size and good defence.

From '05 to '07 he was excellent. 2008 he only played 3 games and f**ked off to England.

2009 he was excellent for Wigan but he got injured.

2010 he was average in a poor team but he had a couple of good games. Behind a strong pack he might have a blinder in 2011.

I vote Mortimer to have a worse year than Sandow or Smith. But I think he'll improve a lot and somebody not on this list will be the worst half in the NRL this year - Cherry-Evans is a rookie under a lot of pressure and Hodkinson has second season syndrome to look forward to.

Sandow will probably have a massive 2011, and Tim Smith certainly could. Mortimer will be average, which is fine for a 21 year old with less than 40 first grade games.

Are you kidding?

Pearce is quality.

 

[Gaba]

Are you kidding?

Pearce is quality.

ok i get it :lol::lol:

calmed down now

 

[Jason Maher]

*facepalm*

 

[Gaba]

yeah i cant help myself , pearce gets me fired up so much i lose it and dont think straight

 

[_snafu_]

16 missed tackles in one game. Sandow.

8 of those were on Boyd in the one play.

Chooks have the best halves in the game.

Shame the rest of their team's average and their coach is Brian Smith.

 

[Timmah]

Sandow's "defence" has him winning by the length of the straight. Mortimer next worst, Tim Smith is a complete player IMO just lacking in confidence and playing in a team with only one or two other real quality players.

 

[aussies1st]

If you are going halfback then Mortimer, still don't see him as a halfback hes a 5/8 for me.

 

[derp]

Soward will still be the worst

 

[kia ora storm]

Tim Smith...panics too much in set plays and has a crap kicking game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sandow's "defence" has him winning by the length of the straight.

Sandow's defence doesn't change the fact his attack is excellent. But it does detract from Souths' defence overall, considering he defends next to Sam Burgess, who is essentially a front-rower playing out wide, and who also misses a lot of tackles.

Compounding this is Dave Taylor on the other side of the field. Another front-rower playing out wide who misses a lot of tackles and worse, doesn't make a lot in the first place.

All three are great attacking players however. Expect Souths to break some pointscoring records this year.

You could have listed some more halfbacks on that list. While Souths' halves pairing is questionable at best, I think Sandow is a much better player than Sutton.

From your list I went with Smith.

All three are great attacking players however. Expect Souths to break some pointscoring records this year.

I agree that Souths have a lot of potential points in them but I reckon Luke is the key man in their team because he has something that very few players
have - vision to see what's going to happen 2 or 3 plays ahead. Sandow's role has got to be to be ready to go when Luke goes.

For all the bullsh*t written about souths (including by me at times) Souths have a pretty decent array of attacking players - Burgess, Luke, Inglis, Sutton, Taylor, Sandow. They still won't win it this year though.

 

[Von]

I'd put at least 3 quarters of the Sandow votes down to Souths haterism.

When I voted I stated my reasons, so I would not be accused of just "voting against Souths".
I voted and gave my reasons for doing so. That is my opinion. That is my right to cast a vote.

As I was voting I thought BM will chime in with the old "everyone hates us" tag.
Well surprise surprise he has.

You gotta grow up BunniesMan and fast.
You are 1 angry little 20 year old.
Grow up and get that chip of your shoulder.

Cue nasty reply.....
