Origin Halfback

[Crushercleal]

Barrett's out of Origin. Is it just down to Ox and the dirty child pervert Gower for the NSW Halfback spot?

 

[The Wheel]

Unless Joey makes a late decision to make himself avaialbele.

Surely with Gowers injury wows this year Ox should be a shoe in.

Finch did the job for a bit last year and whilst I don't rate him there is a chance that he will get a look in. It may well depend on the City Country games. Sherwin is out of favour, Kimmorley is injured, Tim Smith is a QLDer and finding the going tough and Gower has had a lot of time on the bench with injury.

OX is a big chance.

matty head??

Finch can hardly hold his spot in the Roosters team.

If The Ox has 2 more standout games he'll have a good chance. But if Gower is fit he'll get it. Barret could get it as well I suppose.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Good point Byso - Barrett is a perennial favourite and seems to get picked no matter what his club form is. Who says he is out???

 

[Crushercleal]

He stood down from Origin today

 

[JohnB_32]

Yeh he stood down as it was a clause in his contract if he went to england so he wont be able to play rep footy this year

thanks JB - you could have told me verbally and done your homework instead!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Apparently both Head and Gower look uncertain to play before the team is selected, so the Ox looks a shoe-in.

 

[Fro]

yeah but a halves pairing of Anasta and Orford wont strike much fear with the Queenslanders

thanks JB - you could have told me verbally and done your homework instead!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

hey CW u arent one of the Nazi teachers i had growing up are you dood.

Id lose so much respect for u if u are 😛 😛

 

[The Wheel]

Love your sig Cliffy, Matabele will be impressed

 

[Nutzcraw]

Any takers for a hornby/anasta pairing???

I really rate hornby he's a top notch player!!


I guess you could throw Karmicheal Hunt in there too now :blaugh: :blaugh:

 

[fLIP]

If Orford continues to play how he has been and continues to get the good press of recent weeks he will take the number 7 jersey even if Gower is fit.

Kimorley said last week his is still 4 - 6 weeks away so its longer than expected. He's been known to unexpectedly and undiservedly stealling rep jumpers.

I think we'll have two many players gone this year. One of the hardest hit clubs IMO.

Orford, Menzies, Kennedy, Kite and bell with Watmough a maybe... although a very big maybe.

Then theres C v C. We have got a hard road ahead over the next few months.

I don't know if he's a Nazi, but he is a staunch labor voter and leader of the Latham fan club. 😉
