Who should be the NSW Halfback for the 2008 State of Origin Series?

Question

Competitors are:

Brett Finch - Eels - 1 NSW Caps

Jarrod Mullen - Knights - 1 NSW Caps

Kurt Gidley - Knights - 2 NSW Caps (0 as Halfback)

Mitchell Pearce - Roosters - 0 NSW Caps

Brett Kimmorely - Sharks - 8 NSW Caps

Matt Orford - Sea Eagles - 0 NSW Caps

Answer 1

Finch... not that it matters coz QLD will smash them anyway...

Answer 2

Finch is only their because his father is in charge of the referees - should be Todd Carney

Answer 3

after tonights game jarrod mullen could get the number 7 jersey coz he played outstanding

Answer 4

Finch should get it, kimmorley and orford have played them selves out of contention, Pearce is too young and inexperienced, gidley is arguably the best utility player in the world but not a genuine halfback Mullen would be the only other plausible option, but I'm not sure if he has adequate leadership skills in a high intensity game

Answer 5

Mullen for me. Although Finch did well in the C vs C match he did nothing outstanding and Pearce is too young

Answer 6

Going from form and the city country game and the games played over the weekend i think the half 5/8 combination should be Mullen and Carney. They are both young and willing to try things, both have great kicking games.

Forget Anasta for 5/8. He has been tried before, the only time he played decent at 5/8 he had Johns at half. They have never used Anasta for a full series, if they start with him they will drop him by game 3.

Mullen and Carney for me. If not that Carney and Bird.

I would also play Gidley at Fullback.

Answer 7

pearce and i think kidley will probably be somewhere in the bench.

Answer 8

i reckon brett finch and kidley running in as full back, kidley finch and bederus, great combination

Answer 9

brett finch he know the pressure since playing in a nsw game and a few grand finals, Mitchell Pearce, todd carney maybe in a year or two they have no experience

Answer 10

It should be Peter Wallace.  It will be Brett Kimmorley

Answer 11

i think it should be brett finch as the half back

because he won't let the occasion get to him and his been there before

i think pearce isn't ready yet...he shouldn't be pushed into origin like mullen was last year, he should be developed more and help NSW to victory in the future

Answer 12

it will be either finch or pearce

Answer 13

It will be:

First match: Finch, he has a dismal performance, gets dropped.

Second match: Pearce, will display inexperience, Dropped

Thrid match: Either Kimmorely(for experience) or Gidley(give it shot cause it will be 2-0 anyway)

Answer 14

If they go for form it should be either Gidley or Pearce. But the selectors usually pick an old favourite, so it will probably be Matt Orford. Just not bloody Kimmorely.

Answer 15

should be wallace

Answer 16

mullen 4 suree.. he has the best kickin game & will have the qlders runnin round confused  or kimmorley the rest arent good enuff this year
