Blocker and the Big Maan pick their Blues side

4/05/2008 8:58:56 AM Thats a solid team. Except Brett Finch should be halfback. I mean Matt
Orford hit the nail on the head the other week when people were saying Robbie Farah should be halfback when he's a regular HOOKER. I mean geese its an insult to every halfback in the comp to put a player in the halfback position who doesnt play halfback for his club. I mean im not doubting Gidley, but Finch has to get the position. He's plaing halfback at club level and is playing some good footy. Posted by: Anthony Tassone, Hornsby, Australia Reply

5/05/2008 1:16:09 PM mitchell pearce should get a bench spot hes not too young go back to freddys days, or ben ikins origin debut theres plenty of history in origin.what about luke lewis hes playing great footy.what about gidley on the wing, hayne has had two decent games this season not really earning a spot in origin. is this not supposed to be the best of the sydney boys not sentimental favourites we want to SMASH QUEENSLAND!!

6/05/2008 4:52:54 AM Hi wat a horrible line up. bieng a blues supporter im pretty disgusted. 4 starterz mat cooper has probably been the best nsw backrower in the last few years. in da dead rubba last year he absolutely tore the maroons apart. greg bird is a tough player but definitely not 5/8. think bout it. fittler.....barrett......BIRD!!
nah man. it just doesnt make sense. kurt gidley will be wasted at halfback. SERIOUSLY! half is da bloody main position and 2 hav a part timer there is rubbish. gidley bench..... Posted by: Shuaib Ali, BrisVegas, Australia Reply

6/05/2008 4:59:37 AM ..... jarrod mullen halfback. hez a beta than last year and is a natural playmaker with n excellent kicking game. finch sux under pressure. 5/8 should eitha b anasta or hornby. i mean seriusly. u can just c hornby slotting in 5/8 position. he bloody deserves it!

GO DA MIGHTY BLUEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by: Shuaib Ali, BrisVegas, Australia Reply

6/05/2008 10:50:50 AM I know that NSW is a little light on for halves this year as they were last year. But I do not agree with selecting a player out of position just to put him in the team. Gidley has had an awesome season...at FULLBACK not HALFBACK! If Stewart is to be fullback, and deservedly so, then unfortunately Gidley is on the bench. What about Peter Wallace (broncos Halfback) who has proven himself with the Broncos and knows Lockyer and the Qld backs play. Give him a shot..not gidley! Posted by: Eel Nut, Sydney, Australia Reply
