Quote: Sal Paradise "Given his performance in game 1 and the quality of his play since his return from RU how does Gasnier get selected?
What does Farah have to do to get a game?'"
I personally think Gasnier has looked far better this year than he did last year. Some games he hasn't done much and he was very poor in Origin but he didn't get much ball and when he did Boyd read it well and shut him down as soon as he recieved the ball. But for the Dragons he's looked far more like the Gasnier of a few years ago during some games but he needs good early ball in space, Uate on the outside of him will be deadly but they need space. Uate ran the ball hard in Origin but other than that he didn't do much, the whole right edge didn't see enough ball, it all went down the left and that's why Jennings played well.
I dont think Farah deserves a spot in the NSW side, he's had a couple of games in 09 and was terrible. He is the most classy and skillful hooker in the game but he's not consistent. He is either outstanding or shocking, there's no inbetween with him and he hasn't performed when given the chance before. Some of tackling can be dire as it was when Folau walked through him in an Origin game as if he wasn't there, Ennis is a different sort of player and hasn't got the skills of Farah but he's still a very good hooker. Dean Young is never a hooker, i always used to say that to Dally, and he deserved dropping as Gidley offers far more from the bench although Ennis can easily play the full 80, i just hope Ennis doesn't kick as it was his poor kick that led to QLD scoring the winner from it, Soward needs to be kicking, why Pearce kicked for the first 20 minutes in the first game was stupid, Soward is the best kicker in the comp and they let Pearce do the kicking.
