Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2744034, member: 1899"] The biggest issue with Maloney/Reynolds is that you need a ball-player. Maloney can run the football and has one of the better kicking games but beyond that he's limited in what he can do and is a liability in defence. I would probably go with him since he's been the best five-eighth who happens to be from NSW since 2013 but I don't know if he'd combine well with Reynolds. Adam brings a lot of the same attributes as Maloney but he hasn't been the same player since 2014 and seems even more limited. That's especially true if the Blues opt to go with a spine that includes Coote and Ennis. Both those players already possess a strong short kicking game, negating the effectiveness of what Adam bring to the table. So I can at least see the logic in going with Pearce since he compliments Maloney better. However, NSW can't keep picking a bloke who has failed in every single series he has participated in. So they need to look elsewhere and take an educated risk. So if I was picking today, my #7 would be Aidan Sezer who is tougher than Reynolds, does a better job of creating space for his outside men, has a smarter kicking game and can play pressure football if needed. The Blues don't need anybody too fancy, just somebody who can create space so that guys like Coote, Ferguson, Dugan and Jennings can shine. [/QUOTE]
