Why this year? He's never got a look in regardless of how he has played.

Simply because NSW have exhausted most avenues in recent times without success and Matt Orford is someone they have yet to try, if Kimmorley keeps up his good start with the Bulldogs then even he could be in for a re-call.

I`m a NSW follower and the current state of half backs at Origin level has been poor in recent years, the likes of Anasta, Mullen, Bird, Pearce, Finch, Gower, Wallace and even trying Gasnier at 6 says it all really.

Matt Orford is the last high profile name they havn`t tried yet hence me saying he may get a chance in 2009 for NSW, lets face it if the likes of Finch and Gower can get a look in then Orford deserves his chance. Maybe its a Lee Briers type thing where the selectors don`t like him for whatever the reasons are as i`m amazed he hasn`t been tried yet considering what NSW have tried and failed with already.

gould really doesn't rate him, as monkeygob said before, if the likes of brett finch are getting picked when they're in need, it's a really slap in the kisser.

He's played some great RL over ten years and not got a sniff. It's a bit like John Ferguson's career, a couple of appearances when he was the best winger, by far, for ten years.

I could see Chris Sandow getting a go before Orford, if he chooses NSW that is.

Yes, help yourself.

I heard you are the silent multi-millionaire partner in the musical instrument empire. Is this the true?

Orford hasn't been part of Warrington since we found out the Casuals frequent one of the watering holes in the area

Wouldn't suit your recruitment policy.
