I went through all pairings the NRL and despite wearing blue and gold shades, I really can't see a better pairing in the league.
Roosters: Keary - ?
Raiders: Sezar- Wighton
Bunnies: Reynolds- Walker
Storm: Hughes- Munster
Raiders: Nikorima- Green
Sharks: Moylan- Townsend
Manly: DCE- Walker
Panthers: Cleary - Luai
Tigers: Benji- Brooks
Dragons: Norman - Hunt
Dogs: Foran- Lewis
Cowboys : Morgan - Asiata
Broncos: Turpin - Milford
Titans: Brimson - Jacks
Knights: Pearce - Lino

Not sure i’d say we have the best, but it’s between us, the Raiders, Bunnies, and Sharks.
It’s been a while since we’ve had some good settled halves and I’m glad it’s not the halves we have to worry about this upcoming year. Mitch had a great year (was Tim Smith the last time we had a dominant half?) Brown needs to develop a lot more, but he’s looking the goods!
Disagree with a few of your halves pairings, alot can change before the start of next season, talk of Cody Walker to the Titans could mean L. Mitchell could be off to the bunnies to play 5/8, Sezer is being shopped around after the Raiders signed Pommy half, Manly Cade Cust was killing it at 5/8 before getting injured, Harris-Tavita should start with Nikorima coming off the bench, Foran gone for God knows how long, Asiata won't stay at 5/8, even the Broncos don't know who their halves will be next year.
But you are right in saying Moses and Brown are the best halves combo in the comp.
Roosters: Keary - Flanagan
Sharks: Townsend - Johnson
Cowboys: Morgan - Clifford
Dogs: Lewis - Marshall-King ( Foran gone for at least first 3 months )
Raiders: Pommy half - Whighton ( Sezer gone )
Warriors: Green - CHT
Titans: Taylor - Roberts
Eagles: DCE - Cust
Are you taking the piss? Not perfect sure, but poor man's Tim Smith!! Too many brown ones mate. Just stick to abusing fellow members ... stay away from anything related to football.
No. It's OK. I appreciate the Fongs post. We don't have to agree. I put the blog up for arguments sake.
He is right about somethings that MM has to fine tune to go the rep level and to a state when he can decide games with his running and passing. When it comes to world class half backs Mitch was at 6 in 2018, move up to an 8 in 2019. Still has work to do to get to 10.
According to NRL.com he had 25 try assists, 12 Line Break assists, 104 Line engagements, 57 Tackle Breaks, 62.2 running metres per game, 10 offloads.
Those numbers suggest his running game is very good and 12 Line Break Assists, he didn't get those with kicks, suggest that his ballplaying skills are at a very acceptable standard.
Shhhhhhhh. No one cares for the opinions of a Roosters supporter.
I'm glad you said supporter, not supporters !!!!
Whether they are the best in the league is purely subjective, but what we can say definitively is that it is the best combination we've had since at least Taylor & Buettner in 01, maybe the best pair we've had since Sterlo & Kenny. Most important of all they are young and settled with plenty of time to grow together.
Brown remains unsigned for 2021 and beyond so I wouldn't call him settled just yet. There are plenty of clubs clearing cap space at the moment and Brown would be a prime target.
I meant settled in the sense that we know who our halves will be going in to the season, there is no debating it. As for beyond 2021, the club will be working on locking him up I've no doubt.
