Shillington has named Orford the player to get the Raiders to the GF in 2011, First he has to fill campese's shoe's then get them to a position were there going to be able to compete in finals football. Campo and Orford are two totally different players, does the team change its game or does Offord try too fit in?.Unfortunatley Offord can't play the same style of league that Terry play's. Offord was ordinary when he left and the game has become faster,there was a shortage of quality halves when he played last.Now there's a few throughout the clubs.GOODLUCK WITH THAT RAIDERS.

I can only conclude that you are a typical league head who gets all his opinions from the telegraph.
Only a dope would describe a:
- premiership winning halfback
- dally M winner
- 200 games + 10 year veteran
as an epic fail.
Orford may not be the best halfback to ever grace our field, but he is a valuable half to any team lacking experience or leadership. He organizes a team to perfection and is a great exponent of the short ball. His defence is good for a half and he can also take over goal kicking duties.
I'd say that there are over 10 clubs in the NRL that would benefit greatly from his services, including your own Newcastle Knights.
