also why the **** does lewis contiune to miss? he missed game 1 last year iirc and he's missing again. i mean surely he isn't any less match fit than dugan?!

He's been out most of this year, but as you said that didn't hinder Dugan. Came back on Friday and was awesome, best on the field after Gordon. I'd say it's because he's playing for a poor team unlike Creagh/Scott, but Jennings is in there over Idris, so honestly I have NFI.

Apparently Uate played for Fiji in October 09 so isn't eligible until October this year for NSW.

Hope that's not the case love watching him play.

Ricky has the team he wanted, and at least he's explained his reasons. Hope he takes ownership of it.

Ricky commenting on Hayne playing wing:

"But that would have been unfair to put one of them in a new position"

Well, he got NSW player of the series in that position. I don't want to bang on about it, but NSW simply don't have the luxury of excluding a player of Hayne's calibre. Moreover, if the Origin jersey means so much to Stuart, he'll work with Hayne even though they reportedly don't get along.

Anyway, watch Stuart turn against the NSW halves if QLD win the first game. No halfback is ever good enough for him.

Well Sticky was one of the ATG's at halfback, so that's probably why no halfback is good enough for him. :p

Geez if that's the case that's incredibly poor, even for us. Uate's been groomed for a while. He didn't play for them last year, played for Country etc. For NSW to have not checked the rules properly would be ridiculous.

:laugh: Only if we win.

Should have been fired when he said he'd be happy to win one game. He better not be selling the team the idea that an honorable loss will be good enough.

Never under estimate the stupidity of sports administrators :ph34r:

Anyway, should just play him. Be the ultimate irony if Queensland kicked up a stink about it. I don't think they'll be too worried though.

You'd think being an ATG would be an advantage when developing a halfback. Apparently not.

Ricky was apparently on with Jonesy this morning.Jonesy said what a great story Soward was after he was dumped by the Roosters.

Ricky was coaching then, of course.

/awkward.

Brett Firman, Josh Lewis and Brett Seymour some of the other halfback "talent" he's groomed. In the case of Seymour he ditched Kimmorley for the guy.

Haha, might go for a walk down past the Toaster at lunch. Word is Jonesy is having Macquarie Street renamed "Strugle Street".
