BARNES OUT
He's one of those made for Origin players IMO. Has so much fire in him, you know he's going to throw everything he has at QLD, including a few fists if it comes to that. If a punch up started I could see Brett White in the foetal position sucking his thumb.

Haha. So true. White is a bit of a baby.

Talk of Matt King taking up a $600000 a year deal to play Super League next year.

Fair enough really.

BTW how good is Bayonne and would have a decent chance of playing for Italy if he goes alright?
Not one of the very top French clubs, think they've missed out on Europe this year. If he goes ok he's got every chance for mine; Italy always in need of some extra quality. Be interesting to see where he plays tho.

Jesus. Hull KR mentioned as one of the possible destinations. :laugh:

I'm pissed off. Reason

He's an awesome bloke, but he makes stupid mistakes. I play cricket with him and he's a great guy to be around.

I rate Clinton, reckon he's pretty good. At the moment Petero is better than him, but in 4 years time it'll be the other way around.

**** soooo typical Knights, letting in 2 soft tries (the 1st Asotasi one, and the intercept) which again cost us the game. Luke Walsh is gun, imo he'll be NSW halfback next season in Origin unless Kimmorley goes off in game 3, magnificent ball player.

Haha i would have thought it might take Walsh more then 5 games to become overated, but i guess his already been hit with the curse of the next Johns. First 20 games, any half decent performance this guy is going to be the next big thing. Next 20 games people will expect him to win you games with every touch. After that people will give up and figure out that his just going to be good first grader.

He might play Orgin, but i'll be very suprised if his anything special at that level.

The funniest thing about it didn't take long for Mullen to be out done as the next big thing. Similar to the whole thing at the Roosters and next Fittler. First Finch, then Firman, then Soward, then Lewis, then Anasta, then Abbusson(sp) and now Pearse. Pearse looks the best of them, but like a lot of good young halves not sure if he can last the distance.

Exciting game between the Dragons and Manly, but geez Matt Orford's decision making left a lot to be desired IMO. If he had gone right in the last minute they probably would have scored, well they had a much better chance then he would have had when he tried to step inside. And in all likelyhood they could of scored had he not passed to Watmough (sic?) earlier in the set.
