Hunt still hasnt made himself available, its pretty silly though, NZ are saying they will wait for Hunt to go to them first which doesnt make sense, they should be pressuring him to play for them...

Yeah true... if Hunt doesn't play the y should postpone the Test until Marshall is fit lol. Otherwise it will just be a waste of time.

to be fair its going to be asking a lot of Hunt to move him to the halves for a test, hes barely played there and expecting him to be just as good there as he is at fullback is a bit unfair on him. Ive got no doubt he'll handle it well enough but i cant see him running a side yet...

 

[Mister Wright]

Yeah we are gone.. and for 1 reason... Not that Marshall is out(I believe we could still make the semis without him), but the fact that Prince is playing like a busted a$$...

His mind is on the Gold Coast, and IMO is just going through the motions....

The question also now needs to be asked what will happen to poor Benji.. Its a very sad day.. He works so hard to get back and they just happen time and time again...

Some players can have all the skill and talent in the world to be great NRL players but just don't have the bodies to handle the week to week grind of the NRL. It is sad, but it has happened many times before.

To be honest, he has to prove himself at fullback first. Obviously you must have a heap of talent to have made his debut at the age of 17. However, he hasn't really shown that he is a top quality player yet. He's good but still has a few areas of his game that he has to work on. A player of the future for sure though.

 

[Blewy]

I think he'll get a couple of weeks, depending on his record, which has been ok since he come to the tigers, that could be what minimises it a little, but he deserves it..

His attitude has been poor and tbh he has always had a dirty streak about him when we play the cowboys.. last year in the semi when we won by 50 he was stiring alot of crap and was lucky to get away with a couple of incidents in that game to..

Thurston has to be picked ahead of Lockyer for the Anzac Test if the selectors are fair dinkum.

Yeah I hear what you and Burkey are saying, but what other options do we have?

Will be watching this guy from Parra, but Hunt is a lot better option then Ropati, Hohaia, Leuluai or Tony

Neither can I, which says something about the selectors.

Yeah I think he will be on the bench for Parra and will probably play hooker, he can play halfback though.

I thought he would play 5/8 and Morris play hooker.

Knights 46-0 over the Dragons, its fair to say i didnt see that coming... still 15 to go as well...
Sharks have come from 18 down to level it at 18all and coming home strong...

 

[oz_fan]

Rooster leading 28 - 24. 6 and a half minutes to go.

 

[Simon]

doesnt get any better for the Dragons though

 

[Simon]

doesnt get any better for the Dragons though

and finally they score, a good try too...

Yeah, Lockyer hasn't impressed me that much this season yet, plenty of time to go though I guess.

The test selections are generally a joke as far as form goes so...Lockyer it is I'd say. I can't believe there was discussion about him going to fullback and them kicking Minichello onto the wing...

[alternative]
