No polish.

Would Hunt have had the magic carpet ride he's had if his name was John Smith?

The NRL are racists, they are only selecting Hunt because he's not white. :lol:

Anthony Mundine, haha. How many non whites are in the the team these days, would have to be half a dozen wouldnt it. Poor old Mundine and Blacklock.

 

[Matabele]

Plenty of Polynesians. How many indigenous blokes?

 

[Garts]

Inglis, thats it.

 

[Fluffy]

not many good ones out there right now

 

[The Wheel]

Maybe that is why Bowen & Nathan Merritt didn't get selected

 

[Matabele]

Speaking of black fellas. Interesting to see the Eels finally getting a bit of game time for all those dollars they shelled out for Cannings in 2003!

 

[The Wheel]

Actually Thurston would have a dash of Aboriginal in him looking at his photo in todays telegraph

Actually I read somewhere that his contract is up at the end of the season it will be interesting to see if the re sign him.

 

[DSM5]

I've heard that Cannings won't be there next year.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

On the Hunt v Stewart debate, Stewart has him in every area except one, and that is the kick return. If Stewart had Hunts kick return he would be 1 of the great fullbacks

 

[The Wheel]

Good point KE - Hunt is a lot bigger/heavier than Brett

 

[Matabele]

You have to catch the ball first to make a decent kick return. Hunt is streaky in that category at best.

 

[Matabele]

Interesting to see if our team will run out as named on Friday night. If this be the case it means the following:

1. Ballin has stitched up the dummy half role for good.
2. We will lose Burns if Monaghan continues to start at 6 ahead of him.

 

[Nutzcraw]

I'm not worried about losing both Burns and Monaghan.

I'd prefer Stewart, Robbo, Bell, Matai, Hicks, Lyon and Orford with Ballin at 9

over

Stewart, Robbo, Bell, Lyon, Hicks, Burns, Orford and Mona's at 9.

 

[SilentBob]

Bell is almost 31 now with a year to go on his contract, something to consider when thinking for the future.

 

[Matabele]

Assume we lose both Burns and Monaghan and the Lyon experiment doesn't work.

Who will be our 5/8th and bench utility?

Groom?

 

[The Wheel]

Huge question, I think they won't let Burns go if Monas is offloaded next seaosn

 

[fLIP]

We still need a backup half.

There's Halden, we all know he's not a center but he could be an adequate replacement. However we must make retaining burns a priority IMO.

Playing Matai in a lock position over willow would be the go for me.

 

[Fluffy]

Dont forget the rumour about Blake Green from Parra, of we lose both monas and burns his offer will increase im sure.

If monas goes then i expect burns to stay

I watched that Blake Green play the other week off the bench for Parra and while it was just the one game he did nothing whatso ever to impress me
