Awesome.

I hope to one day get to a soo game in blues territory. The only ones I've been to have been at suncorp stadium (about 3)... looking all sky blue in a sea of dumb.

So enjoy! 🙂

They are new positions since I played. Can you please explain where the "middle players" pack into a scrum?

Basically, the idea is that Props and locks are the same thing and play in the middle of the field and your back rowers are edge players. So no matter what number you have on your back you are either middle or Edge.

I'm worried about Prior being the new prop.

Then get out there again on Sunday HM.
Bring us home the bacon.
Queensland will be much stronger and I've heard too many 'experts' in the media counting NSW chickens.

Again...

I would like to see Vaughan start. I think Prior will be good defensively, I just don't think he will worry the QLD pack as much as Vaughan would.

It's weird you know. NSW have a very exciting squad, we genuinely have an opportunity to give it to those bastards yet I'm somewhat unenthused. I think it's the combination of dreadful referreeing of games this year making it almost unwatchable and our boys playing like rubbish. Hopefully I fire up on Sunday. Maybe. Go Blues!

I'm still thinking about it, but it's just so cold for we oldies 😳

So, just so I get this straight; Jake is a lock that plays as a prop in the middle of the field?
That means we'll never again see great locks like Beaver and Ron Coote making spectacular cover-tackles on runaway backs.
How sad.

Napa completed the team's captain's run on Saturday and will take the field after appearing to recover from his syndesmosis injury, with Storm prop Tim Glasby to be the team's 18th man.

Star fullback Billy Slater has also been given the green light to play after overcoming his hamstring injury.

NSW are set to be 1-17 with five-eighth James Maloney getting through training with flying colours after overcoming the sciatic nerve issue in his back from Penrith's loss last weekend.

 

[The Who]

If Napa can recover from his crippling ankle injury in two weeks how many weeks before Uate returns from a similar injury?
Somehow our injuries seem to be a lot more severe than other clubs.

But Napa is returning into a spectacular, whereas Uate is playing in a dejected side and is already disconnected from Manly 😕
