O/T - Wayne Bennett is flexing his new Newcastle Knights muscles with the signing of Kade Snowden and alleged signings of Darius Boyd & Nate Myles with Danny Buderus also being linked and Cory Paterson, Isaac De Gois and Shannon McDonnell reportedly on their way out.

i thought i was on the wrong thread and you were cheering for macaroons

which i am not that fond of

interesting that Fiji is now part of NSW.

He came through the Australian School system so he's eligible.

He moved from Fiji at 16, and has represented Fiji at international level.

I lived in Aus for a year when I was 16, does that mean Im eligible for SoO?

That Queensland team "line up" is frightning

Did you play for the Aussie Schoolboys? If so then yes, you can

Well i wasnt that good im afraid.

Im disappointed now that the reason im not lining up for the blues next week is because I was never any good and I can no longer blame it on the lottery of where i was born

He also went to school in Aus. If you had been any good and went to school over there you could have been a Green and Gold now

Bugger,

So close but yet so far away..........

Snowden is overrated - he is just flavour of the month, how Tolman can't get a game defies belief. Luke Lewis missing out is also an error as is Farah who offers significantly more variety than Ennis.

What I cannot understand is this idea that you need a certain type of player to play origin? you hear it from the likes of Gould and Warren all the time - they make it out to be a contest between super humans - anyone who has watched the last 3 or 4 can see it is anything but that.

Isn't Lewis just returning from injury & therefore has no form to go on?
Good player though when match fit.
