| Quote: Rhinofan "Mr Hetherington, being very astute, decided early on that the spine of the team was critical and has a full back, stand-off, scrum-half, loose forward, hooker on long term deals. The rest have been carefully fitted in around that. Fitted-in meaning to keep or to let go when neccessary to maintain the integrity and performance of the entire team.'"

Wouldn't have expected it at the time of his signing either.
Back then he seemed a freakishly gifted player but there were plenty of doubts over his commitment to the game from when he was cut by the Warriors. Though it looks more like that said more about their management at the time than the big fella. |

there was a time when he looked like it wouldn't work out.
in 2005/2006 smith was using him up the middle as a battering ram, he looked fat, and had stupid hair
Since then he's stepped it up a few gears |

Anyone who doesn't watch rugby league is not a real person. He's a cow's hoof, an ethnic or comes from Melbourne.

I don't think that it is a coincidence that the centre(s) and wingers playing outside Ali have done well - usually better than the ones on the other side of the field.
I am hoping that Greg Eastwood might offer a second creative outlet and even up our attack - especially if Brett Delaney is more defensive than attack minded - as per some of the descriptions of his time in the Titans - he might need some spark on his inside shoulder.

I dont think so because he's recently played for Samoa which I think means you cant play for another international side for another 2 years. |

If Eastwood lives up to his potential having him and Ali on the pitch at the same time will be spectacle worth watching.

Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

Yup with JJB and Ablett to do the hard work in the opening 25 mins and Eastwood and Ali to come on to attack the tiring defences |

That’s exactly what I had in mind, both of them coming off the bench as impact players for a tiring defence.
The little I’ve seen of Eastwood he’s always come off the bench and made an instant impact, I expect Bluey to play him in much the same way. |
