every team has heaps

idris can be anything, easily another SBW.

dugan is getting a lot of publicity.

andrew fifita from the tigers.

locke and packer from the warriors, but they are going like busted

mortimer at parra or is he already?

broncos well may corey norman, they have a few

newcastle and uate is the one.

storm - tolman, nielson etc, they wont keep them

He'll never be half the player SBW was. But at least he is and forever will be a better player than Dane Laurie, who you told me was definitely the better prospect of the two.

daine laurie looked the goods.

lets see how idris develops after getting picked for origin tomorrow

I've been impressed with Matt Gillet from the Broncos. Great young player and it's only his first season in the NRL. Strong 2nd rower who's got plenty of tries in him, good at breaking the line and a good off-load too.
I've also been impressed with Scott Bolton from the Cowboys, i think it's his second year this season but this year he's a regular starter and i can see him playing for QLD in the next year or two.
There's loads that you could name, Dugan, Coote and Barba look the most exciting. Tolman, Fensom, Joel Thompson, Watts, Norman.

I told NSW fans to pick Jennings and Idris last year as the series was gone with the side they chose for game 1.

I see it is getting closer to fruition.



They still seem to be the point scoring chance most likely from the centre. You need to score some points against Queensland. The Maroons certainly will.

the nsw selectors can get stuffed if they pick gidley over hayne at fullback

one big reason i stopped supporting nsw was the selectors

dead set idiots.

If Lyon plays five eighth nsw haven't got a hope

He would be better than Bird.

Although I dislike helping NSW...

If you want to have a backline with no room and no idea how to set up a proper attacking move, choose Bird at pivot.

tbf who else is there?

carney is useless, barretts form shows in where cronulla are on the table

id go bird at 6 myself, lyon in the centres and hayne fullback and gidley to miss out altogether

gidley is useless.

lyon is so good at centre.

I meant to say in this thread, one guy I have been very impressed with this year (other than players I have mentioned in previous threads - such as the likes of Dugan) is Ben Farrar, the young fullback at Manly.

He has had mighty boots to fill with Stewart out for the year and has played wonderfully well for the Sea Eagles.

Regrettably, one of the idiots on Fox also mentioned him this evening. It is still a fair call.

hes kept young william hopoate out of first grade and yeah they havent missed stewart have they?

Great talent Farrar...

Bird at stand off may well be aimed at targeting Lockyer. He was really a passenger in Origin last year, he needs to up his performances considerably to keep his spot fornext season IMO.

How is either Lockyer or Bird a "future star"?
