100% Wigan is 100% right about Jack Hughes. In my opinion, the same - only more so - applies to Ryan Hampshire. He and George Williams have been excellent together all through the junior ranks and internationals. They have never had a proper chance to partner at first-team level, and with good coaching they could have been the new Edwards and Gregory.

I watched the Storm v Sharks this morning. Very enjoyable.
I think the thing I enjoy the most about the Aussie is that there is no ing about at the play the ball. Players don't look for free kicks every time they get tackled whereas in our game every team has a JC impersonator at every tackle.
Might just sign up for the play offs.

Haven't seen the Sharks game yet. They sure recruited well for this season. I am a big fan of Maloney, I think he is a top, top half, always liked him at the Warriors. Brave, skillful, and a terrific goal-kicker to boot! It looks like they really be going places this year.

I'm saying all that not knowing the result. Fortunately NRL results are easy enough to avoid in the UK!

I won't spoil it for you then but there was a nice touch from Blake Green. It just made me realise what a decent player we had and how much we need someone like him.

I've seen it now! I was going to remark how Green put in another typically solid display, showing he's very comfortable playing at the highest levels of the NRL. Sadly, Maloney, and his team, didn't have the happiest of days! Still a good contest, though I find the Storm easier to admire than like.

Isn't Blake Green off to Manly next year? I wonder why he can't seem to settle at a club for long.
