Sharks - Thought long and hard about it but I feel Cronulla's strength up front will give them the edge over us. Their record over us in recent years has been very good as well winning 4 of the last 5 and they only lost once in the Shire last year. Expecting a very tight struggle tonight
Storm...
I've got that book, it's a very good read indeed. Really like how they added in the British players as well, there were some great players in GB back in the day and I found it very fascinating to read about the blokes who died on the Western Front in the war.
Feeling a bit more confident without Holmes in the Sharks team, I was expecting him to make big meters from fullback and they will miss that. I'm still a bit concerned up front as I felt our forwards were underwhelming in the UK and Fifita, Gallen, Prior (depending which Prior turns up) and...
If he is mentally well and has all of his personal shit behind him get him here right now. He is such a good player and would be a great guy for Milford to learn off.
Bennett could be the guy that can get Foran turned on mentally so it's a risk worth taking.
Crazy to think 4 years ago people thought Smith's recall was a joke and hammered selectors. Another Blue getting a free ride, nothing but hype blah blah. Look at him now.
Superb captains knock
Smith is as good as always. Renshaw has really become a favourite of mine, perfect partner for Warner and is really digging in here and did very well here in Australia. Hard to believe the selectors were considering dropping him.
I can't help but think that the papers just want to space and someone to deliver more quotes than phone book so they just chase up former players like Tallis because they know what they are going to say and they will get people taking.
