Damn NSW will have a really nice looking backline in a few years if they play their cards right. Bird and Aitken in the centers too.
It bodes well for the Kangaroos but QLD might have a job on their hands come origin time.
His experience will see him in the starting lineup as we start the season I think. He might not have the same youthful exuberance as he once did but he is still solid and bloody fast too. I would be very surprised if in Round 1 the backline wasn't Boyd, Oates, Kahu, Roberts, Mead. With Opacic...
I reckon that goes the other way too. Plenty of wingers who have delusions of grandeur and think they can cut it at fullback or five-eighth.
I'm looking at you Josh Hoffman.
