Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2425761, member: 1764"] Ah, sorry, misunderstood. You're quite right, he thoroughly deserved his selections pre-injury, and he came into his own when he played five-eighth and Kevvie moved to halfback and Ben Walker moved to left right out. In fairness, when he returned in 2003, despite his poor form, we had very few alternatives. Prince was sidelined. None of the junior/Q Cup halves were really stepping up. He didn't, however, deserve his Origin selections that year. That was poor, and you could argue there was some nepotism there (as much as I hate to cast any aspersions on Bennett's integrity). Mind you, names of alternative halves aren't exactly jumping out at me that were available in 2003. Thurston was still in and out of the Bulldogs side. Prince still injured. Lockyer still fullback. Chris Sheppard was the one people were talking about but he, with hindsight, wasn't much better than Ikin in reality. [/QUOTE]
