'13 | ALL STARS, Feb 9 | Indigenous 32-6 NRL | Suncorp

[Wizardman]

Some of the indigenous boys look set for very big years. Way too good.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

John Grant is such a merkin

Thought it was Leisure Suit Larry for a moment.

 

[bellyache]

All Stars centers and wingers can't tackle

Centre's? right side Uate and Nielson are up and in making Robertson look like an NRL player..

 

[Fingerbang]

So refreshing my anus

Got a date tonight, have you?

 

[Joker's Wild]

I don't think Reynolds has done anything to really push for the spot. But he is one year in, that simple. Why people are talking about him in a Blues jersey already is just from desperation

I agree with you, those picking him for NSW are just hoping he is a better option than Pearce

Sadly he is not

 

[bellyache]

Does Benji look a bit chubby or is it just me?

Cam Smith also..

 

[veggiepatch1959]

What a joke.

 

[natheel]

Well one thing I got out of the game is Reynolds is maybe a year out from rep footy

 

[Country Bronco]

I was at the game.Some Thoughts. I agree Nrl All Stars halves had a poor night. Reynolds was perhaps overawed by the occasion but will be better for experience. SKD and Uate were exposed for their defensive flaws. Barba will definately play for Queensland this year. Ryan James and Nathan Peats were surprisingly good. Indigenous pack held its own against more formidable opponent and its backline had too much class. Quarters don't work neither does other rule changes as it only confuses people. Highlight George Rose's shoulder charge.

 

[Parra Pride]

What's with the numbers on the shoulders?

Late reply, but I don't think anyone actually answered this, as far as I know the numbers on the shoulders reflect what number player they are for each respective side, for example, the first ever player to play fullback for the Allstars will always have the number 1 on their shoulder, while the second fullback would have 21 on his shoulder.

I think it's just the order picked. So the first person picked EVER wears 1 regardless of position. Anyone debuting this year would be up in the 30's.

I could be wrong.

 

[kdalymc]

Yeah I think it's like the cricket numbers they get on their hats yeah?
Except its a big stupid patch on their shoulder...

 

[Didgi]

Yep, it got answered in the telecast. Simply order picked.

Nah it's in what order they were picked for the side

Because smith and thurston both have 1 on their shoulders. As they were the first of their respective side. Jarryd hayne was number 20 (20th player picked for all stars)

Basically their cap number, just like in regular NRL sides... It's not a hard concept to understand

More.

 

[kdalymc]

How many more people wanna explain the numbers on shoulders...

It's interesting that you mention Peats.

Like Prince, I thought he got better as the game wore on but I really thought his stints at hooker exposed him a bit. Thought he threw the worst pass of the game as well - arguably the worst I've ever seen.

Think Souths need to use him exclusively as a ball playing backrow from now on.

Tamou threw the worst pass of the game, right out the back into an Indigenous players hands. Though I think it was Robinson who threw one jut as bad to Hayne which led to a try.

Peats is a good hooker, he was running a lot of the plays. Ultimately I can see him as one of our potential replacements for Crocker though

 

[Big Pete]

Ferguson actually.

Those pass choices were indeed horrible but Peats' delivery of the pass was abysmal. His service and running game from dummy half just isn't up to standard.
