Have you got a brother called Bunniesman ?
You're about as smart as him .
& have you worked out who leads the team out onto the field .?

You also have to remember that DCE turned his back for Manly as well, which would have contributed to the boos.
manly struggle to fill out their own stadium let alone have fans in another state :lol:
or are we saying the bronco's can't make noise at their own stadium?

Yes I agree, he deserves another go as last time his prep wasn't the best and word is that Cronk wasn't as helpful as he could be.Going with Daly was the right call.
He is a gun player in very good form, has been in and around origin for a few years now and gets to play his first game as starting halfback whilst fully fit next Wednesday.
It would have been very NSW-like to scrap him.
State of Origin 2015: Billy Slater to play Game II in what could be final match of 2015 season
Staff writers FOX SPORTS June 10, 2015 6:41PM
QUEENSLAND fullback Billy Slater will play in Origin II next Wednesday night despite a left shoulder injury but that could be his last match of the season.
Although Darius Boyd trained at fullback on Wednesday, Slater is expected to wear the No. 1 jersey for the Maroons before going under the knife to repair his chronic shoulder complaint.
Triple M’s Ben Dobbin told NRL360 on Wednesday that the Melbourne star will run out onto the MCG on June 17, however the Origin match is set to be the last game he plays in 2015.
“Slater will play game two of State of Origin this year but it could be his last game of the season,” Dobbin said. “His shoulder is absolutely no good.
“If he makes it through Game Two I don’t believe that he will take his place at the Melbourne Storm for the remainder of the season.
“If I was Laurie Daley and the coaching staff, who would you be targeting front and centre? Billy Slater.”
Slater was sidelined for a month and missed the ANZAC Test after being crunched in a tackle by Warriors winger Manu Vatuvei while playing for the Storm in early April.
It was bad luck for Slater, who underwent reconstruction surgery on his other shoulder in the off-season.
Slater, whose Storm contract ends this year, has missed the last two games for his club but had hoped to make it through the season with surgery to follow afterwards.
Maroons medical staff are keeping a close eye on Slater, who is believed to be having trouble sleeping due to the pain of the injury.
Interesting that Boyd is covering at Fullback. They must want to keep the strong combo of Hodges and Chambers together on the right edge.
