Interesting article, Alexander’s point is an interesting one about the runs that he takes. There is so much that goes into a complete performance, but media and fans have gone down the USA route with numbers meaning everything

I always like the old Navjot Sidhu line “stats are like miniskirts, what they show is great, but what they hide is vital”

May was live streaming last night and made the comment “you know the blues jersey I bought you, throw it in the bin”

Perhaps a wee insight into where he trips himself up with people
who cares. they are just dumb blokes. Its footy. They arent going to the moon. Just let him get on the field and see what he does. Daley makes things overcomplicated.

Joey would leave out Stephen Crichton, probably the best player on both sides of the ball in the comp, for Turbo who is perennially injured and doesn't play in the centres week to week.

Joey must be in touch with Gids again
The whole debate about the selection of the backline I have found hilarious at times. Even Gus during the week getting into Gallen for picking Tom on the wing “he hasn’t played there and he doesn’t play there”, he was on the wing for NSW in his first series or 2, and dominated. And talking about needing to play people in their positions and in the same breath Latrell plays centre, as does Lomax week to week

Personally I hope they don’t pick him, if they do, he will nail it, but happy if he is lining up for Manly next week
