Observations:

1. Anthony Milford is the best young talent in the NRL bar no one. Wow. I can not wait to see this kid in a Broncos jersey.
2. Johnathan Thurston is The Master. Defensively just gutsy. Attacking? Genius.
3. James Taumalolo is a beast.

Canberra are responding to Stuart's passion just as the Eels did in R1 in 2013. The problem with Stuart coached teams is that they soon lose interest in the manic coach. Time will tell though plenty to like about this young Raiders team. It's just a shame they don't have a Hasler, Bellamy or Bennett at the helm.

Does someone want to tell him ^

Based on what I've seen over the last season and the first couple of games this year, I'd be very tempted to run Barba at Five-Eighth for the rest of this season with Hoffman at fullback, then piss Hoffman off to the Bulldogs and slot the Milf in at Fullback next season.

Yeah that's how I see it also...

Give Barba and Hunt time to gel as a halves pairing... Give Hoffman the spot he wants... For the season anyway...

3. If James Taumalolo is playing like this come Origin time, good luck NSW in handling Papali AND Taumalolo.

My bad. I got it wrong there by only a slight margin. When has that stopped QLD from claiming a Kiwi before ;-) I'm a little behind. It was Mal TRYING to poach Taumalolo for QLD.

Cheers and good news for NSW haha
