I suspect a few teams from Qld cup or NSW cup would do well. PNG, Newtown Jets, North Sydney Bears. They would prepare in advance for months as it would be close to the highlight of the season and a platform for great old clubs to be relevant again.
Basically punt Storm, Panthers and any other club that doesn't want to be there enough to send a good squad and give these clubs a go.
We should have sent newton instead of a finalist and a semi finalist who lost on the bell to roosters kids Lol @t-goon

Win or lose. So happy to see how far Waqa Blake has come. So many people wrote him off after his rookie season. But those who saw him dominate the lower grades knew it was only a matter of time before he proved himself at higher levels.

He looks so fit. Fast. God i hope he can kick on from where he left off in 2016.

Anyone who gets compared to Inglis is going to cop massive amounts of shit, most people who've followed the game for more than a few years know it can take a while for hyped youngsters to become consistent first graders.

Blakes problem was his handling, otherwise he is big, fast with great footwork. Awesome mix.
True. Handling can be improved upon. Players cant be coached to be as freakish in physical ability as some of the luckier players.

He's compared to Inglis for good reason. He will never reach his heights. But he has that same freakish ability.
