He is not that safe defensively. Good game last night but he was up against Meaney who blitzed him for a try in the first half. Yes, Meaney blitzed someone.
Better form than someone who hasn’t played in a month?
At the start of the season I'd have taken Ponga over Walsh but right now there's not many players at all you'd take over Walsh. His problem was always there were plenty of rocks to go with the diamonds but the second half of the season in particular he's gotten most of the former out of his game.
I found it interesting that Walsh mentioned he hadn’t been drinking all year. I think it’s a huge advantage to be able to do that. Not only physically but it puts you in a focused mindset.
You don't know? lol, read less stats and watch more footy then I reckon. Shibs had a ripper year and was selected on recency bias and sure, he's in good form. This happens all the time, it's completely unremarkable. I don't even hate form selections, I wish NSW would select more form players over the years tbh.
Its the PM 13 mate, they are notorious for picking young kids with potential and sometimes just out and out reserve graders. Theyve picked Schneider for example
Fair play to Shiba. He’s had a good year and earned his Grand Final ring. His spot in the Kangaroos squad is due to Kevvie Walters’ QLD bias and stupidity more than anything else though. He’s about 1/3 of the player Best is.
