He doesn't deserve it, but I hope they pick him.
Kearney to half and Vags to Captain and 5/8.
Scott will start, not Caine - Raper does not blood blokes with a debut from memory, tends to bring them off the bench.
If Sticky was coach he'd be no show. Muzza was the bloke who gave him his chance at the Mariners. dropped Goldthorpe the very next week after he kicked the winning field goal for the Blues in the Super League SOO. Put Goldy on the bench the next week and BK made his debut. BK NEVER let him down, so Muz would have fond memeories.
BUT...
the game has changed and any decent judge - and there is none better than Murray - can see you won't win a game on Kimmorely's kicking game any more.
Kurt Gidley, Sherwin, then BK and Finch neck and neck.
Barrett will get a call also I'd say.
Johns is WAAAY too smart to go in without his buddy Buderus. he knows they'll struggle and he ain't going to be part of a losing side in Sydney. he will sit this one out and wait for the call for the 2nd one to be the saviour.
Won't it be fun to see a repeat of last year. Noddy gets picked, the Blues lose, Noddy gets punted and we get stuck with an angry gnome for the next 10 rounds as we tumble down the table.
