Anyone who thinks Ennis is tough and origin type hooker is kidding themselves, the bloke is a cowardly turnstyle who has never landed one. I mean imagine NSW go in with Watmough, Gallen, Bird and Ennis, the penalty count will be 10-1

Well, Queensland finally have to deal with a proper series injury.
Tim Grant, what the f**k? He wouldn't make most first grade sides, let alone origin.
Grant still has a long way to go. He's carrying himself off the back of a very effective Penrith pack at this stage, but maybe if he gets some good, consistent performances over the rest of this year and maybe some of next as well I guess he'd be alright. Still not overly sold on him, doesn't have enough grunt and impact for mine.
Him aside, we have some quality young props coming through as well.
Granted (excuse the pun) you tend to watch your own thru rose coloured glasses but take it from me Tim Grant will develop in a NSW version of Petero. He will continue to grow and develop and in a couple of seasons he will be the best front rower in the game. I'm not one for putting wraps on kids, far from it, but I have watched Tim Grant over the course of past five years and trust me he is something special in the making.
