Why does Brett Firman always get picked ahead of Brent McConnell? This guy simply can't play, I don't know why they've picked him again this week for the game against the sharks in the absence of Thurston. McConnell's been a great player for the young guns over the last 2 years. Firman's nowhere near up to NRL standard, and anyone who watched the young guns play last week would agree that McConnell was the much more dominant halve. Surely McConnell deserves a chance to shine in NRL, and if he doesn't soon, he'll probably look elsewhere for an opportunity, which would be a shame, because i think he's the answer to our halves situation. I'd have him at halfback with JT at 5/8.
