Teams V Tigers

True KE.

And its also fair to say that the sole way to assess if a player from lower ranks can be of NRL standard is for him to play in an NRL game. No escaping that.

No matter how bad Orford plays, I still have to laugh at the calls of putting Hodkinson into the side, when people have not even seen the kid play !!!

Is a HUGE step up from any level, that is shown by Hunt from Brisbane, Under 20s POTY last season, looks terrible so far in NRL. Put Ben Barba in a similar category

I've seen him play a few games this year and he's a work in progress but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders and a good kicking game and he will an NRL quality 1/2, I still think as I mentioned when we where on the losing streak that Orford should have gone to 6 and T.H to seven, Lyon and Matai in the centres - but it's to late for that now and you wouldn't make those decisions at this time of year - Orford needs to be on the field as where not strong enough to have him running round in the QLD cup but he should be used more like Brett Finch @ Melbourne from 5/8. Also keep in mind T.H got picked as the 1/2 for the QLD residence team Vs NSW this year and while it may not be NRL that puts him as the best half in the QLD cup, that’s a pretty big wrap and a bigger honour / Higher level than the under 20's kid you mentioned.

Orford’s failed continually on the big stage.
