Problem with old school forwards becoming coaches is that the game no longer requires old school forwards.

Congrats to chic it's good for him to know how close he is

I agree Dan and I would love to see him come on from the bench. I hate to be disloyal but I wouldn't have Gift starting, but I am sure he could prove me completely wrong. Creagh would have got my starting nod and he may replace Gallen at lock. What happened to Justin Poore - is he playing?

  Two players down and he's still no in the 17.  He's a long way back in the pecking order really.

chick chick boom!

 

[Dan]

neither specifically in his position. Being 3rd in line means he is closer than most.

Closer than Bird I suppose.  I suppose Kite could console him about what it's like to play for Australia and miss out for NSW in the same year.  Says it all about the importance of SOO vs Test Football really.
