"This game is more like touch footy than it's ever been. If you're gassed and the other side isn't you'll get pumped. That's precisely what happened last night. When you're struggling to breathe after defending 20 tackles in a row you can do nothing…"
"The nrl are more corrupted than what I thought they were.

We don't have the biggest junior nursery in the comp at all. Canberra, Brisbane, Newcastle have a lot more than us and NZ has an entire country to pick their local juniors from.
Well we developed Trent Hodkinson but let him go. We also developed Albert Kelly but he didn't have his screwed on properly. We developed Tim Smith but he had mental problems. There's 3 that I can quickly think of that were in our system for a while. Roosters developed Pearce and? Dogs developed Thurston but let him go, after that who have they developed that is a star half? Where's Penrith's? They've had to bring in Soward and brought back Wallace after his prime. Even now their back-up half Isaac John wasn't part of their system.
There aren't too many star halves running around.
Your asking for a naturally creative 80 minute half who can defend.
Most halves have that natural creativity trained out of them, for the sake of percentage play, by the time they are sixteen.
The only natural creative half in the NRL is Jonathon Thurston.
