Outstanding achievement Reed. Thoroughly deserved. So happy for him.
Not having him is going to hurt us more than most think. However, awesome for him, and so well deserved.
100%, but at least we actually have backup hookers this season. And we're playing Newcastle who will be without Ponga, Frizell and Daniel Saifiti.
Absolutely EE.
its hard not to be very happy for Reed such an honest and hard working player for us
good on him!
Great news for the kid, will become a better player for the experience
If that side runs out and it's played in Queensland, as is the current talk, then I can't see them losing.
Agree. I think that is one hell of a team that QLD have picked.
I don't understand why we are always favourites. It makes no sense. They always find a way. It just seems to mean more to them.
It's interesting that both coaches have gone with fairly workmanlike front rowers to start the match, leaving their impact guys on the bench.
I think NSW backline is their strength. It's stacked with speed and skill. Capewell is going to have an interesting night on that edge given he won't be up against Gutho this time around and Luai will be running at him.
Let's hope so, then that ridiculous Wally Fitler will be punted once and for all. The bloke is clearly an imbicile.
