More likely. Wouldnt be surprised though if he impresses in training this week and plays some part on Friday.

I never said he had been sat on his backside, but he hasn't played any competitive rugby for months, has only ever played 1 game at NRL level (that's not exactly a wealth of experience), the team has started well and doesn't require to many changes at present. Plus Agar all but said on radio last night that he'll be playing reserve team rugby until he's up to speed. He won't be playing next week or the one after that.

How about Maloney....will know the drills and will be keen to get a game.

Agreed, I would have thought he would be higher up the pecking order at this moment in time for the reasons you have given, however he needs a run out as well. Have the reserves got any games lined up?

did anyone else actually watch big Sam in the world cup???
This lad will be a HUGE star for us !!
Get him on the pitch he will rattle teeth all over the place, I can visualise one world cup tackle already!! if he can do half of that in SL we have bought a humdinger trust me..
look back on the matches guys .... he is awesome never mind all this needs time and pecking order garbage!!

That statement is waiting to be shot down if he doesn't live upto what you have just said. Look what happend to hutch!

Great to hear that.
Think we are a better team when whiting plays.

I'm really surprised to hear we have any injuries, could of sworn i heard justine on the oval ball last night, replying to gollum asking if they had any injuries, saying......"we won you dont get injuries when you win" maybe he is this super human after all
