Official Blayke Brailey

Grant was never going to be dropped out of the squad, but there was talk that they'd bring a specialist hooker as backup. He's gone ahead of Robson anyway. Let's see what Walters does.

I didnt see any talk about bringing a specialist. All the talk ive seen is about using a utility.

I did. Plenty of radio programs were speaking about it.

Oh fair enough. I still think it’ll be one specialist and utilities though.

Yeah let's see what they do. That's the only reason his name was thrown up, although he can play in halves too as shown against Melbourne. Who knows, they might go with someone like Watson who can cover a variety of roles.

He more defended in the halves than played as a half

Yeah true.

It was a strange game. Maybe the runners weren’t in the expected place. Think we will have him during Origin period for another year at least

What, lying on the ground to receive the ball?

Tunnelling under the oppositions frontline!

Parra can have the Wall, Sharks have the Tunnel!

His first loss as skipper.

Sack him!

Good, deserves it, should be the NSW hooker next year

I am very pleasantly surprised, I really thought they’d go with a utility as rumoured. Excellent for Blayke.

Yeah same
Obviously his form warranted it but I do also wonder if the threat of England played a part….

A great reward for his season!

 

[HaroldBishop]

Really happy for him, thoroughly deserved. If he keeps this form up next year it would be criminal if he's not selected for NSW.

Robson will be at the Roosters, so he'll have his work cut out for him. I agree though.

Well its always hard to oust an incumbent if they’re playing well, he’ll probably also have to hope Robson starts slow for the Roosters.

The incumbent was not a winner though.

I think Robson will have to hope Brailey has a slow start.
