awesome if bird is in the centres, hopefully right centre

Fkn oath. Bird and Gagan on the right is a pretty powerful duo to go with for the future out wide on the right.

The potential for our back line to be top 5 in the league is there, I just don't have the faith we will develop them correctly. Praying we do though.

Nail on the head.

Top 5 backline? They won't be with our bottom 8 forward pack and bottom 16 half

Obviously someone rates Gutherson and Mamo higher. McDonald was a very fair selection. Holmes is also a year younger than those three.

Scored 2 out of the 3 Tries for Australia in the Juniors.

Good work Holmes. A very good prospect for next year.

yep good outing for Holmes. Even though they lost, and it was 20s, its good to see even on the wing, which isnt a preferred position he is really thriving.

How did Bird go? Only got a quick glimpse of this game when I walked into the sports bar at the casino.

Really? He looked alright to me. Bent the line well and held the ball up nicely for Holmes first try. Watching footage of those two celebrating together warmed my otherwise currently cold shark heart I have to say.
