See how JT goes after the scans....... this is same guy who amazingly made a comeback from shoulder surgery at the beginning of the season.

Agree to Nutley back to the 2nd Row, bench, or even reserve grade. Cross our fingers Bird has a blinder on Friday so he will be brimming with confidence.

Noddy won't be dropped, nor will he be throwing matches despite his contract negotiations. I think 70-80% of the noddy saga is courtesy of the media.

Go the Sharkies on Sunday!

Cronk has the advantage of combinations with all the Melbourne players in the squad.

Yeah guys, Ricky isn't as silly as all that. Of course Prince is the form halfback but we're 24 hours away from a Test match. How is the poor fellow supposed to know all the drills and work up a combination in that short period of time. It makes sense for Cronk to play - he has the combination with Slater and Cam Smith and he also played with Bird in the last Test against the Kiwis, so the combinations and plays are there.
I was listening to all the half brain callers calling in to Gibbsy and Brandy tonight crying foul over Prince. Some of these guys just don't have anything between the ears. If they stopped to think, then they might get it.

Ricky did the right thing and also did the right thing by calling Prince to let him know. Even the Titans CEO Michael Searle acknowledged this and said it made sense. For God sakes guys John Cartright, the Titans coach is the assistant coach of the Aussies - he would have been in on it too!

"The phones ran hot straight away with one of the first bets being $5,000 on the Sharks at the plus four points handicap," said Sportingbet's chief executive Michael Sullivan.

they would have picked Cronk because he was part of that 58-0 win last year nad has experience playing with Bird, Prince has never played with Bird (I'm sure)
