Luke Kelly should the 7 for an NRL team aka Souths. Not bidding his time, hoping something happens to Cooper. Im still baffled as to why he re-signed here tbh.

Widdop was always going to get 1st crack at 6, he was the annointed one.

that's good news! Hopefully tohu keeps up his good work and performing good and maybe we'll see him get a go in the top grade soon.

As for chambers I think he should already be in 1st grade. His been playing really good in Nsw cup I think his been Pritty solid, shouldn't be much longer till we see him playing in the centres with
Oneil!

judging by Craig's comments re: Chambers, i'd say he's got some defensive issues keeping him out of first grade. Once he works those out and gets back into the League defensive mindset he'll be pushing for a spot no doubt

in the past the super league and rugby converts normally take time to get to the nrl standard, but it will happen, but it will be interesting whos spot he takes when he is ready

Talking Point: A man amongst men – This match will mark the VB NSW Cup debut of young Tohu Harris. Harris was a 2011 Junior Kiwis squad member who has massive wraps on him emanating from the south and after two full seasons plus the first two games of 2012 in the NYC, Coach Craig Bellamy has finally decided to throw him in the deep end. Physically speaking, Harris stands at well over six foot and tips the scales at near enough to 110kg so he is more than equipped to mix it with the big boys in the Cup however a strong showing here against the likes of Takairangi, Bosden and Deeb could fast track this prodigious talent to the elite level sooner rather than later.

well lets hope tohu has a big game!

And it also says that blair won't be travelling up with cronull and he'll miss the game, is he injured or did bellamy pull him out to come to the gold coast?

May be a slight chance they'll rest Billy if he's still sore...then move O'neil to fullback...and blamo...welcome back Bobby to first grade!

Maybe...
