Bummer for him that he won't play origin 1. But suck shit to Gallop that he won't have the best hooker in the game on display.
2012 premiers. Legit.

I think it was Nathan Friend you heard!! He was, afterall, a former Storm boy.
It's Storm season.

Nathan Friend at hooker could mean Prince at halfback!

Might just be me, but I started seeing Blair as the "player you hate at other clubs" - or Storm's very own "Gallen". He seems to play slightly dirty, always on the edge. Really didn't like what I was seeing from him last night!

If Thurston is close to 100% then he will be a shoe in. Otherwise, Cooper would be hard to overlook even though Prince is in good form.

You say potatoe ....

I love Blairy's game whether it's playing for Storm or the Kiwis - he also has a great sense of humour and is a real practical joker - you'll hardly ever see him without a smile on his face.

Australian hooker Cameron Smith has vowed to be fit for Origin I after suffering a suspected grade two medial ligament strain in his right elbow in Friday night's Test win over New Zealand.

Smith failed to see out the first half of the Kangaroos' 12-8 victory after hyper extending his elbow when he found his arm caught under the weight of Kiwi lock and Melbourne Storm teammate Adam Blair, and is now set to be sidelined for four weeks.

Writhing in pain on the ground, Smith initially attempted to have the arm strapped in an effort to get back on the field before Kangaroos medical officials ruled against a second half comeback.

He will undergo scans on Saturday and is a definite non-starter for Sunday's NRL clash against Brisbane, with Smith now eying a return in time to take his place in the Queensland No.9 jumper for Origin I on May 26.

Nah,Matt Ballin would flog the pants off Friend anyway
I'd love to see him selected but thatd be.....10ish in SoO for Manly
If i were Belamy id take Manlys entire engine room  (Besides Kite who he targetted out of an
entire pathetic forward pack which included Kites most shocking game)and after 2nite
and last night maybe even Hodkinson,Lyon for certain
