Well you've already asked multiple times in multiple threads, the answer doesn't really change from week to week because there isn't any football being played by any of the halves candidates.

Well there's only 1 halves position up for grabs, Ben Hunt is guaranteed a start.

The only other halves candidates we have are;

Ben Barba - Would prefer him to play Fullback, clearly his best position at this stage.
Josh Hoffman - Would prefer him to play on the Wing, clearly his best position at this stage.
Zach Strasser - Would prefer him to spend more time in Queensland Cup.
Cameron Cullen - Would prefer him to spend more time in Queensland Cup.
Ashley Taylor - Would prefer him to spend more time in U20's / Queensland Cup.

Anthony Milford - Do want.

And if we miss out on Milford and Hunt gets injured?

How about this, I'm a 19 year old uni student with a distinguished junior rugby league career, having played several games in the backyard with my brother, as well as at lunchtime in primary school (where I regularly displayed my highly refined long kicking game). I've also got a fair bit of high level experience, having played for the school team in grade 7 in a 2 day western-suburbs interschool round-robin tournament.

Do you reckon if I shoot Andrew Gee an e-mail, he'll sign me up for a run at five-eighth?

No. Unless you put on 30 kegs.

I see four teams potentially.
IF we get Milford, I can see a team like this opening round:

1. Ben Barba
2. Josh Hoffman
3. Jack Reed
4. Dale Copley
5. Daniel Vidot
6. Anthony Milford
7. Ben Hunt
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Josh McGuire
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker
14. Jake Granville
15. Martin Kennedy
16. Alex Glenn
17. David Stagg/Todd Lowrie

and hopefully we eventually end up looking like this:

1. Ben Barba
2. Josh Hoffman
3. Jack Reed
4. Justin Hodges
5. Jharel Yow Yeh
6. Anthony Milford
7. Ben Hunt
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Josh McGuire
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker
14. Daniel Vidot
15. Martin Kennedy
16. Alex Glenn
17. David Hala

However, if we DON'T get Milford, I would assume we start like this:

1. Josh Hoffman
2. Daniel Vidot
3. Jack Reed
4. Dale Copley
5. Corey Oates
6. Ben Barba
7. Ben Hunt
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Josh McGuire
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker
14. Jake Granville
15. Martin Kennedy
16. Alex Glenn
17. David Stagg/Todd Lowrie

and eventually shift to this:

1. Josh Hoffman
2. Daniel Vidot
3. Jack Reed
4. Justin Hodges
5. Jharel Yow Yeh
6. Ben Barba
7. Ben Hunt
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Josh McGuire
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker
14. David Hala
15. Martin Kennedy
16. Alex Glenn
17. David Stagg/Todd Lowrie

Sorry for all the lists!

Don't worry guys, the name's 'troll' for a reason.

It would take a lot more than '30 kegs' for me to get a run.

Are either of your parents unwell, even if it is a transitory headache? Have you ever visited the Brisbane CBD and have some desire to return there? If you satisfy either of those you are a shoe in (at least according to the accepted wisdom on the Greenhouse), in fact I am surprised you are not already signed.

Shame on the rest of you for giving this guy a hard time.

How can you forget loyal club servant Michael De Vere struggling in the Dragons lower grade and writing to Wayne Bennett asking for a chance. Or what about a small blonde hair kid from Ipswich getting a shot at Origin in 1987 and becoming a premiership winning captain for the club?

You people make me sick.

My PE teacher felt that I was a promising talent, having selected me as the first choice fullback for the school. With my Sam Kasiano remiscient pace, and imposing 5'9, 75kg frame, I now feel like I'm ready for a Locky-style transition to five-eighth for the big stage where the team needs me most. I've also played a bit of the rugby league computer game, so I think I'll be set to organize the team on the field.
