Not in the halves. Ezra, Te Maire, and Albert were all way better. Tyson too probably, but he had such an obnoxious haircut no one could take him seriously. We were all surprised Billy wasn't total shit, but he wasn't anything special. Most of us thought he earned a bench position, but definitely not a starting half. He looked okay at hooker. Quicker than Turpin, but our standard at hooker is appallingly low.
Regardless, Billy partnered Albert at 6 in the first match, because Adam was out. He went to the bench until round 5, when he returned to the halves for us to get flogged by the Roosters and then the Panthers. Tyson Gamble was finally recalled in round 7, and we all remember what happened next. We started looking like a football team.
All the while, Billy insisted 6 was the position he wanted, but he'd play anywhere the coach put him.
Nah .
TMM played one trial and was quiet . Billy looked good in the trials he played at #6 .
Gamble hardly played in the trials . And didn`t stand out . Ezra and Mariner played against the Wynnum Manly Seagulls . Easier to look good against the Wynnum colts team ...
