****, the thought of Morris or Jennings playing for Australia makes me really depressed. it actually makes me wish that Jamie Lyon and Blake Ferguson were available, even though that last statement makes me feel quite unclean.

It's a shame it took GI so long to move out of Melbourne. He would have been an absolute joy to watch from fullback when he had all his speed - some of that footage from 2005 in the Qld Cup was absolutely jaw dropping.
He's a better fullback than Slater but just like it was when he was at Melbourne, the best option is to play him elsewhere.

I don't think Gagai has been that much better than other centres in the NRL. i also wouldn't be pumping his tires too much after last night - all the good stuff he did in attack is pretty much negated by him getting trampled in defence.

I did say that assuming we were talking about Inglis playing fullback so I'm not sure who the two centres who rank above him (and are available) on form are.
Chambers yeah, Jennings, not for mine, Morris, not for mine, are there many others? If all our centres were available then no way but as of right now he couldn't be too far off.

oh, I missed that i guess. but I still wouldn't take Gagai even if Inglis is out of the equation. i'd take Chambers, Tate, Jennings and Hayne ahead of Gagai.
I think Gagai has plenty of potential but I honestly don't see much difference between him and Josh Morris or Jennings right now. all of them are attacking weapons and weak defenders. I'd still put Jennings ahead right now.

Forgot Hayne in the mix for centre spots. Would do a fine job. He's fullback for the PM's XIII, but considering playing for Fiji if he misses the top Australian squad.

and with melbournes exit from the finals, im done with the NRL for the year. wont be watching any matches next week, and probably wont even bother with the grand final after how terrible this finals series has been, especially the reffing.
see ya in 2014 NRL, with even less enthusiasm and support towards your product than i had this year.

Jorris better than Jennings imo.
Jennings just has pure speed, I wouldn't call him a destructive runner, he's not overly strong, he's alright defensively but not brilliant, I wouldn't say he's great at putting away his outside man either.

your loss, reffing aside the games have been quality.

not really. not at all, actually.
i dont call games decided by or hugely interfered by referees "quality". theres really only been about 1 game so far not marred by idiotic refereeing, and in nearly every match the decisions have significantly impacted the outcome. close != quality. close when referees are choosing who wins definitely != quality. it equals shit.
