Petro rates Grant highly and is looking forward to coming up against him. He also said that Grant has the potential to become a long term representative player.

Yeh but in what world would civo say "nah, hes no good" when they ask if Grant is a quality player.

i was concerned heading into game 1, and im more concerned heading into game 2.
having said that, QLD cant play much worse than they did.

After game one I thought NSW had every right to be confident about game two and looking at that side they should be. It's a cracker - quick and mobile and Watmough gives them impact off the bench.
QLD will definitely have their hands full in Sydney. Decider for sure.

And that's the real point here.
I thought the entire Maroons pack was basically at 70%. Scott looked seriously underdone, Smith, Cronk and Slater looked unwell, the combinations were well below last year's levels and the overall intensity was well down as well.
While NSW have a very strong side, and the home ground advantage, I reckon the Maroons still have the edge, provided the intensity returns.
I also think the referees have a point to prove - namely that the NSW whingeing will make the ref's focus on NSW even more acute.

I still reckon Brett Stewart is the guy we need to target more. He is generally shit scared under the highball.

I think QLD will be penalised massively. That has been the whole point of the NSW verbal diarrhea, to ensure they get the rub of the whistle Game 2.

I agree, that was the NSW objective. I am indulging in wishful thinking - that the refs will get the jack of being told the truth, sorry, that they are wrong so often.

Grant in some doubt for origin, apparently injured a hammy today. No link yet but reported on Nine sports.

Dunno...I always thought he was one of the safest fullbacks in the NRL.

If Tim Grant was unavaible Aaron Woods would come in so it wouldn't be a huge loss.

More like a gain. Though for Woods' sake you'd probably want the full week and a bit in camp.

Surely you are joking? Tim Grant is like a pimple on Woods, he's nothing compared to him.

The thing is, Woods is still very young and while he's in good form I don't think he'd be as adept as Grant.
