SOO Teams 2010

[Coxy]

Look I agree with you all. Just saying that's their thoughts.

 

[Bannermania]

is there any doubt on thurston at all? he was fine during the warriors game

No doubt around Thurston now I believe, the only issue lies with Cameron Smith, but if he's not 100% he will rule himself out.

yeah i totally agree, and its laughable. oh well, at least we will only have 1 utility on the bench, and no backs. NSW have a utility and a specialist centre lol

Cronk in the backrow when he comes on?

We've done it in the recent past with Berrigan and Hunt.

 

[Bannermania]

uhh.. probably not I would say..

 

[Black Philip]

I think Cronk may have played a bit of backrow here and there in the past, but I wouldn't say he was accustomed to it. If Thurston is 100% then Cronk shouldn't be there. Sorry, and I rate Cronk very highly, but he should be the run on halfback or not there at all.

 

[ethos]

I wouldn't say Berrigan or Hunt were accustomed to it either when they played there in Origin.

Yeah and I'm not agreeing with having Cronk on the bench (I'd rather another forward, probably Te'o) but I'm just saying that's how they might use him if nothing happens to Thurston or Smith mid-game.

+1 If Thurston is 100% there should be move for him to be on he bench at any stage.

If they pick Cronk they are easily wasting a bench spot. We could put Tate on the bench, LOLOLOLOLOL.

Maybe, but I'd worry about that. While defensively he's one of the better halfbacks, I don't know if he has Berrigan's tenacity or Hunt's lack of self preservation. Hunt threw himself at NSW players last year and that's what worked. Cronk isn't that kind of player.
